Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Fantastic! Best software ever!

Was also a reddit lurker before joining lemmy. It’s been pretty good so far! The only issue I had was that my first password was too long but it still let me make the account, so I couldn’t log in until I reset it to a shorter one. Other than that no issues other than thing occasionally taking a while to load. Loving the friendly community!

Except the problems I had with Jerboa, it's great! And now, I don't seem to be time-out on Jerboa today

Good so far. The one and only Android app available for it is serviceable, though not without issues. Other than that, if usage picks up I can see myself spending more time here.

I'm using kbin and I'm enjoying what I'm seeing so far. I think my biggest hurdle (coming from Sync on Reddit) will be getting used to a new UI, and not having the amount of customisation that I'm used to. I'm looking forward to the mobile app that's hopefully coming soon, and while it's certainly a different experience on a smaller scale, I'd like to see more people, posts and comments.

Takes some getting used to. But I love how the communities don't feel like an echo chamber.

I found it easy to join a server, subscribe to communities and post. I've also created a community that I'm passionate about and I'm trying to grow it.

I tried creating a server but failed big time, I'm a novice at that kind of stuff and didn't have the experience to know what I was doing wrong.

the "subs" on reddit is called "communities" on lemmy
