I like it. The memes and entertainment are growing and good enough for me. But the knowledge base needs more input so that it can be used at some point as discussion forum for problems in different categories. Like the old Reddit were you could search if people had this problem and solved it etc etc.

Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.

I won't be going back to reddit.

LOVING it!!!! It's very similar to reddit as far as content goes, but its better in the sense that im not being bombarded with rage bait!

I'm currently juggling 3 different apps to find one that works best for me (Jerboa, Connect, wefwef.app via Hermit, and excitedly waiting for Sync for Lemmy). I'm also experimenting with setting up my own instance to learn more about federation.

I love the principle/values of Lemmy, what it stands for, being part of a growing platform and learning about it. But when I'm just looking for mindless time-wasting content to kill boredom, I find myself missing the quality of experience, the communities, the level of engagement and diversity content from Reddit. Many subreddits I used to follow for "dumb" content simply don't exist on Lemmy, and I doubt it will gain inertia on Lemmy.

I find the idea of instances and being able to have a home instance while seeing others so great. It's like IRC with a server of choice and channels, but I even have the opportunity to see other servers, so it's a fun idea to me. Also Lemmy users are so nice! You're the best, and it must be a bit awkward for so many Reddit folk to very suddenly arrive.

Definitely nice to scroll through news and memes again without having to deal with twitters dumpsterfire. Still some comforts I'm used to are missing but it's early days and I only see it getting better from here.

Definitely not missing Reddit.

I am enjoying out here. There are a lot of interesting posts and good discussion. However almost 80% of subs I am subscribed to on reddit are not here because they are niche subs. So now my browsing is divided between reddit and lemmy.

[–] DeaLikesTrains@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'm liking it so far. What I've seen so far seems like the lemmy community is much more giving and less toxic than reddit.

[–] Heku@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

Still learning how to use it, but so far i like it. I wish to find an app that would use less mobile data tho, RIF was nice and light, but Connect atleast feels like good ol' RIF.

[–] mr_sparkle@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I’ve really been liking it for the most part and hoping there’s a real app soon. After all the subreddit blackouts last month Reddit started to feel like the big, empty hollow worlds of some video games. That’s when I stopped using it.

[–] FellowHuman@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

I realy like it, but I miss RIF. I use Jerboa now, but might switch an app. RIF was realy usefull for not looking at stuff (loading it) for seccond time. I saw purple link and just skipoed the post, without needing to open it or to load the image again.

I'm a cat and currently I'm loafing in a corner of the room on my own cushion.

Translation: I am enjoying the peaceful moment looking at people doing their things here.

the site loads way faster for me than reddit ever did, to the point that I'm actually stoked about it

It would be nice to have a place to discuss world events without trolls brigading every thread.

[–] Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quite well. It motivated me to build my own Lemmy client and it makes me enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

Enjoying it a lot. Set up my own instance to try out, and exploring a lot of others. I enjoy the community a ton!

[–] richyawyingtmv@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)
