Asklemmy

I still don't know what instance to use or if it matters. But I like it, the community is similar enough to reedits. I'm looking forward to using Sync for lemmy though. I miss sync for reddit lol

It's a lot better than the last time I was here. Last time a week later the top few posts were the same lol

It's great! Definitely satisfies the urges to scroll through a bunch of silly crap. And the Memmy for Lemmy app on iOS feels a lot like Apollo. Very happy to be part of this community, despite it's intimate size

Decent so far, I do want a redditisfun type app for it, and it could use more people, but other than that good

The content is really bounded by tech stuff, but I guess that's due to migration being important for tech-savvy users. It is true that appending "reddit" to search queries and following the results is still inevitable (but hey, libreddit and teddit still work). But vibe is completely different, very organic, very active, I like it a lot. I think there is a lot of potential in this feeling of authentic communication. Let's hope it grows.

Lemmy is much better replacement for Reddit than Mastodon is for Twitter.

I like it better so im using it as much as i can and just hoping its not a fad and people actually move over enough to unseat reddit

I like it enough to host an instance. It's pretty legit, to be honest. If I can find and join more of the same types of communities I was a part of on Reddit, I can easily see myself spending more time here. Even now, I feel like my time on my phone is an even split between Lemmy and Reddit.

I am opening Lemmy daily... Most of the posts I see are circlejerking beans post and posts that are still celebrating the death of Reddit while Reddit has posts of real quality. I open Reddit in Firefox mobile now... Still way better than Lemmy... Hope that will change but I am sceptical.

Loving it except for a handful of bugs that I expect to be fixed in the next release :)

It feels good to start fresh with a new set of community subscriptions. Some of them I've subscribed based on the topic before they've had significant traffic, but we'll see what happens!

Scratches the itch but like others I miss the more niche stuff.

But I'm trying to be the change I want to see

It's complicated enough the masses won't come. But easy enough to not be a pain in the ass.

Still not as comprehensive etc but you can see it growing.

It's aight. I just want to see all the billionaire bastards burn

I'm slowly figuring out things and slowly finding communities. There seems like there's a lot more genuine engagement. It's rad.

It feels like people are genuinely excited to be part of the community, which is something I haven't felt from reddit in years. I really hope that's able to stick around in one form or another. The community makes the site fun. I don't think reddit has been "fun" for a while, it's just been a content-firehose to the face, and it's nice to not be drowned by it.

But also I'm bored and don't know what to do with the internet anymore lol

I think it's really cool here. The people have been mostly friendly, the communities I'm following are decently active, and new features are being added every day. I honestly have very few complaints.

Definitely a learning curve but WefWef has solved a lot of my initial issues. Also seems like a lot less obvious bots and garbage than Reddit, which was getting pretty bad.

But so far I’m glad to be on something decentralized and excited to see what this looks like a year from now.

loving it so far aside from comments randomly disappearing after i submit them, but im assuming that bug will eventually be worked out. i miss the big card interface reddit switched to but im currently using a custom css that makes lemmy look like old.reddit.com (modified to be amoled black) and it feels great.

I prefer it. The concept of federation has been hard to wrap my mind around, but I think the issue with current-day reddit is that many communities became so large that interactions between users and even interactions with posts that are more than an hour old almost completely dried up (or at least that was my experience) which made the website a lot less interesting as a social platform and more of just a time-wasting doomscrolling link aggregation platform.

Yeah the content isn't quite as niche yet, but I way prefer it

I’m certainly enjoying it. As others have mentioned it’s a lot slower content wise and the smaller subreddits I was in aren’t here. Lots of niche content is missing, but things like news, politics, gaming, tech, security, are all here and doing fine.

I'm liking it so far, but a couple of things confuse me about the multiple instances thing.

I've made an account in lemmy.world and for the most part, have found my favorite communities are on the grow here.

However, I know there are other popular instances like lemmy.ml and such. Do our accounts not work cross compatible across the various lemmy instances?

Its great! I was on pleroma before and didn't even know Lemmy was a thing u til recently. Love federated social media.

It's fine, but I don't enjoy having to deal with federation stuff. It's doable, but it's not intuitive, and everything is a bit too disorganized.

Liking it so far. It feels a bit like the early days of the internet. You know the potential is there and can’t wait to see this grow.

I think I sort of understand in theory how instances and the communities work, but I am confused about how it works in practice. I'll hopefully figure it out in time. I signed up via reddthat, so as long as they stay federated... I should still be able to see everything and do everything and have my comments be seen by everyone? Right?

I signed my mum up for Reddit 6 years ago and she's a daily user of that (lmao I help her with subreddits and try to help her not fall into weird rabbit holes, but over all she just looks at cat pictures and fun things) but I don't think she'd manage Lemmy. Maybe, if there were already more communities and more posts related to her interests, and I set Lemmy up for her, and nothing ever changed about how she would learn to use Lemmy. But I think just the nature of Lemmy - it's too new and the idea of instances and how they are federated is too confusing for now. Or maybe I just need to understand it better myself.

I like it so far, although I don't quite understand the whole thing with instances etc yet. But I'll get there eventually. Like many others, I was just lurking on Reddit, but now it feels like it might be worth commenting and maybe even posting once in a while. That's a great feeling

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

Very little content here. But I'm glad the crowd is more diverse than on Mastodon

Much better than Reddit. I no longer get my comments automatically removed by some poorly implemented algorithm anymore. Lemmy is more flexible and diverse.
