Asklemmy

Its great, every day more and more people are creating content and the quality of discussions is rich and contextual in most cases, back in reddit most of the times a huge chunk of the top comments where just reddit comedians making a low effort comment to try and gain upvotes.

One of the things I like about lemmy the most so far is the ability to view both a local All and the All with every instance there is, so if my local instance gets stale I can just look at whats happening on all instances!

So far it's good.I think over time it'll keep growing on me

r/NCD and various firearms related subreddits are all I miss from reddit.

Think it would be cool to start an instance dedicated to firearms where there's a general community and separate smaller communities dedicated to certain popular platforms or topics like r/longrange or r/ak47. If I take it upon myself to start this I'd try to keep it apolitical other than maybe a community dedicated to gun rights/control/policy discussion only.

Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.

Reminds me of early days Reddit with smaller communities and content. Reddit has more than a decade to build on its community, so naturally it has more content and more niche communities. But Lemmy doesn't have big cooperate influence like Reddit, so hopefully it can have more balance and unbias contents in the future.

It definitely feels emptier, but I imagine that with time that will change. Still, I don't mind it, because that means that people here are generally more active.

I still miss some subs, but I know those will also come with time.

Currently I use Connect Lemmy for Android as with Jerboa there was a login issue when the server version wouldn't match. Not sure if this app is more resilient to this but it wasn't a good start. I couldn't use Lemmy properly for about a week or two. I also don't like that Lemmy is hard to search for new SubLemmy or search for results via Google. Before I just added "Reddit" to get the good results, I wonder how this will evolve if Lemmy gets bigger. Well and the whole kbing/Lemmy/mastodon link of the Fedyverse is really confusing for new people.

I like it a lot, but I do miss the multi-reddit feature, several communties in one feed. But so far, so good!

It's Much faster than reddit, no ads. it makes me think reddit should die at earliest

It's weird, a little quirky, and can be a unpredictable at times. It all adds to charm though and I love it.

Made my account yesterday. I'd never heard of Lemmy so I decided to check it out. So far, it translated pretty well to what I was used to with reddit but it feels a lot like reddit did 12 years ago which is great. Also, there's NSFW posts on my feed! As soon as I saw that, I signed up so fast.

I don't know what the process is to create a community, but I have a few I want to try and bring to the table that may hopefully attract some quality users from subreddits i frequented. Audio production, magic the gathering, thunder basketball, etc.

Also, each and every comment I read from lemmy users feels...genuine? Like everyone has something to add instead of the same stale "this" comments. Overall, it's been great getting to know this website!

With the improvements Ruud and team put into Lemmy.World, my experience has gotten infinitely better. Lemmy is completely satisfying my Reddit addiction, and Memmy is an incredible app to navigate it all.

Overall, I’m really happy I made the switch. Had a 12 year run on Reddit, but Lemmy proves that Spez is wrong about where the value lies. If the content is water, there are dozens of ways to move it to different places, and right now Reddit looks like a leaky bucket in comparison.

i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick 'subscribe' button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.

generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.

glad to see two huge F1 communities though!

It's good but it doesn't have all fixes for all problems yet like reddit had

I really like it, except I'm still constantly getting "network error" messages. Not sure if it's a Jerboa app glitch or if the networks are still incredibly overloaded.

For example, every comment I post will buffer for a bit then tell me there's a network error, as if my comment didn't get posted. But if I refresh the post, my comment shows up. It's going to happen this time, too.

It's a bunch of people chopping it up. I'm a fan. Mostly cause it's not apart of any economic system probly.

I prefer the smallish community size over the vast sea of opinion that is reddit.

I've tried a few lemmy apps, but none of them (as far as I can tell) support swiping between posts

As in: you see a list of posts, click one to view, and after viewing: swipe from right to left to see the next post

Hopefully I'm wrong and someone can correct me!

I've been in Lemmy for a month now and I've never seen the need to come back to reddit at all. I like it here.

There are a handful of local/regional subs on Reddit that I'll miss. I typically scanned them for news and current events happening around me. Their analog communities have been created here but the population is still pretty meagre. Which is fine. It means that to make it interesting I'll actually have to participate more rather than just lurk.

I'm getting used to Lemmy, really enjoying my experience so far. I'm using the Jerboa app and it has honestly worked very well. Slowly discovering more communities to join. I think I'm here to stay (and mostly lurk)

I don't know how it works, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it.

So much potential! All that has to happen, in my opinion, there needs to be 3 instances( at minimum) that will promise to never defederate anything! And I mean keep corporate meta bs included and as long as it's not illegal ( looking at you, r/jailbait) it should be included. This platform will take off!!!

Let everyone have an opinion, a voice. Even if it's offensive. There should be a place for racism, fat phobia and discourse of any kind. And then we can have a place for everything else in between. As long as we have that yin and yang on the Internet lemmy will take off! like nothing else in the world because if you don't want to see something just don't join that community or that a federation.

A truly open source and free place curated just for you based on what you want, what you desire and what you would like to learn, that, that's what this place is all about!

It's the pipe dreams that the internet should have always been.

That's just my 2¢. Let everyone have a place and let it be free!

I'm digging it so far. Nothing to complain about. Just being patient with it's growth. Great potential.

Honestly, I like it here. I've started to migrate mid-June and I got involved way more than in 5y of reddit. I'm definitely not looking back.
