Asklemmy

I love it and created my own instance!!

Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

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've noticed that I come across the same posts more frequently on my front page here than on Reddit. Perhaps it would be solved as the userbase continues to grow. Other than that, I have no complaints. This platform is a perfect substitute for Reddit, if not better.

I like it so far. Everyone seems so helpful and nice. There isn't a ton of content here yet, but I know we're all working on it. Some of my niche interests have already had communities pop up since I've joined.

Currently, I'm using Connect. The UX is similar enough to Baconreader that I haven't had many issues with my transition. The future looks bright!

I'm loving hanging out with y'all.

As of today, Connect loads the comments again, so I'm pretty stoked.

Good so far. Communities here are less active and I am still using old.reddit.com for stuff that has no equivalent community here yet, but just gonna give it time and re-search for the missing stuff every so often to see if any of it has been added anywhere.

Getting better as more people are on onboarded

I find all to be rather good, and don’t miss r/all that much. There are much less news which I miss. And then there are the niche communities that don’t really exist. I’m very hopeful though!

I like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.

Managed to make me post and comment at all, which is more than reddit has ever done to me. Literally made my account around an hour ago too.

I like it. I haven’t been back to Reddit since June 30th. It still has ways to go in terms of content and app availability. I am using Memmy and it is wonderful. Missing support for gifs (some work many don’t), albums, etc. great start.

Gerally it's decent.... I don't use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I'm not sorry to see the back of that place.

It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)

I'm loving it! I's similar enough to not be confusing but different enough to be an exciting change. Hoping the apps mature more, though.

This is literally my first ever comment on Lemmy - been lurking since Apollo went dark. Going to try and be way more active here than I ever was on Reddit, need to start throwing more upvotes around too.

I have a nice little folder on my homescreen full of apps I’m switching between which is fun in itself watching them develop super fast, with great updates from the devs and server hosts which adds to the feeling of being in on the ground floor (typing this on Memmy, but also enjoying wefwef when it works for me).

There’s a real feeling here of “something” happening, but no one quite knows what it is yet. I wasn’t there for the really early days of Reddit, but I presume it felt a bit like this. The Beans situation was fun to watch come and go.

I haven’t built up a sub list of communities yet like quite like I had, so mostly just browsing All to soak in the entire platform, but that will come with time as it did over there.

Overall, it’s solidly filling the Apollo sized hole in my heart and in my day-to-day doomscrolling. I’m definitely sticking around for the long haul here - fuck you u/Spez.

It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!
