Ask Lemmy

Have a Tilde account now too, more users, but less active? Odd space...

Yes it is. Tried Imgur for a while, but that place is… lost. Now with the Memmy App, I feel right at home here on Lemmy

I hope it will be, and think it has the potential.

It has already replaced the "all" experience for me, and I automatically come here rather than Reddit. On the other hand, most of my engagement on reddit was with hobby/interest communities. Very few of the ones I visited on Reddit have made it across in an active way so far.

One unexpected thing is that I actually enjoy my specific instance and find myself browsing "Local" way more often than I expected.

the recent giant performance boost for lemmy.world and the launch of the ios client Memmy on the app store makes lemmy so great rn

I'll probably stick with Lemmy until another solution comes around that makes federation easier.

4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.

I love it. It's fun to watch it grow too.

I split my time between Lemmy and Tildes, Lemmy is the most Reddit-like, Tildes is more of a place for contemplation and I like it a lot, but when I feel like doomscrolling a la Reddit, I go to Lemmy.

Actually I didn't think I'd move away from reddit but since I found lemmy I have to activelly think about going to reddit to read something there. Most of the communities I already found here and suprisingly, I'm not really missing the ones which I thought I'd miss.

I'm happy so far and I'm enjoying watching the community grow.

So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.

There's a chance I'll move to kbin, although I have a community here. But in general, Lemmy makes a good Reddit replacement.

It was so hard to find and join this place, I think I'll hang for a while. I lurked on Kbin for a bit, but I hate the way they show images, especially on mobile browsers. I tried Mastadon first, but that was even more confusing.

Still not sure of lemmy Vs. Fediverse Vs. Threadiverse, whether the instance I joined is best for me, or if it even matters. On Reddit it was easy to lurk, then only one way to join, and easy to figure out. If someone figures out how to simplify using and joining their instance or universe or whatever, they have an opportunity to come out on top.

Maybe? With revancing the RIF app i can still use my old app. This being said the protests have salted the earth in many placed i subscribed to. In other places there are more bots and spam then before. Lemmy is still a little weird for me. I barely got the hang of the federation in browser, app was too weird for me.

So ill just vagabond around for a while and see what i see.

I'm between here and Squabbles, but I am leaning heavily this way, since Wefwef removed some of the annoyances. Sync coming here guaranteed that I would be here eventually.

4 weeks ago it was empty.

3 weeks ago it was a growing and a little rough to find content.

2 weeks ago it was filling in.

1 week ago it was silly (beans anyone?).

It is growing by leaps and bounds. The main thing missing now is the really good discussions in politics and news. But I think the trajectory is right and it will be the place to be.

The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.

Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.

Reddit in desktop mode is better.

Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.
