Ask Lemmy

I found Tildes appealing and will probably join at some point, especially since the RIF dev is pivoting to making an app for that platform. I like their design philosophy better than the Fediverse, but the Feds are here, now and I already feel hooked in. I can't see abandoning that even after adopting Tildes.

Personally I'm still not feeling it. My feed is just full of memes and rules posts. All the stuff I blocked in bacon reader. I can't find communities for any of the stuff I was interested in on Reddit.

I won't go back to reddit, but I do miss it.

I think the only thing Lemmy is missing is scale now. Appears there is adequate dev support currently and every day I'm finding another community I followed on reddit popping up here

And I love the idea of not having one controlling entity for the platform to answer to. This is going to create some problems that will have to be addressed eventually but for now I feel like this is us taking back what the internet should be.

I joined multiple to have many feeds

It's certainly slower and the professional communities I was part of are gone but.... I only viewed reddit from mobile and fuck that app sucks.

Yes indeed!

I think I generally federated my time reading and discussing stuff online more. What I mean: instead of spending 90% of my time only on Reddit I use more sites and services but spend less time on each one of it. Lemmy is definitely what replaced Reddit the most but as of right now there just is not as much stuff on here and not as many niche communities as there are/were on Reddit. But in combination with /Kbin, Twitter, Mastodon and some other sites with topics of interest for me, I can pretty much read about anything I like without going on Reddit at all (okay, I checked Reddit probably ten times since the protests started.)

Yes here to stay now. With Memmy in the iOS App Store. It’s finally an easier transition.

Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists

I am also using raddle.me and squabbles.io. both look promising and slightly less confusing than Lemmy with their instances.

It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).

Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.

Yeah, aside from the porn. The lemmy porn scene just isn't here yet. Also lemmy nsfw just moved servers to Ukraine where porn is illegal, so who knows?

I'm sure the answers here will be biased in favor of Lemmy, but I think I'll be sticking around here for a while. There's some communities on Reddit that, unfortunately, are too niche and don't have an equivalent on lemmy. While I'm trying to create the equivalent of r/presidents, there's other communities like r/aceattorney, r/slaythespire, etc. that to my knowledge, don't have a large community outside of it.

Despite this, I don't think I'll be moving elsewhere. I prefer Lemmy to kbin as of now, and as far as forums go, the only non-reddit or non-lemmy one that I'd even remotely consider being more regular on is Historum. Though with Historum, I find it better to just browse older threads rather than partake in current ones.

I'm a fan of Lemmy, for the memes and link aggregator aspect of it. And sense of community, there are trolls but it's generally pretty positive.

I also like the Old Internet feel that the Fediverse in general has. I'm going out and looking for things that interest me again rather than hoping for something new to come into my feed. Actually reading articles. Commenting more than twice a year.

We'll see what happens but overall, I think I'm staying.

I'm definitely sticking around. It was slow going on Lemmy after Reddit's third party app shutdown on 6/30 but there's been a noticeable uptick in posts and comments in the communities I follow which is great. I don't need 5,000 responses per post and Lemmy's discussion volume works just fine for me.

There are still a few interests I follow that aren't present on Lemmy that I'm aware of (pro wrestling and NFL being the big ones), but hopefully those arrive soon.

I think, despite rough things (performance, ui bits I dislike etc etc) its one of the better alternatives with lots of potential.

I like it a lot and I never really used reddit often.
