I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit’s positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted “f*ck u/spez” on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can’t delete Reddit from your head.
Other than being a bit quiet, I am enjoying it more than I ever did reddit. It’s the quiet, the newness, the wait for new communities to pop up, but most importantly, I don’t get the feeling of overbearing moderators.
Thank you for taking all of us in.
Honestly I’m kind of struggling with the concept. I’m using the connect android app but it’s just not clicking for me… how do I know if I’ve found the right community? On Reddit there was only one /r/gaming but when i search on lemmy I get lots of small communities all for the same thing across different instances. Am I misunderstanding how this works? This must be how my parents felt when i first tried explaining Reddit to them 5 years ago
Is missing an active NBA community, which is/was at least half of my reddit traffic along with several other subs I frequented, so I that regard it’s a let down.
The interface is already better on jerboa than anything reddit ever made, and I haven’t had a ton of issues, just missing the communities.
With apologies for sounding like a McDonald’s ad, I’m loving it!
I was very wary when I switched over the day before the app-pocalypse because of my experience trying to replace twitter with Mastodon, but this place has NOT felt like yelling into the void, it’s immediately done most of what I used reddit for!
Lemmy is awesome - I’m really enjoying it. Like the early days of Digg, even Fark, etc. Quality stuff happening!
Performance has improved, but many niche communities need more growth and engagement.
Duplicate communities across Lemmy instances are a bit of a nightmare in some ways - although by design, and also have advantages.
r/all on Reddit looks pretty different now, unless that’s just my perception. A lot of subs I’d never seen, more low quality stuff with less engagement.
There are less people, but I enjoy it a lot. I more and more seldomly look into Reddit these days. I‘m much more active here, hoping that more and more users step over…
I’ve gone cold turkey from Reddit and I’m loving it. My one complaint about Lemmy, that I haven’t figured out if this is setting for, is when logging on you always see the most active posts from your specific instance. I would like to see instead the top post from all instances by default
I’m using wefwef, so I honestly forget I’m not using reddit through Apollo half the time. The culture migrated really seamlessly for me
I have never heard of the fediverse before the whole exodus. As soon as I did, I was immediately hooked. Fuck corporate interests.
I think I like more than I liked reddit.
But my NSFW needs are not met yet, reddit have way more fap fuel.
There’s one aspect of it that I didn’t expect, and that’s its exclusivity. Seems like this is a small, but vibrant, community of geeks, just like the whole internet was in the 90s and 2000s.
I’m not 100% sure it’ll be able to replace reddit in the area of getting advice on niche topics, but I do believe I’ll enjoy being here.
It’s fine but way too much talk about reddit.
I’ll tell you one thing, I kinda like that it’s small. and that I’m seeing this thread on front page second day in a row.
It’s cool to have the smaller amount of content so it all moves a little slower.
Feeling good. It’s early, and I know we need to keep that in mind. That said, more of the communities I used to follow have started setting up shop here and that is a good feeling. Now with Memmy on the App-store I feel at home and don’t have much if any real reason to go back to Reddit.
