Asklemmy

So far so good. The main reason I bailed on Reddit was the loss of RiF. I hardly ever used desktop. I'm using Connect for Lemmy and I'm still getting used to it, but it seems like a decent enough replacement.

I miss the niche subs I used to follow

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 wish I knew of a big instance on the NA west coast, so I could be closer to it. If I understand correctly, I’d still be able to access & comment on lemmy.world stuff, as well as other instances that are federated.

It's really good for tech, news, and memes - but anything related to sports or culture is pretty much non-existent. Sure sport news make it through into the NBA community for example, but no one is actually engaging - pretty much feels like an RSS reader in there.

I like it! More exposure, one or two good apps for Android/ iOS, and I'm sure it can be a better Reddit in a few months.

I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That's part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I'm happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

Really glad to be here. I wish there were more people here to contribute to the comments and wish more apps supported the instance I joined. It's growing though. Those things will improve quickly.

I like how default sort for comments is active instead of best, which was just top rated comments

that way, I see recent comments where conversation is still happening and I can participate, gives a better feeling

It’s being ok, specially after I found Wefwef (love it, but needs a better name).

But about content, I still miss a lot of the subs I was subscribed to (Oddly satisfying, TechnicalPrint, and many other specific ones). But I know that it’s only a matter of time.

Voting and posting is a bit annoying because servers are overwhelmed but I totally understand it and can wait, no problem.

I'm enjoying the hell out of it. Could be the novelty of everything, but I'm liking it more than Reddit. And like I've seen many here say, I tend to respond and have conversations here more often.

Plus, Connect for Lemmy is very nice on my Android phone. I was waiting for Sync of Lemmy to arrive, but I'm not so sure I'll switch.

The content is really bounded by tech stuff, but I guess that's due to migration being important for tech-savvy users. It is true that appending "reddit" to search queries and following the results is still inevitable (but hey, libreddit and teddit still work). But vibe is completely different, very organic, very active, I like it a lot. I think there is a lot of potential in this feeling of authentic communication. Let's hope it grows.

Lemmy is much better replacement for Reddit than Mastodon is for Twitter.

Leaving that toxic s-hole feels great. Reddits userbase had gone pretty horendous in the recent years and don't even get me started over the mods so I always begged for alternatives to be formed, I jumped ship the moment I found lemmy which is today.

It's a lot better than the last time I was here. Last time a week later the top few posts were the same lol

I like it enough to host an instance. It's pretty legit, to be honest. If I can find and join more of the same types of communities I was a part of on Reddit, I can easily see myself spending more time here. Even now, I feel like my time on my phone is an even split between Lemmy and Reddit.

Everyone's nice and there activity, but I miss some subs. I could make them them all, but creating content for all of them would be too much work... I already do that outside reddit/lemmy. 😣

It's great! Definitely satisfies the urges to scroll through a bunch of silly crap. And the Memmy for Lemmy app on iOS feels a lot like Apollo. Very happy to be part of this community, despite it's intimate size

Honestly, I'm kind of hating it... everything feels like it is in the wrong place, everything has just enough friction in interacting with Lemmy to irritate me as I try and get realigned, and nothing feels like it is at my fingertips. The signup process alone was adamant that it was incredibly straightforward and that instances don't matter... but is also very variable based on the instance you choose... I had to wait until morning because my instance's email verification didn't work and had to be done manually. Then when I look to turn on 2FA, it just doesn't work at all, very unappealing.

Maybe once Boost for Lemmy is out, that will have some quality of life, but currently I am not actively liking anything about Lemmy at all, beside just the basic principle of it.

I'm justs enjoying what we have for a fleeting summer of joy, before zuck, gptbot floods and federation fracturing inevitably ruin everything again :/

I like it better so im using it as much as i can and just hoping its not a fad and people actually move over enough to unseat reddit

I am opening Lemmy daily... Most of the posts I see are circlejerking beans post and posts that are still celebrating the death of Reddit while Reddit has posts of real quality. I open Reddit in Firefox mobile now... Still way better than Lemmy... Hope that will change but I am sceptical.

I love that it exists. I don't visit Reddit anymore, although I miss some communities, especially AskHistorians and AskScience. Otherwise, I can tolerate the teething problems of Lemmy (and kbin) in order to support a free internet. The latter is far more important, to me, than "better functionality"

No more beans, please.

I still don't know what instance to use or if it matters. But I like it, the community is similar enough to reedits. I'm looking forward to using Sync for lemmy though. I miss sync for reddit lol

Missing some of the communities I used to browse. On the other hand I can see porn on my feed again so that's nice.

Decent so far, I do want a redditisfun type app for it, and it could use more people, but other than that good

I definitely don’t ever have a reason to go back to Reddit, knowing that the subreddits I subscribed to will be here eventually if they’re not already

I love the experience so far, but god, do I crave my niche communities.

A little intimidating at first but after finding a decent mobile app (connect) and following a few communities I think I'm getting it. The whole federation and indexing is really interesting to me and eventually I could see myself hosting a small instance.

I like it so far. I miss some of the communities that are either not yet present, or are not yet active enough on Lemmy, but I'm hopeful that things will fill out over time. I do hope we can get a good solution for video hosting that isn't relying on youtube, but I get that that is a tall order.

I like it a lot. It still needs much more pull, which can only be achieved with more content and more name recognition. To that end I'm thankful for all the active users posting content here.

Another thing I notice is that it's a bit harder to get started with Lemmy for casual users than it is with Reddit - purely due to the federated nature. I think that Lemmy could gain significant ground if there were apps that made using Lemmy stupid simple and hid away the federated, decentralized nature when signing up for the service.
