how is Lemmy going for you? (lemmy.nz)

Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I'm just curious to know how y'all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?

I'm liking it so far. But given this is a federated replacement of Reddit, how does replication of communities work? Cuz there are multiple Technology or World News communities in different instances. Which one do we follow?

[–] spasm01@lemmy.ko4abp.com 2 points 1 year ago

So I used lemmy world and then lemmy winks because world had up time issues and now I keep making ones on new instances seeing as winks seems to be dead

Memes are about the only consistent content on lemmy

Not very good. Many communities are just too small for any meaningful stuff, the UI is ugly, the software's buggy, and Lemmy (and tbh, the whole Fediverse) sometimes feels like a political echo chamber, only favoring a certain side.

[–] chrizbie@lemmy.nz 1 points 1 year ago

I like the ui myself, and some of the apps are absolutely beautiful, I get you on the lack of engagement though, I've actually gone back and opened up a reddit account for this reason, I still love Lemmy and I'm certainly not giving up hope yet, but sometimes I just need more..

I don't think I'm on my phone as much but I do miss /r/BlackPeopleTwitter. I bet the posts about the Montgomery Brawl we're top notch.

As I explained to someone, you could say it’s not exactly a cheap date here although it’s one I’m still sitting through, naturally.

Successful! A full reddit replacement!

The cons is the Sync app (or maybe it's deeper), comments seem to be under the wrong parent threads?

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair it's still in beta and that's a known issue, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
