It's surprisingly good. I thought it would be more dead, but it actually makes for quite a nice replacement with plenty of content.

It's a little routh around the edges but I love seeing how instances are developing. Also the vibes seem to be more united here.
Im enjoying it so far, i think ive figured most of it out, got myself on a nice smaller local instance and everything is loading properly, and im consuming the information.
Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.
Lemmy is really good. It's not perfect, but obviously has great potential.
My only issue has been telling other people (in real life) about it, or convincing anyone to try it. The whole concept of the fediverse and related platfoms is too technical for the commoner to understand why it's so important in the first place.
Things can only get better!
I am enjoying the experience I must admit and I can't wait to see how things pan out 6 months from now. I am certainly sticking with it for the long run. Wefwef.app is amazing to interact with.
Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?
I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)
Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)
Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.
Jerboa is a pretty good app for Android. Can't wait for sync for lemmmy to come out though.
It's good. You get accustomed to something, so there's still a little loss there, but this platform has a lot of promise and I appreciate all of you who make it what it is!
Is actually really nice, I like the separated servers. I can generally filter the amount of communities I see from just my interests, to my local server and then wider. One I found out I could search for and join communities I realized I could stay here
Loving it! The iPhone apps are still rough or buggy, but even in the few weeks Iβve been here, theyβve come a long way. I expect great things X
Also, the beans were a nice touch. I needed some good laughs.
the site loads way faster for me than reddit ever did, to the point that I'm actually stoked about it
First I've heard that from a lemmy.world user lol

so so - I like that I can post from Mastodon. It feels incomplete yet intriguing.
