Asklemmy

Loving it. Reminds me of the olden days of Reddit where the communities were smaller but everyone was contributing more.

The bugs and the issues help sell the fact that it's a smaller community so even those don't bother me so much.

Been on Reddit since 2010. I'm hoping that Lemmy and other Fediverse apps sort of grow out of the meta-talk and comparisons to their centralized counterparts.

Otherwise, the communities themselves seem pleasant (or swiftly defederated from by the good ones). We don't quite the critical mass to get active niche communities, or hyper-specialized ones yet, which I kind of miss. Stuff like "here's a subreddit for each of these very specific habits that cats can have", or "talk about a particular species of parrot", y'know?

It’s great! I’m not banned here so I can participate.

Got banned from reddit last summer because I mocked someone’s plan to solve the housing crisis by vandalizing houses.

I was never a hardcore Reddit user, just a casual scroller, and I have to say, with the Connect android app and after subscribing to a few communities, my experience has largely been the same. It'll be better when/if more people migrate over I feel like, but in terms of the actual experience, it's already slightly improved from Reddit.

Other than the occasional bugs, but anything getting stress tested is going to experience growing pains, and it's kind of charming. Like, new mmo launch charming. :D

I'm liking it a lot. Completely replaced Reddit. Hopefully there will be fewer posts about how Reddit sucks soon as that will start to smell of obsession very quickly.

Kinda like how conservative subreddits were nothing but complaining about progressives, or how r/sino is nothing but trying to shit on America

I’m liking it! Scratches the same itch that Reddit did. Content doesn’t roll in as quickly from my subscriptions as it did on Reddit but I guess I’m into some niche-ish things and it’ll pick up steam eventually(?).

I’m enjoying it a lot, but I am concerned about it’s staying power. Systems like Lemmy need continual engagement and growth, and I worry about the complexity being a barrier to entry compared to other services like twitter or Reddit.

I use wefwef and it works basically like Apollo did. The entire lemmy site is a fairly good replacement for Reddit. There are some sections where there is no one, but hopefully with time that will fix itself.

I've enjoyed my time here on Lemmy and am fully invested. It's helped me curb my reddit usage completely and I won't be going back.

It really feels like Reddit 10 years ago and I loved that. Rough edges and all.

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).

Unlike most I presume, I felt more forced off of Reddit. I found the official app unusable in comparison to RIF. My transition has been pretty good. Communities I browse have been fun and surprisingly a bit wholesome. In truth the only thing important I lost is the r/oneshot community. That has been a gut punch to me. But I can't give up just yet. I have to try to see if I can build a new home in Lemmy.

It's getting better every day and more stable. I'm really grateful for all the effort people are putting in it and very happy here.

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. Obviously, content is lacking. But that is up to us to fix. The general fediverse capabilities are fantastic, but still a tad too confusing for newbies (from which communities can I see content, which communities can I see etc.) and take a while to figure out. Apps are already great. General UI is great as well.

Post and discussion volume isn't as high, but it's high enough to keep me happy

I'm really liking it. It's still missing a few of my old reddit communities but feels very much like reddit used to, it at least feels like I'm getting my fix. I'm using Connect to navigate Lemmy and it reminds me a little of my dear old Baconreader.

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.

Liking it so far. It's like stepping into another reality (or instance? am I doing this correctly) where people are just decent and not all the time spiteful. It's such a breath of fresh air. I kinda feel more at ease here. I noticed that I have shared more of my feelings here than the long time I spent on rexxit. Maybe it's cuz I share the same experience with my co-refugees. Maybe it's also the upvotes that makes me feel that people are actually reading lol

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 most because I can't and don't feel the need to doom scroll. I just check in every once in a while during the day and post here and there and upvote bunches of posts and comments and then I am out. Plus I don't feel that my comments will be attacked and downvoted for no good reason.

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

I miss some nicher subs, but I really appreciate it. It's a lot less janky than I expected, and it doesn't feel empty.

I’m enjoying the beans.

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.

So far I'm enjoying it! There have been a few hiccups, but things have been coming together, especially since Memmy and wefwef have taken over the void that Apollo left.

I've also got a Squabbles account, which is I guess where the people who got mad at Reddit but insist the Fediverse is too confusing ended up, but Lemmy seems to be advancing faster in features and app functionality. At this point, between Reddit and Twitter's bullshit, I'm trying it all.

Tbh not sure why I didn't join sooner. I really like the idea of Lemmy. I'm exited to see more communities come in and grow the platform. Would love to see more voices and perspectives, but I also kind of like the tiny bit of barrier to entry. If someone goes through the process of joining an instance and figuring out how all of this works then it means they really want to be here and they have some sense about them to get here. I really hope Lemmy flourishes and it's not a bubble because of Reddit.

It's lovely. Haven't looked back. The only thing I've even thought about going to reddit for in the last three weeks has been the occasional technical answer that comes up in a Google search.

I hope that in time the fediverse will become the same sort of resource.

I like it more than reddit honestly. We've already expanded into a space 3x the size of what we have on reddit, although there are far less people and a lot of those communities will disappear. Honestly an architecture mistake that reddit only allowed one subreddit per topic instead of entire an entire reddit instance dedicated to one thing.

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 it. It definitely feeds my bored and feel like reading habit. I do wish there were more specific communities that I used to subscribe to. It has promise and feels cool getting in on something early on too.
