Ask Lemmy

I still see and experience blind down voting and people missing each other's points, but much less than on Reddit. Overall I'm more aligned with the viewpoints shared here, especially because the vibe on the other site has really changed a lot after over 10 years.

I definitely use lemmy a lot less for mindless scrolling, due to the lack of content, which is great to be honest.

I spend more time researching stuff through articles, forums, YouTube, and yes, also the other site still when it's through specific Google searches.

I still see way more US centric content than I'd like but there's definitely a good European presence, and it's also on me because I'm still browsing basically the whole unfiltered feed at this point.

Its decent for me. As others have said it's still got a long way to go but it works for what I use it for. I'll likely be sticking around here unless something better pops up or lemmy goes the way of the dinosaurs.

The only thing missing is a large contingent of sports fans to populate game threads and it’s perfect

Me too! In the beginning, I wondered how I would fit in, but that's not a worry anymore.

I kinda like it, it's a bit lonely here though. Lot of improvement needed still.

I like

Same for Kbin

Honestly, I miss reddit. Lemmy is kinda good, but just doesn't do it for me.

Also the fucking leftists, I swear. Reddit has their share but you could block them without losing 90% of the site.

To add something that I haven't yet seen mentioned (didn't read the whole thing), porn. It hasn't taken off like it did on reddit, and I do miss that. I don't want my feed covered in porn, but I would like to have quality porn properly covered in an adult instance. Pornlemmy and lemmynsfw just doesn't cut it.

Im on infinity, and I don't love that there's little to no support for popup gifs and videos on the feed, I mostly have to go into a post whose title may catch my attention then wait for something to load (or not to load, redgifs has been incredibly hit or miss for me as of late, lots of forbidden requests and failed playbacks due to it). Idk, it's not the experience or the content that you'd expect on reddit using any reddit 3rd party app.

Other than that particular thing, it's been getting very us-centric, with political memes or stuff that only us people would care about. I might have to try other instances.

Other than that, I appreciate Lemmy, it made me mostly drop reddit except for Google searches, and I feel comfortable interacting with people here.

good but mapping communities lacking alot

It's good enough to be part of my username.

Lemmy has its own cuddly places

I think about it daily.
