I like it. I havenβt been back to Reddit since June 30th. It still has ways to go in terms of content and app availability. I am using Memmy and it is wonderful. Missing support for gifs (some work many donβt), albums, etc. great start.

Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.
For the most part, there are maybe one or two subreddits I miss (ukrainianwar and wrexhamafc) and while I have found something for Ukraine, it's the quantity of content that was there. Beyond that, don't miss it at all, loving the vibe of lemmy, and glad I found a place to land. Oh and f$@% spez
Loving in, and it gets better every day
Still learning how to use it, but so far i like it. I wish to find an app that would use less mobile data tho, RIF was nice and light, but Connect atleast feels like good ol' RIF.
Definitely nice to scroll through news and memes again without having to deal with twitters dumpsterfire. Still some comforts I'm used to are missing but it's early days and I only see it getting better from here.
Definitely not missing Reddit.
I'm currently juggling 3 different apps to find one that works best for me (Jerboa, Connect, wefwef.app via Hermit, and excitedly waiting for Sync for Lemmy). I'm also experimenting with setting up my own instance to learn more about federation.
I love the principle/values of Lemmy, what it stands for, being part of a growing platform and learning about it. But when I'm just looking for mindless time-wasting content to kill boredom, I find myself missing the quality of experience, the communities, the level of engagement and diversity content from Reddit. Many subreddits I used to follow for "dumb" content simply don't exist on Lemmy, and I doubt it will gain inertia on Lemmy.
I am enjoying out here. There are a lot of interesting posts and good discussion. However almost 80% of subs I am subscribed to on reddit are not here because they are niche subs. So now my browsing is divided between reddit and lemmy.
I find the idea of instances and being able to have a home instance while seeing others so great. It's like IRC with a server of choice and channels, but I even have the opportunity to see other servers, so it's a fun idea to me. Also Lemmy users are so nice! You're the best, and it must be a bit awkward for so many Reddit folk to very suddenly arrive.
Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
I'm loving it! I's similar enough to not be confusing but different enough to be an exciting change. Hoping the apps mature more, though.
I'm liking it so far. What I've seen so far seems like the lemmy community is much more giving and less toxic than reddit.
I was able to join Lemmy fairly easily at first. Then the updates happened on Lemmy World. Was almost about to give up because I was kind of made to log off then I couldn't log back in for the life of me.
Knew I had to be patient, but at one point I got so frustrated I just deleted the whole thing.
Downloaded it again a couple of days later and all was good. All sorted. Still learning though.
It keeps crashing and not loading stuff correctly and giving me lots of hang time.
A lot like Reddit around the time I left Digg
I'm loving it, here is my slogan. "When life gives you lemons, make Lemmy-ade"
Fairly good!
For all its downsides, federation allows for the creation of very cozy communities. I love the feature that you can switch between browsing federated and local subs.
There could be more content of course, but it's not a matter of Lemmy and I, too, feel like I want to invest more in local community than on Reddit.
Keep it up!
Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.
Managed to make me post and comment at all, which is more than reddit has ever done to me. Literally made my account around an hour ago too.
Really good at the moment. I think i will enjoy a better lemmy when Boost will be out, just because i'm better in touch with that app for years now. Not that wefwef is bad, im also surprised for the recent updates it has got. The only things i really miss are a larger MTG community and the "Random NSFW" lol
I miss Relay, my reddit app.
Pretty good, the experience has been smooth so far. I think it would be rather hard to convince friends who aren't as into FOSS as I am to use it though.
Little bit on struggle bus. Looks like work blocks the instance I registered on so tried lemmy.world, but I guess I need a totally separate account to login to that? Seems a little fussy
Gerally it's decent.... I don't use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I'm not sorry to see the back of that place.
It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)
