I'd like to be able to group multiple subs into a mult-iLemmy that I can save to refer to. e.g I have multiple gaming subs I'd like to group into a single browsable page titled "games". Any way to do multi-subs?

[–] Lateralking@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago

I see a lot of reposted content or no content changes because of lack of user activity unfortunately.

That's driving me to use my phone less though so that's a plus.

Great but there’s some frustrations. My instance appears overloaded and often voting or commenting fails. I’m also using alpha software so it’s unstable. And the communities are much tinier and quieter.

I’m sure in a few weeks there will be some big improvements. Early mastodon was like this too.

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

Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.

I won't be going back to reddit.

[–] unplug@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Wizza@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] oranges@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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 :)

[–] meantfornothing@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Good quality memes so far, content for specific communities such as games or sports is lacking

[–] justmike@pnw.zone 3 points 2 years ago

@alphapro784 I feel like I'm using it wrong. I only see replies in my feed, not the original question. Probably user error on my part. Just haven't had the time to explore it.

I miss some of the subs from reddit but I don't want to deal with their app.

[–] elios94@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I find it refreshing, for the most part. I've found that comments and replies are much more civil, I'm still getting used to the way users here disagree with actual reasoning while maintening respect for the other perspective. I had ads blocked before, but being absolutely ad free, without even the blank space where an ad would go is even better. The only downside is the amount of space dedicated to complaining about reddit. I don't wish to stop anyone from processing in whatever way they need, I just need to spend more time in my subscriptions instead of "all".

I like it but definitely miss some of the more niche subreddits that I followed back on reddit, but hopefully those come over as Lemmy grows.

[–] Fishe_stix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.

[–] ohlaph@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It has been fun so far. Just wishing more content eas here, but hopefully it'll increase with time.

[–] mrmoj0rising@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This is literally my first ever comment on Lemmy - been lurking since Apollo went dark. Going to try and be way more active here than I ever was on Reddit, need to start throwing more upvotes around too.

I have a nice little folder on my homescreen full of apps I’m switching between which is fun in itself watching them develop super fast, with great updates from the devs and server hosts which adds to the feeling of being in on the ground floor (typing this on Memmy, but also enjoying wefwef when it works for me).

There’s a real feeling here of “something” happening, but no one quite knows what it is yet. I wasn’t there for the really early days of Reddit, but I presume it felt a bit like this. The Beans situation was fun to watch come and go.

I haven’t built up a sub list of communities yet like quite like I had, so mostly just browsing All to soak in the entire platform, but that will come with time as it did over there.

Overall, it’s solidly filling the Apollo sized hole in my heart and in my day-to-day doomscrolling. I’m definitely sticking around for the long haul here - fuck you u/Spez.

[–] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!

[–] zozo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Krzak@discuss.online 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Bebo@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

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.
