Asklemmy

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.

Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.

It would be nice to have a place to discuss world events without trolls brigading every thread.

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

As a former reddit sync app user, finding "liftoff" helped make the transition a smoother experience. I've been enjoying hunting for new communities to join and watching them grow.

I'm a cat and currently I'm loafing in a corner of the room on my own cushion.

Translation: I am enjoying the peaceful moment looking at people doing their things here.

I like it but still dealing with a bit of a learning curve. I expected some glitches and slow downs so that hasn't really bothered me. Looking forward to watching the platform evolve and take shape as I learn more.

just joined and i’m happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.

It's not bad! UI could use a few tweaks on Mobile though.

Enjoying it so far I think. It's hard to say. Smaller, less content, some of the things I followed haven't made the jump(and I don't have enough time on my hands to help jump start them).

Been using my phone a lot less to doomscroll, and other nonsense so I'vr had more time to work on some hobby projects and such.

Overall though it feels like a good replacement.

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.

I'm enjoying the discovery phase a lot more than I did with Mastodon, which I've largely abandoned now. It still has a way to go but it's fun seeing it grow.

Loving it! The iPhone apps are still rough or buggy, but even in the few weeks I’ve been here, they’ve come a long way. I expect great things X

Also, the beans were a nice touch. I needed some good laughs.

Quite well. It motivated me to build my own Lemmy client and it makes me enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

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.

I'm honest, I still don't get the universe concept. I am going on the site via feddit, which is the German version, I guess? If I want to see everything, I need to go to lemmy.world? If I get an app for it, what would it route me to?

It should be fine after a while if people stay here, but for now it's still in its infancy when it comes to user friendliness, I think.
