6 of my most lurked subreddits have no equivalent over here. I have no hope as they are niche and it will take a lot of momentum for them to migrate over here

So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.
Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!
Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.
In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.
I like it, definitely more politically aligned than reddit, but I still find it a bit empty. On one hand, I like that my comments donβt drown in a sea of similar comments, on the other there is rarely a lively discussion. So: mostly good, still hoping for a bit of growth
I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or the apps just suck
just got banned from lemmy.world/c/world because they are anti-semites who won't even let people express their opinions there fuck that community other then that i like this place quite a bit, and i keep explaining it to new people.
Frankly, it's not doing much for me. I feel like the population here is looks like an IT team. Overwhelmingly male, largely white, largely het and cis. I've realized one of the things I liked about reddit was how much diversity of people there was.
Hey there!
I just wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on Lemmy, and let me assure you, I'm not a robot, just a fellow human appreciating this amazing platform.
One of the things I absolutely love about Lemmy is its federated nature. It's incredible how Lemmy enables users to create and host their own instances while still being interconnected with the broader Lemmyverse. This decentralization allows for a diverse range of communities and perspectives to thrive, fostering a truly democratic and open environment.
I also appreciate the emphasis on privacy and user control. Lemmy respects users' data and privacy by not collecting personal information or tracking their activities. It's refreshing to be part of a platform that puts the power back in the hands of the users.
Furthermore, the community-driven nature of Lemmy is truly remarkable. Users can actively participate in shaping the platform by contributing to its development, suggesting new features, and engaging in meaningful discussions. It feels like a collaborative journey where everyone's voice matters.
Lastly, the open-source nature of Lemmy is a game-changer. It allows for transparency, innovation, and community involvement in the development process. The ability to explore the source code, contribute improvements, or even host a personal instance adds another layer of empowerment to the users.
In summary, Lemmy offers a unique and refreshing experience in the world of online communities. Its federated approach, emphasis on privacy, community-driven nature, and open-source philosophy make it a platform worth celebrating.
So, join me in embracing this incredible space where real humans come together to connect, share ideas, and build a thriving community!
