Asklemmy

I like it as a social media and news source (maybe better than a social media tbh) but looks like I was using Reddit wrong before because I can count the times I surfed around r/all so I never was one of the more trendy guys (or what Reddit wants to be), I spent most of my time there in retro gaming communities, homelab, selfhosting, data hoarding, networking and alike, so in a nutshell more niche fields and sadly not all of those are highly active here (although the selfhost community and alike is! Who would have guessed haha).

It will take time to fill all the needs for the different users, but I really think this can evolve in a better place, and the new Meta app will bring more people to the Fediverse, for the better or the worse.

With the improvements Ruud and team put into Lemmy.World, my experience has gotten infinitely better. Lemmy is completely satisfying my Reddit addiction, and Memmy is an incredible app to navigate it all.

Overall, I’m really happy I made the switch. Had a 12 year run on Reddit, but Lemmy proves that Spez is wrong about where the value lies. If the content is water, there are dozens of ways to move it to different places, and right now Reddit looks like a leaky bucket in comparison.

I’m really enjoying it and feel like it’s easier to reply here than in Reddit. I love seeing how fast it’s growing as well. People also seem nicer here - it feels less toxic.

I just found out how to add more…instances? I want to call them subreddits but that’s not it lol but I like it, and so far I’ve curated enough for it to keep me interested while scrolling. I do understand that everyone is still getting their footing, I definitely am, so it won’t be perfect or exactly what I want. You really gotta take time to discover and explore the feddiverse, it seems quite big.

I think if we want this space to be a great reddit alt, we gotta put the effort in making it so!

I’m not bad about it. Trying to contribute more and hopefully help this place grow!

LOVING it!!!! It's very similar to reddit as far as content goes, but its better in the sense that im not being bombarded with rage bait!

I like it. The memes and entertainment are growing and good enough for me. But the knowledge base needs more input so that it can be used at some point as discussion forum for problems in different categories. Like the old Reddit were you could search if people had this problem and solved it etc etc.

Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

Good so far. Communities here are less active and I am still using old.reddit.com for stuff that has no equivalent community here yet, but just gonna give it time and re-search for the missing stuff every so often to see if any of it has been added anywhere.

Its great, every day more and more people are creating content and the quality of discussions is rich and contextual in most cases, back in reddit most of the times a huge chunk of the top comments where just reddit comedians making a low effort comment to try and gain upvotes.

One of the things I like about lemmy the most so far is the ability to view both a local All and the All with every instance there is, so if my local instance gets stale I can just look at whats happening on all instances!

High quality content makes my scrolling more enjoyable and less depressing.

BUT vastly smaller community means it's harder to get questions answered. Reddit was my goto for all kinds of things that I have now turned to ChatGPT for.

Loving it. Haven't been back to Reddit in days. Don't foresee that changing.

I never used twitter, so i had no expectations when I used Mastodon.

I was a little hesitant with Lemmy since I use reddit so much. I'm liking it way more than I thought!

It's obviously less content, but as far ss my day-to-day use, i don't miss much. Hardest part was finding different communities to sub to, but there are enough directory sites around to help out with that.

I'm loving hanging out with y'all.

Honestly, I like it here. I've started to migrate mid-June and I got involved way more than in 5y of reddit. I'm definitely not looking back.

I love it and created my own instance!!

So far it's good.I think over time it'll keep growing on me

I'm liking it a lot.

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 :)

I like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.

Getting better as more people are on onboarded

I've noticed that I come across the same posts more frequently on my front page here than on Reddit. Perhaps it would be solved as the userbase continues to grow. Other than that, I have no complaints. This platform is a perfect substitute for Reddit, if not better.

I'm digging it so far. Nothing to complain about. Just being patient with it's growth. Great potential.

I don't know how it works, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it.

I like it so far. Everyone seems so helpful and nice. There isn't a ton of content here yet, but I know we're all working on it. Some of my niche interests have already had communities pop up since I've joined.

Currently, I'm using Connect. The UX is similar enough to Baconreader that I haven't had many issues with my transition. The future looks bright!

i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick 'subscribe' button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.

generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.

glad to see two huge F1 communities though!

It's weird, a little quirky, and can be a unpredictable at times. It all adds to charm though and I love it.
