Really enjoying it, especially with the wefwef app (apollo refugee :( ). Compared to my experience on Reddit I actually feel the urge to contribute to discussions here and not lurk.
The only downside so far is that I kinda miss my niche subreddits... I've been checking sub.rehab on and off to see if they've migrated to Lemmy.
I'm the opposite. I still haven't really figured out how Lemmy works and I find it harder to participate in conversation because there are so few comments. And I don't know if it's possible to get notifications when someone replies to my comment which makes it even harder to engage. Plenty of people have explained how Lemmy works as a concept but I've yet to see anyone talk about how to effectively use it.
Right now it's just my reddit methadone so I have something to scroll through but I've seen maybe 5 total interesting posts after days of use.
I migrated from doomed Apollo unto wefwef.app and the interface doth please but not surprise me. Verily, the inbox behaveth as expected.
If thy desire for notification refers to actual notification I weep for thy whipped and harried sense of calm.
Iβve found that some of my niche interests have communities here. The βallβ view is still 90% commentary on lemmy vs reddit, not nearly as entertaining as the comparable view on reddit, but if you can find active communities in your areas of interest it is much more engaging.
You should try making them! Maybe everyone else is doing the same and just waiting for someone to make it.
I'd love to honestly, just not familiar at all with managing/moderating a community which puts me off from the idea :( I'll probably see how I feel about it in a couple of months though ahah
