I'm liking it so far. What I've seen so far seems like the lemmy community is much more giving and less toxic than reddit.

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.
I was able to join Lemmy fairly easily at first. Then the updates happened on Lemmy World. Was almost about to give up because I was kind of made to log off then I couldn't log back in for the life of me.
Knew I had to be patient, but at one point I got so frustrated I just deleted the whole thing.
Downloaded it again a couple of days later and all was good. All sorted. Still learning though.
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 :)
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.
Still learning how to use it, but so far i like it. I wish to find an app that would use less mobile data tho, RIF was nice and light, but Connect atleast feels like good ol' RIF.
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.
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.
Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.
It has been fun so far. Just wishing more content eas here, but hopefully it'll increase with time.
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
I miss Relay, my reddit app.
I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche "Communities" (as Lemmy generically calls them).
I need my subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I'll probably fully abandon Reddit.
