Asklemmy

Everyone's nice and there activity, but I miss some subs. I could make them them all, but creating content for all of them would be too much work... I already do that outside reddit/lemmy. 😣

It's great! Definitely satisfies the urges to scroll through a bunch of silly crap. And the Memmy for Lemmy app on iOS feels a lot like Apollo. Very happy to be part of this community, despite it's intimate size

I like it better so im using it as much as i can and just hoping its not a fad and people actually move over enough to unseat reddit

Honestly, I'm kind of hating it... everything feels like it is in the wrong place, everything has just enough friction in interacting with Lemmy to irritate me as I try and get realigned, and nothing feels like it is at my fingertips. The signup process alone was adamant that it was incredibly straightforward and that instances don't matter... but is also very variable based on the instance you choose... I had to wait until morning because my instance's email verification didn't work and had to be done manually. Then when I look to turn on 2FA, it just doesn't work at all, very unappealing.

Maybe once Boost for Lemmy is out, that will have some quality of life, but currently I am not actively liking anything about Lemmy at all, beside just the basic principle of it.

I really like it here. Im on connect for lemmy which is giving me boost for reddit vibes

Decent so far, I do want a redditisfun type app for it, and it could use more people, but other than that good

I enjoy it so far, but I am noticing that the userbase is currently a lot smaller and thus there are fewer posts and comments. Also, the niche interests are very thinly represented. For instance, I enjoyed following the valheim subreddit to get up to speed with updates and see fun creations. Lemmy has basically no community for valheim. The same goes for other narrow subjects. I expect this to grow along with the popularity of Lemmy, but it's currently a bit shallow.

I like it enough to host an instance. It's pretty legit, to be honest. If I can find and join more of the same types of communities I was a part of on Reddit, I can easily see myself spending more time here. Even now, I feel like my time on my phone is an even split between Lemmy and Reddit.

I love that it exists. I don't visit Reddit anymore, although I miss some communities, especially AskHistorians and AskScience. Otherwise, I can tolerate the teething problems of Lemmy (and kbin) in order to support a free internet. The latter is far more important, to me, than "better functionality"

It's great! Though I'm missing some niche communities. And some good apps.

Definitely a learning curve but WefWef has solved a lot of my initial issues. Also seems like a lot less obvious bots and garbage than Reddit, which was getting pretty bad.

But so far I’m glad to be on something decentralized and excited to see what this looks like a year from now.

It's complicated enough the masses won't come. But easy enough to not be a pain in the ass.

Still not as comprehensive etc but you can see it growing.

The content is really bounded by tech stuff, but I guess that's due to migration being important for tech-savvy users. It is true that appending "reddit" to search queries and following the results is still inevitable (but hey, libreddit and teddit still work). But vibe is completely different, very organic, very active, I like it a lot. I think there is a lot of potential in this feeling of authentic communication. Let's hope it grows.

Lemmy is much better replacement for Reddit than Mastodon is for Twitter.

I've been spending more time here than reddit since they killed 3rd party apps. I'm liking it so far

I still don't know what instance to use or if it matters. But I like it, the community is similar enough to reedits. I'm looking forward to using Sync for lemmy though. I miss sync for reddit lol

It feels like people are genuinely excited to be part of the community, which is something I haven't felt from reddit in years. I really hope that's able to stick around in one form or another. The community makes the site fun. I don't think reddit has been "fun" for a while, it's just been a content-firehose to the face, and it's nice to not be drowned by it.

But also I'm bored and don't know what to do with the internet anymore lol

Trying to figure things out. I like it so far, just feels a little different. A little more sparse. Using the Jerboa app, which seems okay. I miss Boost, but I think the dev is working on a Lemmy version.

I love the experience so far, but god, do I crave my niche communities.

Leaving that toxic s-hole feels great. Reddits userbase had gone pretty horendous in the recent years and don't even get me started over the mods so I always begged for alternatives to be formed, I jumped ship the moment I found lemmy which is today.

Very little content here. But I'm glad the crowd is more diverse than on Mastodon

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

Really miss Sync, but am living well enough with Connect until Sync for Lemmy is released.

I really love it. Even though I miss a few subreddits, Lemmy feels much like early Reddit, and it scratches an itch I've felt for many years.

No more beans, please.

r/NCD and various firearms related subreddits are all I miss from reddit.

Think it would be cool to start an instance dedicated to firearms where there's a general community and separate smaller communities dedicated to certain popular platforms or topics like r/longrange or r/ak47. If I take it upon myself to start this I'd try to keep it apolitical other than maybe a community dedicated to gun rights/control/policy discussion only.

I’m certainly enjoying it. As others have mentioned it’s a lot slower content wise and the smaller subreddits I was in aren’t here. Lots of niche content is missing, but things like news, politics, gaming, tech, security, are all here and doing fine.

Scratches the itch but like others I miss the more niche stuff.

But I'm trying to be the change I want to see

I prefer it. The concept of federation has been hard to wrap my mind around, but I think the issue with current-day reddit is that many communities became so large that interactions between users and even interactions with posts that are more than an hour old almost completely dried up (or at least that was my experience) which made the website a lot less interesting as a social platform and more of just a time-wasting doomscrolling link aggregation platform.
