Asklemmy

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.

Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.

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.

Loving in, and it gets better every day

I'd like to be able to group multiple subs into a mult-iLemmy that I can save to refer to. e.g I have multiple gaming subs I'd like to group into a single browsable page titled "games". Any way to do multi-subs?

I like it. I haven’t been back to Reddit since June 30th. It still has ways to go in terms of content and app availability. I am using Memmy and it is wonderful. Missing support for gifs (some work many don’t), albums, etc. great start.

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.

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!

Getting better as more people are on onboarded

I find all to be rather good, and don’t miss r/all that much. There are much less news which I miss. And then there are the niche communities that don’t really exist. I’m very hopeful though!

This is literally my first ever comment on Lemmy - been lurking since Apollo went dark. Going to try and be way more active here than I ever was on Reddit, need to start throwing more upvotes around too.

I have a nice little folder on my homescreen full of apps I’m switching between which is fun in itself watching them develop super fast, with great updates from the devs and server hosts which adds to the feeling of being in on the ground floor (typing this on Memmy, but also enjoying wefwef when it works for me).

There’s a real feeling here of “something” happening, but no one quite knows what it is yet. I wasn’t there for the really early days of Reddit, but I presume it felt a bit like this. The Beans situation was fun to watch come and go.

I haven’t built up a sub list of communities yet like quite like I had, so mostly just browsing All to soak in the entire platform, but that will come with time as it did over there.

Overall, it’s solidly filling the Apollo sized hole in my heart and in my day-to-day doomscrolling. I’m definitely sticking around for the long haul here - fuck you u/Spez.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'm liking it a lot.

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 trying to like Lemmy, but too small of a community, therefore, not enough activities.

A lot of my favorite subs aren't here.

Signing up for non tech savvy ppl is a complete disaster. Took me more than. 30-45 minutes of reading to get to signup. Most of the top Instances are closed for registration. Even if those that are open would take hours to confirm our signup.

Oh, if you go on Google, search Lemmy, it is on the top list. Even the related article is a Wiki. Lemmy needs to be less complicated, as in, everyone go sign in and get on it.

I love it and created my own instance!!

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.
