Calling all refugees! Reddugees? What has your experience been since migrating from Reddit to Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've had a great time here. The people on the various communities I've joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven't encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.

I've had really cool conversations and I haven't been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.

What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.

People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.

I'm excited to see your experience as well?

I'm really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D

Lemmy itself seems fine reading wise. The main issues I have with it are that the communities are spread to thin with everyone making their own niche communities that have little to no activity and thousands of 0 comment posts. Wouldnt be that bad except the sort options for lemmy seem to not work that great and I dont want to spend the time curating from an every changing list of communities just to propagate my feed... because at this point it seems like a waste with servers federating and unfederating. The 3 main servers I tried sofar have been unfederated from the largest gaming community of lemmy which makes them almost useless to me.

Lemmy still needs a lot of work to be a good replacement for reddit. Better sorting options would go a long way and maybe allowing each server to have a "home page" that lists their own curated and popular communities as a home page.

Click the “instances” button (bottom) when you visit potential homes to see if they are federated with the gaming community you want.

Better yet, join the instance that hosts the gaming community you want.

For every instance you can click the “communities” button (top) to see a list of all the communities on that instance.

Yeah that's a valid concern. I was thinking of making a blades in the dark community but a lot of people pointed out that there already isn't much content on these rpg communities as it is. So splitting it up would be pointless.
