Asklemmy

I think I like more than I liked reddit.

But my NSFW needs are not met yet, reddit have way more fap fuel.

Totally digging in. I'm still trying to find the easiest way to navigate. I don't spend nearly as long in Lemmy as I did Reddit, which is a good time. 10-15 minutes every few hours seems healthy. It satisfies that urge just enough.

I'm liking it a lot. Completely replaced Reddit. Hopefully there will be fewer posts about how Reddit sucks soon as that will start to smell of obsession very quickly.

Kinda like how conservative subreddits were nothing but complaining about progressives, or how r/sino is nothing but trying to shit on America

I'm justs enjoying what we have for a fleeting summer of joy, before zuck, gptbot floods and federation fracturing inevitably ruin everything again :/

It's OK so far but I think I'll be more engaged when Sync for Lemmy launches. The UI isn't streamlined enough and I would like to stumble on communities by accident but I'm not sure if it's possible.

I like it a lot. It still needs much more pull, which can only be achieved with more content and more name recognition. To that end I'm thankful for all the active users posting content here.

Another thing I notice is that it's a bit harder to get started with Lemmy for casual users than it is with Reddit - purely due to the federated nature. I think that Lemmy could gain significant ground if there were apps that made using Lemmy stupid simple and hid away the federated, decentralized nature when signing up for the service.

Tbh not sure why I didn't join sooner. I really like the idea of Lemmy. I'm exited to see more communities come in and grow the platform. Would love to see more voices and perspectives, but I also kind of like the tiny bit of barrier to entry. If someone goes through the process of joining an instance and figuring out how all of this works then it means they really want to be here and they have some sense about them to get here. I really hope Lemmy flourishes and it's not a bubble because of Reddit.

Not enough content yet but I'm contributing what I can and if everyone keeps getting their friends on Lemmy it will be amazing.

I love it. I'm just really hoping the sports communities take off. Following and commenting in game threads had become a big part of how I enjoy watching sports and I really want that again.

I’m liking it a lot. Using WefWef so I get a similar experience to Apollo.

I'm really enjoying it. I feel way more inclined to post here, I very rarely did over at Reddit. People seem a lot more receptive and willing to participate.

Only downside is that it doesn't have the history Reddit has, so I still find myself using Reddit's history for research. I haven't installed the new app though, and I haven't looked at /r/all since the API changes went into affect.

I've been a lurker.. I believe this is my first comment. I'm enjoying it so far and staying patient as I've seen significant progress over the past week alone. The app im using has improved as well 👍👍

I like it, but I miss how plentiful yet niche reddit communities could be

Also, I doubt people that don't like the app are more likely to interact with this thread

It’s great! I’m not banned here so I can participate.

Got banned from reddit last summer because I mocked someone’s plan to solve the housing crisis by vandalizing houses.

Good, but why are there sooo many duplicate communities?

Unlike most I presume, I felt more forced off of Reddit. I found the official app unusable in comparison to RIF. My transition has been pretty good. Communities I browse have been fun and surprisingly a bit wholesome. In truth the only thing important I lost is the r/oneshot community. That has been a gut punch to me. But I can't give up just yet. I have to try to see if I can build a new home in Lemmy.

I like it so far. I miss some of the communities that are either not yet present, or are not yet active enough on Lemmy, but I'm hopeful that things will fill out over time. I do hope we can get a good solution for video hosting that isn't relying on youtube, but I get that that is a tall order.

Noticing a lack of communities that cater to specific interests, like ones for specific video games. Most of the content I see is either porn or shitposting/memes. Hoping it continues to grow.

It’s being ok, specially after I found Wefwef (love it, but needs a better name).

But about content, I still miss a lot of the subs I was subscribed to (Oddly satisfying, TechnicalPrint, and many other specific ones). But I know that it’s only a matter of time.

Voting and posting is a bit annoying because servers are overwhelmed but I totally understand it and can wait, no problem.

I dig it. I lurked a few weeks before signing up. Feels freer, less stressful here so far. (Not for instance admins, I'm sure!) I miss some of the niche subs over there, but I'm adjusting. I've only tried wefwef and Liftoff so far, but will get around to giving more apps a shot, too. Using Firefox on mobile hasn't been bad either. As a creature of habit, I was a long time RIF user and imagine I'll eventually get attached to one for Lemmy.

Growing pains for sure. The power of reddit is it's ubiquity - communities on reddit can be very granular because the critical mass has been reached for it to still function. I dont want the homepage of reddit, the social network black hole of endless scrolling, I want conversations about things I can't discuss anywhere else. Home assistant yaml tips and the best builds in Path of Exile and whatnot. While I like the long-term implication a of lemmy, right now it's specicially the worst part of reddit.

it's scratching the itch quite fine so far

It's lovely. Haven't looked back. The only thing I've even thought about going to reddit for in the last three weeks has been the occasional technical answer that comes up in a Google search.

I hope that in time the fediverse will become the same sort of resource.

I like it. As an IT guy I tried to set up my own instance and failed because the guides and READMEs are shit. So I chose the idiot proof way, now here I am. I'm missing the content, but hey, we Redditors just joined. Let's wait a while.

Relatively little going on so I'm still gonna go back to reddit occasionally because for example on the software development side I've found the reddit communities really useful and they simply don't exist here.

Beyond this I'm determined to stick it out with lemmy. There are cute animal pics. There are memes and jokes. And a few other interests of mine are also reasonably active. It's almost enough to satisfy my desires for "doomscrolling" without being a total time trap. So that's nice.

upvoting things on the main lemmy.ml page spins forever.

I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That's part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I'm happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

the fediverse has done a great job replacing reddit for my scrolling-though-random-stuff needs! as for more niche stuff, it's still not there yet (as has been pointed out many, many times already), but i'm trying to help! i'm posting and commenting regularly on !kirby@lemmy.world. "be the change you want to see" and all that. i encourage everyone else to do the same with their niche communities!

edit: though at this point i have 4 accounts across different instances (here, lemmy.world, kbin.social, feddit.online), thanks to various things. so it's not entirely smooth sailing for me right now

There are less people, but I enjoy it a lot. I more and more seldomly look into Reddit these days. I‘m much more active here, hoping that more and more users step over…

I like it a lot. Obviously, content is lacking. But that is up to us to fix. The general fediverse capabilities are fantastic, but still a tad too confusing for newbies (from which communities can I see content, which communities can I see etc.) and take a while to figure out. Apps are already great. General UI is great as well.

honestly I just want boost for lemmy to come out sooner so I can mindlessly scroll lemmy instead of reddit, been figuring the place out just fine

I feel like the considerate people who are able to act like adults are the majority here, and it feels really nice. Thank you all.

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

Really glad to be here. I wish there were more people here to contribute to the comments and wish more apps supported the instance I joined. It's growing though. Those things will improve quickly.

I like it. Been spending a lot more time here than Reddit. That's for sure.
