Honestly, I also try to be more active as a user in Lemmy, and it feels way more rewarding because it feels like a more tight-knitly community here. Like it a lot!

It checks all the boxes for me. No bots, no spam, mostly coherent adults, feels just like using reddit.
I hate to sound all hipster, but a super big community does typically end up ruining themselves. It's nothing against the fandom itself or even the majority of people in it, it's just that eventually more toxic people will be included as popularity increases.
That was my biggest gripe nearing the end of reddit and how all subs past 250k subs felt like they either became /r/pics, /r/videos, or /r/funny
i really like it without the bots. what worries me is that with influx of users eventually bots will arrive. but hopefully without karma system atleast karmafarming bots won't materialise
Letβs hope
The breadth and depth of comments is what I've missed most from the past. Really happy to see these posts in the 1000s of upvotes with 100s of comments. I'll try to do my part.
I also find it refreshing to see, what I assume is, the actual amount of votes on posts and comments again. Makes it more human maybe instead of an arbitrary number
Same here.
Keep in mind, dear folks, simply coming ain't enough. Be sure to stay and visit often, otherwise the rich assholes win ;)

I mean, if Reddit blocks 3rd party apps, I ainβt staying. Iβll just come here which appears to basically be a better version of Reddit.
If?
Mate, they've already done it.
This is pretty awesome. I've tried mastodon when Twitter shit the bed a few months back and it never really launched the way I'd hoped.
Lemmy seems pretty lively. At first I was a bit disillusioned with the fact that it's not as active as reddit, but I feel the caliber of user that's come over is better than who we've all been dealing with the past 3-5 years over there. I'm happy to be here and there's palpable excitement
Does Mastodon even have a filter so I can view all tweets from every instance like Lemmy does for posts? Because, if it does, I haven't found it.

You know I did the same thing made an account for mastodon and never really used it. But since coming over here after leaving reddit and seeing how enjoyable it was I went back to the mastodon app and I have to say now that I'm familiar with lemmy mastodon made more sense to me.

We all be going to Reddit and letting people know about the migration to Lemmy.... And make sure to promote one of the 3rd party apps to the redditors. The best one I've tried so far is Connect for Lemmy on the Google play store.
I'm using Connect right now and I'm quite happy with it. Though when Sync launches I'll be switching to that. I used Sync pro for reddit for years and would be happy to pay for that again.

Try out Liftoff. I like it quite a bit. Jerboa kept crashing on me, and Liftoff had a certain feature that Connect doesn't have (yet?)
I'll keep bouncing around and checking them all out over the next few months

Shame about World's stability issues. Probably brought on by its popularity.
Better to be broken and full than stable and empty.

My addiction have new management. A lot more community driven than the last one π
You all might not be aware, but I think Rudd started this server only at the beginning of June for funsies, probably only expecting a couple of hundred users.
Then, of course, came Reddit API-calypse. Now, here we are barely 4 weeks later, almost 80k users on the instance. From nothing, to a respectable chuck of the fediverse, just that fast. Pretty amazing.
True, I opened my account June 1st on Beehaw, lemmy.world didn't exist yet. But I had to open an account on LW when BH defederated them...

Migrated here from RIF (RIP), lemmy.world being suggested on top of the how to join guide definitely played a part in choosing this instance along with all the recommendations from other users.
Definitely feel much more inclined to comment here than on Reddit as of late, all the regurgitated meme shitposts and karma farming bot comments were getting really old. If it takes donating / paying a sub to keep Lemmy human discussion focused, that's what I will do.
Lemmy perfectly represents the adage "building the plane as you fly it" and it's been so much fun seeing it take shape.

Hi new person from reddit here! Can't wait for this place to grow
Love the decentralized model. Iβm so over corporate run sites looking to make a profit
It's nice seeing how much Lemmy is growing. I knew there would be an influx of new users from the 30th, but it's honestly nice seeing more comments overall and posts getting upvoted.
