Asklemmy

I like it but definitely miss some of the more niche subreddits that I followed back on reddit, but hopefully those come over as Lemmy grows.

I miss Relay, my reddit app.

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.

I'm liking it a lot.

Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.

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 :)

Managed to make me post and comment at all, which is more than reddit has ever done to me. Literally made my account around an hour ago too.

Fairly good!

For all its downsides, federation allows for the creation of very cozy communities. I love the feature that you can switch between browsing federated and local subs.

There could be more content of course, but it's not a matter of Lemmy and I, too, feel like I want to invest more in local community than on Reddit.

Keep it up!

@alphapro784 I feel like I'm using it wrong. I only see replies in my feed, not the original question. Probably user error on my part. Just haven't had the time to explore it.

I miss some of the subs from reddit but I don't want to deal with their app.

Little bit on struggle bus. Looks like work blocks the instance I registered on so tried lemmy.world, but I guess I need a totally separate account to login to that? Seems a little fussy

Now that I've gotten used to the differences I'm enjoying it, fills a lot of the whole left by reddit. The only thing I'm missing is the scale of the user base making some of the more niche subreddits I used to spend the most time on not have a very active analog here

For the most part, there are maybe one or two subreddits I miss (ukrainianwar and wrexhamafc) and while I have found something for Ukraine, it's the quantity of content that was there. Beyond that, don't miss it at all, loving the vibe of lemmy, and glad I found a place to land. Oh and f$@% spez

It has been fun so far. Just wishing more content eas here, but hopefully it'll increase with time.

Still learning how to use it, but so far i like it. I wish to find an app that would use less mobile data tho, RIF was nice and light, but Connect atleast feels like good ol' RIF.

I find the idea of instances and being able to have a home instance while seeing others so great. It's like IRC with a server of choice and channels, but I even have the opportunity to see other servers, so it's a fun idea to me. Also Lemmy users are so nice! You're the best, and it must be a bit awkward for so many Reddit folk to very suddenly arrive.
