Enjoying it so far I think. It's hard to say. Smaller, less content, some of the things I followed haven't made the jump(and I don't have enough time on my hands to help jump start them).
Been using my phone a lot less to doomscroll, and other nonsense so I'vr had more time to work on some hobby projects and such.
Overall though it feels like a good replacement.
Not gonna lie it was really confusing to begin with, even with a guide. Partially because I dropped by kbin first.
It would be nice to have a place to discuss world events without trolls brigading every thread.
I'm loving it! I's similar enough to not be confusing but different enough to be an exciting change. Hoping the apps mature more, though.
the site loads way faster for me than reddit ever did, to the point that I'm actually stoked about it
world??
First I've heard that from a lemmy.world user lol
It's good. You get accustomed to something, so there's still a little loss there, but this platform has a lot of promise and I appreciate all of you who make it what it is!
Quite well. It motivated me to build my own Lemmy client and it makes me enjoy Lemmy a lot more!
It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!
Been using Thunder through Test Floght and itβs been pretty nice. Iβm sure with time itβll get better and more populated but I donβt mind the calm right now.
Lemmy is really good. It's not perfect, but obviously has great potential.
My only issue has been telling other people (in real life) about it, or convincing anyone to try it. The whole concept of the fediverse and related platfoms is too technical for the commoner to understand why it's so important in the first place.

just joined and iβm happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.
Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?
I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)
Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)
Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.
Enjoying it a lot. Set up my own instance to try out, and exploring a lot of others. I enjoy the community a ton!
so so - I like that I can post from Mastodon. It feels incomplete yet intriguing.
