The content is really bounded by tech stuff, but I guess that's due to migration being important for tech-savvy users. It is true that appending "reddit" to search queries and following the results is still inevitable (but hey, libreddit and teddit still work). But vibe is completely different, very organic, very active, I like it a lot. I think there is a lot of potential in this feeling of authentic communication. Let's hope it grows.

Lemmy is much better replacement for Reddit than Mastodon is for Twitter.

It's great! Definitely satisfies the urges to scroll through a bunch of silly crap. And the Memmy for Lemmy app on iOS feels a lot like Apollo. Very happy to be part of this community, despite it's intimate size

It's great! Though I'm missing some niche communities. And some good apps.

Started out bumpy and the servers couldn't handle all the new traffic. Vast improvements over the last few days. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account today. Not looking back.

Never used 3rd party apps on reddit but was tired of the main app so I tried alternatives. Not disappointed with the current state of Lemmy and really want it to grow

I like it enough to host an instance. It's pretty legit, to be honest. If I can find and join more of the same types of communities I was a part of on Reddit, I can easily see myself spending more time here. Even now, I feel like my time on my phone is an even split between Lemmy and Reddit.

I like it better so im using it as much as i can and just hoping its not a fad and people actually move over enough to unseat reddit

I've been spending more time here than reddit since they killed 3rd party apps. I'm liking it so far

It's complicated enough the masses won't come. But easy enough to not be a pain in the ass.

Still not as comprehensive etc but you can see it growing.

It's better than I expected tbh, the app I use is Jerboa (it's suspiciously similar to boost, I'm waiting for Ruben [the dev] to publish boost for lemmy)

Everything is done right to ensure an open platform and that another redditpocalypse doesn't happens, the only thing that concerns me is that if I choose lemmy.world, I'll miss on other things, I just need all my tech related and videogames (and blender) subreddits to migrate so I fully leave reddit.

Also, I think I got a good username

I like it and I’m optimistic that it will only continue to grow and get better. I also really like the fediverse as a concept. It feels more like the old internet, where you had lots of smaller communities, rather than everything centralized into one huge space.

I love that it exists. I don't visit Reddit anymore, although I miss some communities, especially AskHistorians and AskScience. Otherwise, I can tolerate the teething problems of Lemmy (and kbin) in order to support a free internet. The latter is far more important, to me, than "better functionality"

It feels like people are genuinely excited to be part of the community, which is something I haven't felt from reddit in years. I really hope that's able to stick around in one form or another. The community makes the site fun. I don't think reddit has been "fun" for a while, it's just been a content-firehose to the face, and it's nice to not be drowned by it.

But also I'm bored and don't know what to do with the internet anymore lol

Trying to figure things out. I like it so far, just feels a little different. A little more sparse. Using the Jerboa app, which seems okay. I miss Boost, but I think the dev is working on a Lemmy version.

Decent so far, I do want a redditisfun type app for it, and it could use more people, but other than that good

Yeah the content isn't quite as niche yet, but I way prefer it

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

Leaving that toxic s-hole feels great. Reddits userbase had gone pretty horendous in the recent years and don't even get me started over the mods so I always begged for alternatives to be formed, I jumped ship the moment I found lemmy which is today.

I think it's really cool here. The people have been mostly friendly, the communities I'm following are decently active, and new features are being added every day. I honestly have very few complaints.

loving it so far aside from comments randomly disappearing after i submit them, but im assuming that bug will eventually be worked out. i miss the big card interface reddit switched to but im currently using a custom css that makes lemmy look like old.reddit.com (modified to be amoled black) and it feels great.

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 [email protected]. "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

I’m certainly enjoying it. As others have mentioned it’s a lot slower content wise and the smaller subreddits I was in aren’t here. Lots of niche content is missing, but things like news, politics, gaming, tech, security, are all here and doing fine.

Its great! I was on pleroma before and didn't even know Lemmy was a thing u til recently. Love federated social media.

Liking it so far. It feels a bit like the early days of the internet. You know the potential is there and can’t wait to see this grow.

I'm liking it so far, but a couple of things confuse me about the multiple instances thing.

I've made an account in lemmy.world and for the most part, have found my favorite communities are on the grow here.

However, I know there are other popular instances like lemmy.ml and such. Do our accounts not work cross compatible across the various lemmy instances?

I really like it, except I'm still constantly getting "network error" messages. Not sure if it's a Jerboa app glitch or if the networks are still incredibly overloaded.

For example, every comment I post will buffer for a bit then tell me there's a network error, as if my comment didn't get posted. But if I refresh the post, my comment shows up. It's going to happen this time, too.

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

Seems OK, hoping Sync for Lemmy client adds a bit more polish, most current clients seem unfinished or a bit janky in some ways.

Ultimately, it'll just take me time to adjust to the new way of things and more users/content.

The only way I'll be going back to reddit is if I can use Sync, and that definitely isn't happening so I'll have to adjust.

It's fine, but I don't enjoy having to deal with federation stuff. It's doable, but it's not intuitive, and everything is a bit too disorganized.

It’s decent, has a lot of room to grow though. I really miss the niche subreddits.
