Asklemmy

Currently I use Connect Lemmy for Android as with Jerboa there was a login issue when the server version wouldn't match. Not sure if this app is more resilient to this but it wasn't a good start. I couldn't use Lemmy properly for about a week or two. I also don't like that Lemmy is hard to search for new SubLemmy or search for results via Google. Before I just added "Reddit" to get the good results, I wonder how this will evolve if Lemmy gets bigger. Well and the whole kbing/Lemmy/mastodon link of the Fedyverse is really confusing for new people.

It's Much faster than reddit, no ads. it makes me think reddit should die at earliest

I’m not bad about it. Trying to contribute more and hopefully help this place grow!

I find all to be rather good, and don’t miss r/all that much. There are much less news which I miss. And then there are the niche communities that don’t really exist. I’m very hopeful though!

LOVING it!!!! It's very similar to reddit as far as content goes, but its better in the sense that im not being bombarded with rage bait!

I like it. The memes and entertainment are growing and good enough for me. But the knowledge base needs more input so that it can be used at some point as discussion forum for problems in different categories. Like the old Reddit were you could search if people had this problem and solved it etc etc.

I love it and created my own instance!!

Good so far. Communities here are less active and I am still using old.reddit.com for stuff that has no equivalent community here yet, but just gonna give it time and re-search for the missing stuff every so often to see if any of it has been added anywhere.

Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

It's a bunch of people chopping it up. I'm a fan. Mostly cause it's not apart of any economic system probly.

I prefer the smallish community size over the vast sea of opinion that is reddit.

Loving it. Haven't been back to Reddit in days. Don't foresee that changing.

I never used twitter, so i had no expectations when I used Mastodon.

I was a little hesitant with Lemmy since I use reddit so much. I'm liking it way more than I thought!

It's obviously less content, but as far ss my day-to-day use, i don't miss much. Hardest part was finding different communities to sub to, but there are enough directory sites around to help out with that.

I'm loving hanging out with y'all.

Honestly, I like it here. I've started to migrate mid-June and I got involved way more than in 5y of reddit. I'm definitely not looking back.

So far it's good.I think over time it'll keep growing on me

I like it a lot, but I do miss the multi-reddit feature, several communties in one feed. But so far, so good!

It's fine but god dammit all the network effects and preexisting communities (Reddit has one for EVERYTHING) will all be gone now, through no fault of Lemmy

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 :)

I'm digging it so far. Nothing to complain about. Just being patient with it's growth. Great potential.

I like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.

Getting better as more people are on onboarded

The biggest issue is discoverability. There's not federated way of linking to posts or comments and it's really hard to find the content that's there.

For example, if you subscribe to one of the bigger meme communities, your feed will be 95% memes and it drowns out everything else. But if you unsubscribe, you get 0% memes. So it's virtually impossible to get like ~20% memes.

The hot and active sortings, which should help you find worthwhile content are far too stable. They only push the same stuff over and over. Good new stuff often gets burried, because it doesn't have enough engagement to make it into hot/active which would provide engagement, while the stuff that's already there stays there.

Search is another big issue. On Reddit, if I read a post before, I could just search for it and find the post quite quickly. On Lemmy this hardly works at all.

Reddit's SEO is also really good, Lemmy's doesn't exist.

Other than that, it's a nice place. Discussions are civilized. I miss a lot of the more niche content, but maybe it will happen in the future.

r/NCD and various firearms related subreddits are all I miss from reddit.

Think it would be cool to start an instance dedicated to firearms where there's a general community and separate smaller communities dedicated to certain popular platforms or topics like r/longrange or r/ak47. If I take it upon myself to start this I'd try to keep it apolitical other than maybe a community dedicated to gun rights/control/policy discussion only.

I've noticed that I come across the same posts more frequently on my front page here than on Reddit. Perhaps it would be solved as the userbase continues to grow. Other than that, I have no complaints. This platform is a perfect substitute for Reddit, if not better.
