Asklemmy

It's weird, a little quirky, and can be a unpredictable at times. It all adds to charm though and I love it.

Reminds me of early days Reddit with smaller communities and content. Reddit has more than a decade to build on its community, so naturally it has more content and more niche communities. But Lemmy doesn't have big cooperate influence like Reddit, so hopefully it can have more balance and unbias contents in the future.

i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick 'subscribe' button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.

generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.

glad to see two huge F1 communities though!

I don't know how it works, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it.

I'm trying to like Lemmy, but too small of a community, therefore, not enough activities.

A lot of my favorite subs aren't here.

Signing up for non tech savvy ppl is a complete disaster. Took me more than. 30-45 minutes of reading to get to signup. Most of the top Instances are closed for registration. Even if those that are open would take hours to confirm our signup.

Oh, if you go on Google, search Lemmy, it is on the top list. Even the related article is a Wiki. Lemmy needs to be less complicated, as in, everyone go sign in and get on it.

Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.

Reddit felt so damn simple to use where this is an absolute cluster fuck of complexity in comparison. It really needs to be simpler if there are hopes to take down reddit. Hopefully with boost and sync devs making a client things may improve.

I'm getting used to Lemmy, really enjoying my experience so far. I'm using the Jerboa app and it has honestly worked very well. Slowly discovering more communities to join. I think I'm here to stay (and mostly lurk)

Really miss Sync, but am living well enough with Connect until Sync for Lemmy is released.

I really love it. Even though I miss a few subreddits, Lemmy feels much like early Reddit, and it scratches an itch I've felt for many years.

I've been in Lemmy for a month now and I've never seen the need to come back to reddit at all. I like it here.

There are a handful of local/regional subs on Reddit that I'll miss. I typically scanned them for news and current events happening around me. Their analog communities have been created here but the population is still pretty meagre. Which is fine. It means that to make it interesting I'll actually have to participate more rather than just lurk.

Its great, every day more and more people are creating content and the quality of discussions is rich and contextual in most cases, back in reddit most of the times a huge chunk of the top comments where just reddit comedians making a low effort comment to try and gain upvotes.

One of the things I like about lemmy the most so far is the ability to view both a local All and the All with every instance there is, so if my local instance gets stale I can just look at whats happening on all instances!

For now it feels like a nicotine patch, but in a good way.

I like it so far. Everyone seems so helpful and nice. There isn't a ton of content here yet, but I know we're all working on it. Some of my niche interests have already had communities pop up since I've joined.

Currently, I'm using Connect. The UX is similar enough to Baconreader that I haven't had many issues with my transition. The future looks bright!

Made my account yesterday. I'd never heard of Lemmy so I decided to check it out. So far, it translated pretty well to what I was used to with reddit but it feels a lot like reddit did 12 years ago which is great. Also, there's NSFW posts on my feed! As soon as I saw that, I signed up so fast.

I don't know what the process is to create a community, but I have a few I want to try and bring to the table that may hopefully attract some quality users from subreddits i frequented. Audio production, magic the gathering, thunder basketball, etc.

Also, each and every comment I read from lemmy users feels...genuine? Like everyone has something to add instead of the same stale "this" comments. Overall, it's been great getting to know this website!

Drop in replacement for reddit far as I’m concerned

It definitely feels emptier, but I imagine that with time that will change. Still, I don't mind it, because that means that people here are generally more active.

I still miss some subs, but I know those will also come with time.

As of today, Connect loads the comments again, so I'm pretty stoked.

I like it as a social media and news source (maybe better than a social media tbh) but looks like I was using Reddit wrong before because I can count the times I surfed around r/all so I never was one of the more trendy guys (or what Reddit wants to be), I spent most of my time there in retro gaming communities, homelab, selfhosting, data hoarding, networking and alike, so in a nutshell more niche fields and sadly not all of those are highly active here (although the selfhost community and alike is! Who would have guessed haha).

It will take time to fill all the needs for the different users, but I really think this can evolve in a better place, and the new Meta app will bring more people to the Fediverse, for the better or the worse.

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!

Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
