Asklemmy

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.

I've tried a few lemmy apps, but none of them (as far as I can tell) support swiping between posts

As in: you see a list of posts, click one to view, and after viewing: swipe from right to left to see the next post

Hopefully I'm wrong and someone can correct me!

It's good but it doesn't have all fixes for all problems yet like reddit had

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

Getting better as more people are on onboarded

With the improvements Ruud and team put into Lemmy.World, my experience has gotten infinitely better. Lemmy is completely satisfying my Reddit addiction, and Memmy is an incredible app to navigate it all.

Overall, I’m really happy I made the switch. Had a 12 year run on Reddit, but Lemmy proves that Spez is wrong about where the value lies. If the content is water, there are dozens of ways to move it to different places, and right now Reddit looks like a leaky bucket in comparison.

I’m really enjoying it and feel like it’s easier to reply here than in Reddit. I love seeing how fast it’s growing as well. People also seem nicer here - it feels less toxic.

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.

I just found out how to add more…instances? I want to call them subreddits but that’s not it lol but I like it, and so far I’ve curated enough for it to keep me interested while scrolling. I do understand that everyone is still getting their footing, I definitely am, so it won’t be perfect or exactly what I want. You really gotta take time to discover and explore the feddiverse, it seems quite big.

I think if we want this space to be a great reddit alt, we gotta put the effort in making it so!

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

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

Definitely nice to scroll through news and memes again without having to deal with twitters dumpsterfire. Still some comforts I'm used to are missing but it's early days and I only see it getting better from here.

Definitely not missing Reddit.

Loving in, and it gets better every day

Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.

I like it. I haven’t been back to Reddit since June 30th. It still has ways to go in terms of content and app availability. I am using Memmy and it is wonderful. Missing support for gifs (some work many don’t), albums, etc. great start.

I’ve really been liking it for the most part and hoping there’s a real app soon. After all the subreddit blackouts last month Reddit started to feel like the big, empty hollow worlds of some video games. That’s when I stopped using it.

I don't understand how I can find and subscribe two "subreddits".

I'd like to be able to group multiple subs into a mult-iLemmy that I can save to refer to. e.g I have multiple gaming subs I'd like to group into a single browsable page titled "games". Any way to do multi-subs?

High quality content makes my scrolling more enjoyable and less depressing.

BUT vastly smaller community means it's harder to get questions answered. Reddit was my goto for all kinds of things that I have now turned to ChatGPT for.

I see a lot of reposted content or no content changes because of lack of user activity unfortunately.

That's driving me to use my phone less though so that's a plus.

Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.

I won't be going back to reddit.
