Ask Lemmy

There's a chance I'll move to kbin, although I have a community here. But in general, Lemmy makes a good Reddit replacement.

So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.

It was so hard to find and join this place, I think I'll hang for a while. I lurked on Kbin for a bit, but I hate the way they show images, especially on mobile browsers. I tried Mastadon first, but that was even more confusing.

Still not sure of lemmy Vs. Fediverse Vs. Threadiverse, whether the instance I joined is best for me, or if it even matters. On Reddit it was easy to lurk, then only one way to join, and easy to figure out. If someone figures out how to simplify using and joining their instance or universe or whatever, they have an opportunity to come out on top.

I hope it will be, and think it has the potential.

It has already replaced the "all" experience for me, and I automatically come here rather than Reddit. On the other hand, most of my engagement on reddit was with hobby/interest communities. Very few of the ones I visited on Reddit have made it across in an active way so far.

One unexpected thing is that I actually enjoy my specific instance and find myself browsing "Local" way more often than I expected.

I love it. It's fun to watch it grow too.

Yes it is. Tried Imgur for a while, but that place is… lost. Now with the Memmy App, I feel right at home here on Lemmy

I'm happy so far and I'm enjoying watching the community grow.

Actually I didn't think I'd move away from reddit but since I found lemmy I have to activelly think about going to reddit to read something there. Most of the communities I already found here and suprisingly, I'm not really missing the ones which I thought I'd miss.

I split my time between Lemmy and Tildes, Lemmy is the most Reddit-like, Tildes is more of a place for contemplation and I like it a lot, but when I feel like doomscrolling a la Reddit, I go to Lemmy.

Have a Tilde account now too, more users, but less active? Odd space...

I'll probably stick with Lemmy until another solution comes around that makes federation easier.

the recent giant performance boost for lemmy.world and the launch of the ios client Memmy on the app store makes lemmy so great rn

4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.

The sports stuff is pretty empty. Team specific (my teams) are mostly dead still. So I've been on the corresponding SB Nation blogs more than I had for a long time. Otherwise, just here.

The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.

Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.

Reddit in desktop mode is better.

Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.

I think lemmy is the only viable reddit alternative for me, and since I don't plan on using reddit much anymore if at all. I'll be here. Most of my subs on reddit were smaller communties that I have not seen pop up yet on lemmy though. I hope they might appear soon, but I don't think some of them will ever be as active as they were there

It's good. Apps help alot. Needs to be easier to find shit you like in app. Don't miss reddit. Also Rip Lemmy - 2015. What a great thing to be named after. Cheers

Seems to be, I tried kbin and it's a wasteland, but no biggie because the big communities from there are already here. There's no other alternatives that I'm aware of.

So far Lemmy is my new home! I like it here.

Literally just signed up. Don't quite get the instances thing I'll read about that tonight but right now I'm on world which I think is the 'big' one?

Either way liking it so far

Nope, for me also, Lemmy works fine!
