It's my first full day on Lemmy and I'm liking it a lot so far. It's definitely smaller than reddit but it feels more personal this way. I'm sure that will change after the exodus that will be happening over there soon.

My main lemmy instance went down, and I had to go to three because so many people are creating accounts. So bad; but, for a good reason.
Still great as expected. Reddit screwing any mentions of migration or Lemmy will not last long as the EU might impose sanctions against the Snoosite

Its a double edged sword, a lot of the communities are small and do not have regular posts. A few I joined are effectively dead ATM; the flipside is I do find the comments and conversations to be more engaging with less of the toxicity of Reddit.
So far it's been good! Lemmy has made me hopeful for better social media. I'm not hugely into twitter-style social media so I was never really able to appreciate Mastadon.
I'm actually quite surprised with how much content is here already. There are regular posts and conversations, and a good mix of content. It's not at the level reddit is in terms of volume, but I don't feel starved or anything. I look forward to the future here!
So far so good! Is there any mobile apps available though? That is 90% of my reddit browsing.

So far I don't quite understand how everything works. I am confident I will figure it out though
Liking it so far. Found some great communities and have enjoyed it. :)
Longtime Rif user posting from Jerboa. Seems pretty cool so far. The issue I've seen is some upvotes and comments not showing when viewed from a different instance.

Just joined and other than the app being kinda slow I can get used to this.
