Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.
I won't be going back to reddit.
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!
Loving in, and it gets better every day
Great but there’s some frustrations. My instance appears overloaded and often voting or commenting fails. I’m also using alpha software so it’s unstable. And the communities are much tinier and quieter.
I’m sure in a few weeks there will be some big improvements. Early mastodon was like this too.
I'm liking it a lot.
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.
I like it but definitely miss some of the more niche subreddits that I followed back on reddit, but hopefully those come over as Lemmy grows.
Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.
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?
Managed to make me post and comment at all, which is more than reddit has ever done to me. Literally made my account around an hour ago too.
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 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'm liking it so far. What I've seen so far seems like the lemmy community is much more giving and less toxic than reddit.
Good quality memes so far, content for specific communities such as games or sports is lacking
I'm loving it! I's similar enough to not be confusing but different enough to be an exciting change. Hoping the apps mature more, though.
I find it refreshing, for the most part. I've found that comments and replies are much more civil, I'm still getting used to the way users here disagree with actual reasoning while maintening respect for the other perspective. I had ads blocked before, but being absolutely ad free, without even the blank space where an ad would go is even better. The only downside is the amount of space dedicated to complaining about reddit. I don't wish to stop anyone from processing in whatever way they need, I just need to spend more time in my subscriptions instead of "all".
Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
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.
It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!
It has been fun so far. Just wishing more content eas here, but hopefully it'll increase with time.
I don't understand how I can find and subscribe two "subreddits".
So I use wefwef and used this link to find other communities: https://lemdit.com/post/18035
Hope this helps
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.
