Asklemmy

I like it. Unlike a lot of comments I see, I don't want hordes of people to come here from Reddit - I prefer to keep it smaller. Yes, it sucks that super niche communities are hard to get without tens of millions of people, but the drop in overall quality isn't worth it.

Loving it. Reminds me of the olden days of Reddit where the communities were smaller but everyone was contributing more.

The bugs and the issues help sell the fact that it's a smaller community so even those don't bother me so much.

It’s great! I’m not banned here so I can participate.

Got banned from reddit last summer because I mocked someone’s plan to solve the housing crisis by vandalizing houses.

I like it so far. I miss some of the communities that are either not yet present, or are not yet active enough on Lemmy, but I'm hopeful that things will fill out over time. I do hope we can get a good solution for video hosting that isn't relying on youtube, but I get that that is a tall order.

I’m liking it! Scratches the same itch that Reddit did. Content doesn’t roll in as quickly from my subscriptions as it did on Reddit but I guess I’m into some niche-ish things and it’ll pick up steam eventually(?).

I feel like the considerate people who are able to act like adults are the majority here, and it feels really nice. Thank you all.

It's getting better every day and more stable. I'm really grateful for all the effort people are putting in it and very happy here.

I've enjoyed my time here on Lemmy and am fully invested. It's helped me curb my reddit usage completely and I won't be going back.

It really feels like Reddit 10 years ago and I loved that. Rough edges and all.

It's lovely. Haven't looked back. The only thing I've even thought about going to reddit for in the last three weeks has been the occasional technical answer that comes up in a Google search.

I hope that in time the fediverse will become the same sort of resource.

Noticing a lack of communities that cater to specific interests, like ones for specific video games. Most of the content I see is either porn or shitposting/memes. Hoping it continues to grow.

I’m enjoying it a lot, but I am concerned about it’s staying power. Systems like Lemmy need continual engagement and growth, and I worry about the complexity being a barrier to entry compared to other services like twitter or Reddit.

I use wefwef and it works basically like Apollo did. The entire lemmy site is a fairly good replacement for Reddit. There are some sections where there is no one, but hopefully with time that will fix itself.

Relatively little going on so I'm still gonna go back to reddit occasionally because for example on the software development side I've found the reddit communities really useful and they simply don't exist here.

Beyond this I'm determined to stick it out with lemmy. There are cute animal pics. There are memes and jokes. And a few other interests of mine are also reasonably active. It's almost enough to satisfy my desires for "doomscrolling" without being a total time trap. So that's nice.

I like it a lot. Obviously, content is lacking. But that is up to us to fix. The general fediverse capabilities are fantastic, but still a tad too confusing for newbies (from which communities can I see content, which communities can I see etc.) and take a while to figure out. Apps are already great. General UI is great as well.

Post and discussion volume isn't as high, but it's high enough to keep me happy

Unlike most I presume, I felt more forced off of Reddit. I found the official app unusable in comparison to RIF. My transition has been pretty good. Communities I browse have been fun and surprisingly a bit wholesome. In truth the only thing important I lost is the r/oneshot community. That has been a gut punch to me. But I can't give up just yet. I have to try to see if I can build a new home in Lemmy.

I dig it. I lurked a few weeks before signing up. Feels freer, less stressful here so far. (Not for instance admins, I'm sure!) I miss some of the niche subs over there, but I'm adjusting. I've only tried wefwef and Liftoff so far, but will get around to giving more apps a shot, too. Using Firefox on mobile hasn't been bad either. As a creature of habit, I was a long time RIF user and imagine I'll eventually get attached to one for Lemmy.

honestly I just want boost for lemmy to come out sooner so I can mindlessly scroll lemmy instead of reddit, been figuring the place out just fine

Tbh not sure why I didn't join sooner. I really like the idea of Lemmy. I'm exited to see more communities come in and grow the platform. Would love to see more voices and perspectives, but I also kind of like the tiny bit of barrier to entry. If someone goes through the process of joining an instance and figuring out how all of this works then it means they really want to be here and they have some sense about them to get here. I really hope Lemmy flourishes and it's not a bubble because of Reddit.

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

Really glad to be here. I wish there were more people here to contribute to the comments and wish more apps supported the instance I joined. It's growing though. Those things will improve quickly.

I prefer Lemmy's content/userbase, but there's less of it. Which is fine with me. The bugs could use some ironing tho.

I like it! More exposure, one or two good apps for Android/ iOS, and I'm sure it can be a better Reddit in a few months.

I'm really liking it. It's still missing a few of my old reddit communities but feels very much like reddit used to, it at least feels like I'm getting my fix. I'm using Connect to navigate Lemmy and it reminds me a little of my dear old Baconreader.

I like it more than reddit honestly. We've already expanded into a space 3x the size of what we have on reddit, although there are far less people and a lot of those communities will disappear. Honestly an architecture mistake that reddit only allowed one subreddit per topic instead of entire an entire reddit instance dedicated to one thing.

I love it so far. I've been a huge supporter for decentralization for a while now through blockchain tech so it's great to see so many people finally seeing what makes decentralization as a concept so great.

I just hope the apps keep developing at the speed they are because they are the part that is lacking the most right now. The experience is significantly better on PC right now. Even simple things like finding new communities is difficult on the apps I've tried so far.

Doesn't scratch the same itch yet. I have to cheat and go check out reddit every now and then.

It's really good for tech, news, and memes - but anything related to sports or culture is pretty much non-existent. Sure sport news make it through into the NBA community for example, but no one is actually engaging - pretty much feels like an RSS reader in there.
