Aside from the russian shills, fine and dandy.

Love it! Reddit was unusable to me with its crazy mods, so I mostly lurked. I also personally find lemmings to be more welcoming than redditors.

And I like to be somewhere closer to the start of the journey we're all making here on Lemmy even though it's been years since it was released. We're still early (but for real, unlike with creepto).

I had a great time here and did a great viral promotion campaign for the movie before the strike!

I guess the secret for a box office record is to organically promote the movie on Lemmy.

I'm like the George Takei of Lemmy, this is my turf now.

All in all Ok. There still some toxicity, not enough types of people to dilute some of the fringe or hardcore groups at times. Things like circlejerks seem to have more power outside of their own realm at times, anecdotally at least. Having to swap instances because DDoS or federation policy or the like and then having to reblock the same furry or anime or trans or random niche comic porn sites is a bit tiresome too. I get that the makeup of the users skews towards these groups and their supporters more, it's just taking more curation I guess.edit: and duplicate posts from multiple instances. Another thing I imagine will be resolved in future.

Those negatives aside it's been an interesting experience. I feel that I'm getting a broader sense of what's going on, things that would have been drowned out before now appear to get at least a decent chance if not equal billing in my feed. The new forums have been really good, a very wide range of topics and articles from all around and some properly interesting discussions going on.

It definitely feels more like the earlier internet days at times which can be good as well as bad. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops

It's pretty good actually, thanks for asking.

Its okay. But im happy to be rid of my reddit habit.

I personally was in for lemmy since the beginning, actually participated a bit building the first idea for another similar idea in 2018 to the fediverse, but I didn't have the capacity to participate more.

Now, I love that people seem to enjoy Lemmy and I'm excited for its growth!

I am liking it, community is friendly. I am slowly replacing my reddit addiction with lemmy. everyday I am finding new instances/communities to join. all in all, this journey so far has been exciting

I enjoy it so far. But I wish more stuff was tagged as NSFW and filtered out. Often I get girls in bikinis in my feed and I don't want to know about that. I've been banning endless communities from my feed but it seems new ones pop up daily.

Lemmy is great. Altho now it's full of Linus apologists so it sucks atm. Also Memmy is fantastic!

I really like it. Though, my experience massively increased after I switched away from a bigger instance.

The lemmy experience is so much better than reddit in one way: the Lemmy website on the phone just let's you use it, no more "This community is only available from the app" and have to use the desktop website, or the log in with Google pop up. I don't want to use the app, I don't want to log in on mobile.

It's good and bad. I miss most of the niche communities that I frequented on Reddit but on the other side I am commenting and interacting on Lemmy much more than reddit. It feels good to have some discussion. Hopefully the niche communities I miss will grow in time. Another good thing is that since Lemmy is much smaller than Reddit I'll run out of new content quickly and go do something else instead. So now I'm not mindlessly scrolling for ages. I am noticing that since this is such a small community with a very specific group of people that use it (left leaning/tech) that it generally has much less diverse content and memes compared to Reddit. This matters more on Lemmy since most of the content is focused on broad appealing things compared to Reddit which had bigger niche communities.

I still prefer it to Reddit. I think there was a noticeable increase in activity after Sync was released - unfortunately since then I have noticed more argumentative / defensive interactions. I guess that just goes with the territory though as more people join and become active, I wish people would just chill though. I feel like I'm having to deal with more children, but it's still nowhere near as bad as Reddit was.

I'm still missing the diversity of Reddit as I liked lurking in (and learning from) communities I would never come across in the real world, but I hope I will stumble across them in time as I'm sure they're out there.

The only thing I miss from reddit is the ability to use lemmy as a supplement to stack overflow. I still use teddit to occasionally find old posts on places like r/learnprogramming

I'm a junior web dev so I still benefit from old posts that answer basic questions, but I do wish I could just do a ddg lite search and be able to type in 'lemmy' and get the answer to my question.

Otherwise there's just certain subreddits I wish there was a corresponding community here on Lemmy like specific Indie Video Games. These are small issues and I hope Lemmy popularity grows. Not just for my personal wants, but just cuz I like decentralized alternatives as their simply more authentic imho.

It is like being in the early stages of reddit so liking it so far. I think i may start contributing since there isn't a ton of content yet

I totally replaced my Reddit usage with Lemmy. Jerboa is fine and I feel every time I want to spend some time I find something here to read. And I feel it's less useless than Reddit as well, with its nonsense ads and bots.

I mostly use Lemmy these days, especially after my preffered third party reddit app got ported over to Lemmy. I only use reddit for a few communities, Lemmy for everything else. I also only use reddit on desktop, never on mobile.

Honestly, I don't miss Reddit at all. I deleted my account over a month ago.

Voyager is just like Apollo, and it's been fun to try other apps as well. I also have accounts on kbin, Discuit, and Squabblr, but Squabblr is basically a dead platform at this point, and Discuit is yet another centralized platform so who knows if that one will last.

Lemmy's been my favorite of the bunch.

Overall, I do like it most of the time, but as of right now my biggest issue is the massive amount of downtime on Lemmy.world. How am I supposed to like it if I can't even use it?

Going better than I expected, especially now that we have so many capable clients like Sync. I don't miss Reddit at all, and I really like that there aren't any annoying posters like Schnoodle and his circlejerking fanbois, or the LTT fanclub in subs like r/pcmr who'd downvote anyone who criticizes LTT, or Windows fanbois who'd always downvote anything Linux related (I also like that there's a larger representation of Linux and OSS folks here which is awesome).

I spend like an hour here daily and I'm looking forward to see how much it grows.

Browsing Lemmy's front page has replaced reddit's r/all for me, usually checking top of 12 hours from all instances.

But I still use reddit for specific forums of certain things, because it's just the biggest community for the particular subject. I usually try to check if I can find the particular subject from Lemmy and check that out first though.

I'm more of a commenter/lurker and I quite rarely make new posts, but when I do make one:

• If it's a question about something I need help with, I'll start with a Lemmy post and then possibly also make one on Reddit - more readers, more answers.
• If it's just a shitpost/meme/"content", I only post it on Lemmy.

It's literally just reddit for me at this point, i use mlmym.org which gives me the old reddit interface so i barely notice even the slightest difference.

If people didn't make so many posts about drama in the fediverse i would have had no clue there were any problems.
