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.

I'm loving it, here is my slogan. "When life gives you lemons, make Lemmy-ade"

It keeps crashing and not loading stuff correctly and giving me lots of hang time.

A lot like Reddit around the time I left Digg

[-] SulaymanF@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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 was able to join Lemmy fairly easily at first. Then the updates happened on Lemmy World. Was almost about to give up because I was kind of made to log off then I couldn't log back in for the life of me.

Knew I had to be patient, but at one point I got so frustrated I just deleted the whole thing.

Downloaded it again a couple of days later and all was good. All sorted. Still learning though.

[-] DeaLikesTrains@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Usernameblankface@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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".

Still learning how to use it, but so far i like it. I wish to find an app that would use less mobile data tho, RIF was nice and light, but Connect atleast feels like good ol' RIF.

I don't understand how I can find and subscribe two "subreddits".

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.

[-] mr_sparkle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Wizza@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Fishe_stix@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.

[-] meantfornothing@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Good quality memes so far, content for specific communities such as games or sports is lacking

[-] klinefgc@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

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!

[-] InigoMontoyota@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

For the most part, there are maybe one or two subreddits I miss (ukrainianwar and wrexhamafc) and while I have found something for Ukraine, it's the quantity of content that was there. Beyond that, don't miss it at all, loving the vibe of lemmy, and glad I found a place to land. Oh and f$@% spez

I find the idea of instances and being able to have a home instance while seeing others so great. It's like IRC with a server of choice and channels, but I even have the opportunity to see other servers, so it's a fun idea to me. Also Lemmy users are so nice! You're the best, and it must be a bit awkward for so many Reddit folk to very suddenly arrive.

[-] KarmaBeatch@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.

[-] SamuelM@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] HelterSkeletor@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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?

[-] Bebo@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

I am enjoying out here. There are a lot of interesting posts and good discussion. However almost 80% of subs I am subscribed to on reddit are not here because they are niche subs. So now my browsing is divided between reddit and lemmy.
