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.
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.
Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
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?
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!
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
Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.
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.
Now that I've gotten used to the differences I'm enjoying it, fills a lot of the whole left by reddit. The only thing I'm missing is the scale of the user base making some of the more niche subreddits I used to spend the most time on not have a very active analog here
@alphapro784 I feel like I'm using it wrong. I only see replies in my feed, not the original question. Probably user error on my part. Just haven't had the time to explore it.
I miss some of the subs from reddit but I don't want to deal with their app.
I'm currently juggling 3 different apps to find one that works best for me (Jerboa, Connect, wefwef.app via Hermit, and excitedly waiting for Sync for Lemmy). I'm also experimenting with setting up my own instance to learn more about federation.
I love the principle/values of Lemmy, what it stands for, being part of a growing platform and learning about it. But when I'm just looking for mindless time-wasting content to kill boredom, I find myself missing the quality of experience, the communities, the level of engagement and diversity content from Reddit. Many subreddits I used to follow for "dumb" content simply don't exist on Lemmy, and I doubt it will gain inertia on Lemmy.
Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.
I miss Relay, my reddit app.
I'm enjoying the discovery phase a lot more than I did with Mastodon, which I've largely abandoned now. It still has a way to go but it's fun seeing it grow.
It is OK. Performance is a bit bumpy (expected) and communities are a lot quieter, but it is much much nicer here. Reddit is filled with absolute morons who scream SOURCE!!!!!! every time they see a joke or opinion which doesn't allign with their belief that children standing 8na. School yard deserved to die because they have the right to drive angiant car
I realy like it, but I miss RIF. I use Jerboa now, but might switch an app. RIF was realy usefull for not looking at stuff (loading it) for seccond time. I saw purple link and just skipoed the post, without needing to open it or to load the image again.
I am using one of the top iPhone apps, that is openly being feverishly upgraded, and wow do I still miss Apollo.
Lemmy is OK, just not a lot of niche subs yet. If there were more people active here it would be fine.
just joined and i’m happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.
