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
Gerally it's decent.... I don't use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I'm not sorry to see the back of that place.
It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)
Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.
I won't be going back to reddit.
@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.
It's a little routh around the edges but I love seeing how instances are developing. Also the vibes seem to be more united here.
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 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.
I see a lot of reposted content or no content changes because of lack of user activity unfortunately.
That's driving me to use my phone less though so that's a plus.
Little bit on struggle bus. Looks like work blocks the instance I registered on so tried lemmy.world, but I guess I need a totally separate account to login to that? Seems a little fussy
Enjoying it so far I think. It's hard to say. Smaller, less content, some of the things I followed haven't made the jump(and I don't have enough time on my hands to help jump start them).
Been using my phone a lot less to doomscroll, and other nonsense so I'vr had more time to work on some hobby projects and such.
Overall though it feels like a good replacement.
just joined and i’m happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.
I like it but still dealing with a bit of a learning curve. I expected some glitches and slow downs so that hasn't really bothered me. Looking forward to watching the platform evolve and take shape as I learn more.
