Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

Loving it. Haven't been back to Reddit in days. Don't foresee that changing.

I'm loving hanging out with y'all.

Honestly, I like it here. I've started to migrate mid-June and I got involved way more than in 5y of reddit. I'm definitely not looking back.

I love it and created my own instance!!

I really like it, except I'm still constantly getting "network error" messages. Not sure if it's a Jerboa app glitch or if the networks are still incredibly overloaded.

For example, every comment I post will buffer for a bit then tell me there's a network error, as if my comment didn't get posted. But if I refresh the post, my comment shows up. It's going to happen this time, too.

So far it's good.I think over time it'll keep growing on me

It's fine but god dammit all the network effects and preexisting communities (Reddit has one for EVERYTHING) will all be gone now, through no fault of Lemmy

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 :)

I don't know how it works, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it.

I like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.

Getting better as more people are on onboarded

I've noticed that I come across the same posts more frequently on my front page here than on Reddit. Perhaps it would be solved as the userbase continues to grow. Other than that, I have no complaints. This platform is a perfect substitute for Reddit, if not better.

The biggest issue is discoverability. There's not federated way of linking to posts or comments and it's really hard to find the content that's there.

For example, if you subscribe to one of the bigger meme communities, your feed will be 95% memes and it drowns out everything else. But if you unsubscribe, you get 0% memes. So it's virtually impossible to get like ~20% memes.

The hot and active sortings, which should help you find worthwhile content are far too stable. They only push the same stuff over and over. Good new stuff often gets burried, because it doesn't have enough engagement to make it into hot/active which would provide engagement, while the stuff that's already there stays there.

Search is another big issue. On Reddit, if I read a post before, I could just search for it and find the post quite quickly. On Lemmy this hardly works at all.

Reddit's SEO is also really good, Lemmy's doesn't exist.

Other than that, it's a nice place. Discussions are civilized. I miss a lot of the more niche content, but maybe it will happen in the future.

I'm digging it so far. Nothing to complain about. Just being patient with it's growth. Great potential.

i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick 'subscribe' button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.

generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.

glad to see two huge F1 communities though!

It's a bunch of people chopping it up. I'm a fan. Mostly cause it's not apart of any economic system probly.

I prefer the smallish community size over the vast sea of opinion that is reddit.

It's weird, a little quirky, and can be a unpredictable at times. It all adds to charm though and I love it.
