Was also a reddit lurker before joining lemmy. Itβs been pretty good so far! The only issue I had was that my first password was too long but it still let me make the account, so I couldnβt log in until I reset it to a shorter one. Other than that no issues other than thing occasionally taking a while to load. Loving the friendly community!

Still great as expected. Reddit screwing any mentions of migration or Lemmy will not last long as the EU might impose sanctions against the Snoosite

It's been nice, no complains but I'm just starting :)
I found it easy to join a server, subscribe to communities and post. I've also created a community that I'm passionate about and I'm trying to grow it.
I tried creating a server but failed big time, I'm a novice at that kind of stuff and didn't have the experience to know what I was doing wrong.
Takes some getting used to. But I love how the communities don't feel like an echo chamber.
I've enjoyed it so far! Still some communities I miss that were more active on Reddit but I'm sure as it grows that will change
Well, i've created account on sopuli.xyz,had some fun, and now it's unreachable.
Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.
Yeah, most likely. Also, admins of sopuli had a lot less resources than on this instance, so maybe that also payed it's role.
Especially the lemmy.ml part was kind of terrible, I got into some weird argument with Tiananmen Square massacre deniers and the mods started deleting my comments, so the whole discussion was meaningless and left me very worried for the future of this corner of the fediverse.
Yikes. Are there people like that in lemmy.ml? Ill need to keep an eye out then. Still not completely found my footing in all this yet. Might watch a video or read something to better understand all this soon.

It feels very exciting to be here! It's a lot more open and customizable than other social media. I really hope that this is a small glimpse of what the future of the internet could be.
I'm liking the platform, but it could use more niche subs. Doesn't matter what it is, I can always assume that there exists a subreddit for everything. I hope to see lemmy get there one day.
