Asklemmy

Chiming in from kbin.social (isn't federation cool?)

I also tried Lemmy out, I found kbin's ui to a bit more to my liking but I plan on trying both for a bit

Enjoying it a lot. We just need more content over here. But I assume that is a problem that will solve itself very soon.

Just joined Lemmy, logged out of my reddit account last night. I'm done with reddit, they've fucked around for too long. 13 years on that site for them to absolutely fuck us.

I'm very much enjoying it here though, I can lurk (while still upvoting to ensure I participate), I can get a lot of the same stuff here. Less commentary, but that'll change as this place grows. Unless reddit cedes and spez fucks off, I doubt I'll go back. Thanks for accepting me Lemmy, y'all are dope.

I think it's great so far. I'm a reddit refugee who decided to leave that place when I couldn't use my third-party client (Sync). It feels all new in here and I really like it.

Something that I will call out is that I really appreciate the live changes in the thread on the website itself. Makes interacting with comments and everyone a lot easier.

Out of all the fediverse things, subreddits translate most well to instances, so it's less confusing than say mastadon, I'd say.

I wasn't a Reddit user really, so I might come from a different angle than others. I wasn't a big fan of Twitter but I liked Mastodon, so when I heard about Lemmy I figured I'd give it the same chance.

So far I'm liking it. Communities are active in most cases, and stuff works. Maybe not the most easy way when getting started, but it does work. For me that's generally fine, I'm a functionality over form person (as in, can I do it matters more than is it pretty and easy breasy). But I can see people's point in wanting a sleeker experience.

Mainly using Lemmy on phone, using Jerboa and again, it works fine. But also here, I never used Reddit so I'm not used to fancy clients yet.

I'm only worried about a few older communities that where inactive for years now coming back to life. Mainly the modding situation, as those mods might not come back to (at least) hand it over to new people, locking the place into a wild west. A way to hand over moderation in those cases where mods have been inactive for years could prove useful..

Like Mastodon, I'm getting used to the decentralized nature. Now that I found subscriptions and the option to change my view to subscriptions, things are easier. I'm just worried that topics are going to get big on disparate instances that aren't linked. But as I use it, I'm liking it.

For now it is nice to be outside corporate sanitation.

I like that it’s still so small. None of this karma farming just diluting from high quality content and conversations

One question I still have is how quickly posts and comments propagate across the Fediverse. How can I be sure the comment I'm writing actually shows up across other instances, and how long after I write it does it take on average to show up other places?

I like it, but the Android app (Jerboa) has some annoying bugs.

Former Reddit user here. It's a bit confusing but I'm holding up. I'm glad I found Kbin as it seems pretty user friendly compared to the various Lemmy instances. I'm excited for the future of both networks, and look forward to getting my head around it all a little better.

Honestly, I'm really enjoying it and no regrets on making the switch.

Initially took a few moments for the penny to drop with the regards to the different instances etc. But using the Jerboa app is not a million miles away from the app I used to use for Reddit (Boost).

Just incredibly glad to have an alternative.

@hllywluis Try kbin.social

Hello World! It's cool.

It works nicley for me but a lot of stuff could need QoL updates. Honestly my biggest concern is that this instance (lemmy.ml) will dominate everything else and host every good Community. From what I heard, the old guard on lemmy.ml has certain political believes that I don't share and I have a lot of negative expierence with this kind of people, back on reddit. A little concerned about powermods on lemmy.ml.

I'm not new since I was always aware of Lemmy but only seriously considering it right now due to the whole Reddit fiasco. I just hope that after the drama and migration dies down, people here stay friendly like how it is right now. Also, I hope the mass migration can start to attract mobile devs to contribute or fork existing projects like Jerboa or even come up with alternatives. I'm optimistic.
