Asklemmy

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.

#LemmyRules

My biggest pain point right now is the bugs. I tried posting a rather long reply to something and got a "Beehaw is down for maintenance" message. I'm not sure if it was the instance or my app (Connect), but I ended up losing the post.

Having said that, I really am enjoying my time here. People seem nice and welcoming, and engagement is good. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress.

I was legitimately, saddened and upset when I heard that Apollo was going away and that I would never be able to use Reddit again I am actually quite pleased with Lemmy. I love it.

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

For now it feels like a nicotine patch, but in a good way.

Made my account yesterday. I'd never heard of Lemmy so I decided to check it out. So far, it translated pretty well to what I was used to with reddit but it feels a lot like reddit did 12 years ago which is great. Also, there's NSFW posts on my feed! As soon as I saw that, I signed up so fast.

I don't know what the process is to create a community, but I have a few I want to try and bring to the table that may hopefully attract some quality users from subreddits i frequented. Audio production, magic the gathering, thunder basketball, etc.

Also, each and every comment I read from lemmy users feels...genuine? Like everyone has something to add instead of the same stale "this" comments. Overall, it's been great getting to know this website!

I dig it. I lurked a few weeks before signing up. Feels freer, less stressful here so far. (Not for instance admins, I'm sure!) I miss some of the niche subs over there, but I'm adjusting. I've only tried wefwef and Liftoff so far, but will get around to giving more apps a shot, too. Using Firefox on mobile hasn't been bad either. As a creature of habit, I was a long time RIF user and imagine I'll eventually get attached to one for Lemmy.

Good so far. Communities here are less active and I am still using old.reddit.com for stuff that has no equivalent community here yet, but just gonna give it time and re-search for the missing stuff every so often to see if any of it has been added anywhere.

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.

Hey there!

I just wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on Lemmy, and let me assure you, I'm not a robot, just a fellow human appreciating this amazing platform.

One of the things I absolutely love about Lemmy is its federated nature. It's incredible how Lemmy enables users to create and host their own instances while still being interconnected with the broader Lemmyverse. This decentralization allows for a diverse range of communities and perspectives to thrive, fostering a truly democratic and open environment.

I also appreciate the emphasis on privacy and user control. Lemmy respects users' data and privacy by not collecting personal information or tracking their activities. It's refreshing to be part of a platform that puts the power back in the hands of the users.

Furthermore, the community-driven nature of Lemmy is truly remarkable. Users can actively participate in shaping the platform by contributing to its development, suggesting new features, and engaging in meaningful discussions. It feels like a collaborative journey where everyone's voice matters.

Lastly, the open-source nature of Lemmy is a game-changer. It allows for transparency, innovation, and community involvement in the development process. The ability to explore the source code, contribute improvements, or even host a personal instance adds another layer of empowerment to the users.

In summary, Lemmy offers a unique and refreshing experience in the world of online communities. Its federated approach, emphasis on privacy, community-driven nature, and open-source philosophy make it a platform worth celebrating.

So, join me in embracing this incredible space where real humans come together to connect, share ideas, and build a thriving community!

I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche "Communities" (as Lemmy generically calls them).

I need my subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I'll probably fully abandon Reddit.

It's not bad! UI could use a few tweaks on Mobile though.

Enjoying it so far. It is definitely taking some getting used to. Was testing Liftoff! And now on Memmy. Finding Memmy to be more enjoyable especially with being able to set dark for ease of visibility.

I like Lemmy for the more serious conversations. Still think it’s missing a lot of “casual” communities but that’s something that hopefully comes later.

LOVING it!!!! It's very similar to reddit as far as content goes, but its better in the sense that im not being bombarded with rage bait!
