just joined and i’m happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.

It's good. It has the pre-Digg.com migration vibe that early Reddit had. Niche communities are hard to get started, but that's to be expected.

Lots of positivity.

It's good. You get accustomed to something, so there's still a little loss there, but this platform has a lot of promise and I appreciate all of you who make it what it is!

Is actually really nice, I like the separated servers. I can generally filter the amount of communities I see from just my interests, to my local server and then wider. One I found out I could search for and join communities I realized I could stay here

I'm enjoying the discovery phase a lot more than I did with Mastodon, which I've largely abandoned now. It still has a way to go but it's fun seeing it grow.

Quite well. It motivated me to build my own Lemmy client and it makes me enjoy Lemmy a lot more!

Noticing a lack of communities that cater to specific interests, like ones for specific video games. Most of the content I see is either porn or shitposting/memes. Hoping it continues to grow.

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.

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

Pretty good actually, android app is neat.

Lemmy is really good. It's not perfect, but obviously has great potential.

My only issue has been telling other people (in real life) about it, or convincing anyone to try it. The whole concept of the fediverse and related platfoms is too technical for the commoner to understand why it's so important in the first place.

As a former reddit sync app user, finding "liftoff" helped make the transition a smoother experience. I've been enjoying hunting for new communities to join and watching them grow.

Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?

I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)

Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)

Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.
