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.

Jerboa is a pretty good app for Android. Can't wait for sync for lemmmy to come out though.

Loving it! The iPhone apps are still rough or buggy, but even in the few weeks I’ve been here, they’ve come a long way. I expect great things X

Also, the beans were a nice touch. I needed some good laughs.

I'm really unironically loving it. The range and depth of topics and discussions is growing by the day and it's a wonderful feeling to realise that these communities are, by design, safer from the clutches of Silicon Valley capitalists than they ever were on Reddit. I'll pitch in, I'll donate, shit I'll even try host stuff if needs be. I can contribute to this project and I find that immensely exciting.

I wish it hadn't taken me so long to realise what was going on here but I have only spez to thank for making me see the light. Attaboy, Steve.

I am using one of the top iPhone apps, that is openly being feverishly upgraded, and wow do I still miss Apollo.

Lemmy is OK, just not a lot of niche subs yet. If there were more people active here it would be fine.

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.

It's surprisingly good. I thought it would be more dead, but it actually makes for quite a nice replacement with plenty of content.

Loving it so far. Only joined today and looking forward to seeing this grow and more content.
