Asklemmy

I'm glad Star Trek came over. Really hoped for some Stellaris and Xcom, maybe eventually.

I enjoy it so far, but I am noticing that the userbase is currently a lot smaller and thus there are fewer posts and comments. Also, the niche interests are very thinly represented. For instance, I enjoyed following the valheim subreddit to get up to speed with updates and see fun creations. Lemmy has basically no community for valheim. The same goes for other narrow subjects. I expect this to grow along with the popularity of Lemmy, but it's currently a bit shallow.

For an "early adopter" it is amazing so far. I see a lot of potential, more-so with Lemmy than other federated platforms. I thought I would just use Lemmy on mobile to replace Reddit since I refuse to download their app. Instead, it unintentionally replaced Reddit almost entirely for me. Just missing some small niche communities that I can't find anywhere but reddit

Really miss Sync, but am living well enough with Connect until Sync for Lemmy is released.

I really love it. Even though I miss a few subreddits, Lemmy feels much like early Reddit, and it scratches an itch I've felt for many years.

Out of habit, I log into reddit periodically if only to complete a conversation I was having there, but the official app is just so bad that I quickly log off.

Jerboa doesn't work with a few of the servers I use (minimum version not in place yet) but I like it better than connect. I wish connect would remember my current filter/view settings when I chose/open it.

Hoping that as more apps come online all that will work itself out though.

Content is still lacking. I hope it picks up, but I think things are perhaps too fragmented between kbin and lemmy type instances for things to fully take off. Hope I'm wrong though.

I worry about how things will look if it really does grow as a ecosystem - if various lemmy communities become the 'go to' place to be, spam and trolls will soon follow, and moderation will become a growing concern. Maybe that's the same as in reddit-land. Not sure.

This is a hugely significant week in the world of social media upheaval (Twitter with another catastrophic goal on its own net and Meta capitalizing, and Reddit completely mishandling its policy shifts). It is quite a thing to witness.

I find all to be rather good, and don’t miss r/all that much. There are much less news which I miss. And then there are the niche communities that don’t really exist. I’m very hopeful though!

6 of my most lurked subreddits have no equivalent over here. I have no hope as they are niche and it will take a lot of momentum for them to migrate over here

I’m really enjoying it and feel like it’s easier to reply here than in Reddit. I love seeing how fast it’s growing as well. People also seem nicer here - it feels less toxic.

I think just like most people's experiences. It does what I need it to. We just need people and participation.

Less active just due to lower user population but great vibe nonetheless.

I'm waiting to see when things go back to normal in a sense of just regular content and not reddit migration stuff, so far it's not much different, let's see how it goes.

Loving in, and it gets better every day

Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.

I'd like to be able to group multiple subs into a mult-iLemmy that I can save to refer to. e.g I have multiple gaming subs I'd like to group into a single browsable page titled "games". Any way to do multi-subs?

I see a lot of reposted content or no content changes because of lack of user activity unfortunately.

That's driving me to use my phone less though so that's a plus.

Just fine. Spent last week editing all my comments with PDS. On Monday, I deleted my account and I'm only here so far.

Social media in general has been shit. Not that they ever were very good, but it seems to be worse.

Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.

I won't be going back to reddit.

Frankly, it's not doing much for me. I feel like the population here is looks like an IT team. Overwhelmingly male, largely white, largely het and cis. I've realized one of the things I liked about reddit was how much diversity of people there was.

Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.

In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.

Im enjoying it so far, i think ive figured most of it out, got myself on a nice smaller local instance and everything is loading properly, and im consuming the information.

Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.

I like it. I haven’t been back to Reddit since June 30th. It still has ways to go in terms of content and app availability. I am using Memmy and it is wonderful. Missing support for gifs (some work many don’t), albums, etc. great start.

I just found out how to add more…instances? I want to call them subreddits but that’s not it lol but I like it, and so far I’ve curated enough for it to keep me interested while scrolling. I do understand that everyone is still getting their footing, I definitely am, so it won’t be perfect or exactly what I want. You really gotta take time to discover and explore the feddiverse, it seems quite big.

I think if we want this space to be a great reddit alt, we gotta put the effort in making it so!
