Asklemmy

Pretty damn confusing. So far I’m not liking it. I can’t find the type of subs I followed on Reddit and yeah idk man

It's a little routh around the edges but I love seeing how instances are developing. Also the vibes seem to be more united here.

Really good at the moment. I think i will enjoy a better lemmy when Boost will be out, just because i'm better in touch with that app for years now. Not that wefwef is bad, im also surprised for the recent updates it has got. The only things i really miss are a larger MTG community and the "Random NSFW" lol

I'm loving it, here is my slogan. "When life gives you lemons, make Lemmy-ade"

It's great! Though I'm missing some niche communities. And some good apps.

It keeps crashing and not loading stuff correctly and giving me lots of hang time.

A lot like Reddit around the time I left Digg

I was able to join Lemmy fairly easily at first. Then the updates happened on Lemmy World. Was almost about to give up because I was kind of made to log off then I couldn't log back in for the life of me.

Knew I had to be patient, but at one point I got so frustrated I just deleted the whole thing.

Downloaded it again a couple of days later and all was good. All sorted. Still learning though.

I'm liking it a lot.

do birds fly? do ducks duck?

Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.

I find the idea of instances and being able to have a home instance while seeing others so great. It's like IRC with a server of choice and channels, but I even have the opportunity to see other servers, so it's a fun idea to me. Also Lemmy users are so nice! You're the best, and it must be a bit awkward for so many Reddit folk to very suddenly arrive.

I love it and created my own instance!!

I am enjoying out here. There are a lot of interesting posts and good discussion. However almost 80% of subs I am subscribed to on reddit are not here because they are niche subs. So now my browsing is divided between reddit and lemmy.

Gerally it's decent.... I don't use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I'm not sorry to see the back of that place.

It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)

I'm currently juggling 3 different apps to find one that works best for me (Jerboa, Connect, wefwef.app via Hermit, and excitedly waiting for Sync for Lemmy). I'm also experimenting with setting up my own instance to learn more about federation.

I love the principle/values of Lemmy, what it stands for, being part of a growing platform and learning about it. But when I'm just looking for mindless time-wasting content to kill boredom, I find myself missing the quality of experience, the communities, the level of engagement and diversity content from Reddit. Many subreddits I used to follow for "dumb" content simply don't exist on Lemmy, and I doubt it will gain inertia on Lemmy.

Definitely nice to scroll through news and memes again without having to deal with twitters dumpsterfire. Still some comforts I'm used to are missing but it's early days and I only see it getting better from here.

Definitely not missing Reddit.

Started out bumpy and the servers couldn't handle all the new traffic. Vast improvements over the last few days. So much so that I went ahead and deleted my reddit account today. Not looking back.

I'm honest, I still don't get the universe concept. I am going on the site via feddit, which is the German version, I guess? If I want to see everything, I need to go to lemmy.world? If I get an app for it, what would it route me to?

It should be fine after a while if people stay here, but for now it's still in its infancy when it comes to user friendliness, I think.

I really like it, except I'm still constantly getting "network error" messages. Not sure if it's a Jerboa app glitch or if the networks are still incredibly overloaded.

For example, every comment I post will buffer for a bit then tell me there's a network error, as if my comment didn't get posted. But if I refresh the post, my comment shows up. It's going to happen this time, too.

Now that I've gotten used to the differences I'm enjoying it, fills a lot of the whole left by reddit. The only thing I'm missing is the scale of the user base making some of the more niche subreddits I used to spend the most time on not have a very active analog here

Loving it except for a handful of bugs that I expect to be fixed in the next release :)

It feels good to start fresh with a new set of community subscriptions. Some of them I've subscribed based on the topic before they've had significant traffic, but we'll see what happens!

It also seems some communities that have been copied from reddit (by name) have multiple competing instances. I expect some community wars and perhaps mergers to occur in the future. Exciting!

On reddit, just about any comment made after 12:00 EST would very rarely get more than a few upvotes

So far in Lemmy I feel like my posts get better reach and interaction, which makes it feel like a better social environment.

Android's Connect for Lemmy is buggy as fuck. I get errors just about every other thread. Open to other recommendations for a Lemmy app.

Following instances is kind of confusing.

Is there nsfw content?

It's okay. I miss reddit, but it's clear how steep a cliff they're slipping off of.

So far, 6/10. Needs dramatic improvement. There are some nice differences, and overall I can see how it could eventually fill the void. Eventually. Want to re-emphasize that it needs a lot of work.

I'm liking it so far. What I've seen so far seems like the lemmy community is much more giving and less toxic than reddit.

Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.

I'm a cat and currently I'm loafing in a corner of the room on my own cushion.

Translation: I am enjoying the peaceful moment looking at people doing their things here.
