I never used twitter, so i had no expectations when I used Mastodon.
I was a little hesitant with Lemmy since I use reddit so much. I'm liking it way more than I thought!
It's obviously less content, but as far ss my day-to-day use, i don't miss much. Hardest part was finding different communities to sub to, but there are enough directory sites around to help out with that.
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.
It's fine but god dammit all the network effects and preexisting communities (Reddit has one for EVERYTHING) will all be gone now, through no fault of Lemmy
Liking it so far. It feels a bit like the early days of the internet. You know the potential is there and canβt wait to see this grow.
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.
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.
It's great! Though I'm missing some niche communities. And some good apps.
I love it and created my own instance!!
Yeah the content isn't quite as niche yet, but I way prefer it
I haven't been able to find an answer for this, so here goes... How many accounts on different instances does everyone have?
I have three and have started subscribing to different stuff to try and curate my experience (I'm missing multi-reddits), but I'm not sure what's the optimal experience as my all timelines often show very similar content on each account
Just one. I don't see a need to have any more then that yet. As long as the communities I like are federated, my one account can interact with all of them.
It feels like people are genuinely excited to be part of the community, which is something I haven't felt from reddit in years. I really hope that's able to stick around in one form or another. The community makes the site fun. I don't think reddit has been "fun" for a while, it's just been a content-firehose to the face, and it's nice to not be drowned by it.
But also I'm bored and don't know what to do with the internet anymore lol
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 :)
Not gonna lie it was really confusing to begin with, even with a guide. Partially because I dropped by kbin first.
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!
Managed to make me post and comment at all, which is more than reddit has ever done to me. Literally made my account around an hour ago too.
I miss Relay, my reddit app.
Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.

Good quality memes so far, content for specific communities such as games or sports is lacking
