MODERATORS
The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.
Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.
Reddit in desktop mode is better.
Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.

So far Lemmy is my new home! I like it here.
It's good. Apps help alot. Needs to be easier to find shit you like in app. Don't miss reddit. Also Rip Lemmy - 2015. What a great thing to be named after. Cheers
I think lemmy is the only viable reddit alternative for me, and since I don't plan on using reddit much anymore if at all. I'll be here. Most of my subs on reddit were smaller communties that I have not seen pop up yet on lemmy though. I hope they might appear soon, but I don't think some of them will ever be as active as they were there
Depends on how much Meta fucks it up, if at all.
I'm between here and Squabbles, but I am leaning heavily this way, since Wefwef removed some of the annoyances. Sync coming here guaranteed that I would be here eventually.
I'm liking it the more I use it and seeing the development of the platform is a nice experience.
The only “Reddit” feel Lemmy is missing is a mobile app that’s as good as Apollo, which I think will happen soon seeing so many app developments going on

So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.
Seems to be, I tried kbin and it's a wasteland, but no biggie because the big communities from there are already here. There's no other alternatives that I'm aware of.
4 weeks ago it was empty.
3 weeks ago it was a growing and a little rough to find content.
2 weeks ago it was filling in.
1 week ago it was silly (beans anyone?).
It is growing by leaps and bounds. The main thing missing now is the really good discussions in politics and news. But I think the trajectory is right and it will be the place to be.
I HAVE to stay here because I like mobile scrolling and I will never use the shitty Reddit app, so lemmy is staying as my Reddit replacement :)
I find it very strange how memes have become more popular than the gaming subs, I thought they would be equally bustling but they’re deathly quiet which is a shame so far.
Also missing SquaredCircle for wrestling happenings so I’ll quickly visit there on my PC, but certainly not interested in other Reddit crap.
Also got Tildes on the side for when I want some more stuff but there’s a lot off guff like sociology n stuff….sometimes you just need a meme or whatever. Glad to have a choice.
Literally just signed up. Don't quite get the instances thing I'll read about that tonight but right now I'm on world which I think is the 'big' one?
Either way liking it so far

Here since last night. It's been good, feels like Reddit from ten years ago.
Maybe? With revancing the RIF app i can still use my old app. This being said the protests have salted the earth in many placed i subscribed to. In other places there are more bots and spam then before. Lemmy is still a little weird for me. I barely got the hang of the federation in browser, app was too weird for me.
So ill just vagabond around for a while and see what i see.
I've been hearing a lot of buzz about Threads...
No, I'm here to stay I think. Reddit was the only social media I used, and this fills the need perfectly, in fact, in a lot of ways, better.
I want to like kbin, but mobile UI is just weird. If I tap on a picture, I want to see the picture, not the comment thread.
Gerboa gets me closest to the RIF experience, so that's where I'm at for now.
give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.
I tried communites.win and squiggles and some other stuff but they felt like reddit clones. This feels like its own platform and it feels like the future.
