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

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 find it refreshing, for the most part. I've found that comments and replies are much more civil, I'm still getting used to the way users here disagree with actual reasoning while maintening respect for the other perspective. I had ads blocked before, but being absolutely ad free, without even the blank space where an ad would go is even better. The only downside is the amount of space dedicated to complaining about reddit. I don't wish to stop anyone from processing in whatever way they need, I just need to spend more time in my subscriptions instead of "all".

Iβve really been liking it for the most part and hoping thereβs a real app soon. After all the subreddit blackouts last month Reddit started to feel like the big, empty hollow worlds of some video games. Thatβs when I stopped using it.
I like it. I havenβt 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 donβt), albums, etc. great start.
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.
Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.
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.
Loving in, and it gets better every day
It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!
For the most part, there are maybe one or two subreddits I miss (ukrainianwar and wrexhamafc) and while I have found something for Ukraine, it's the quantity of content that was there. Beyond that, don't miss it at all, loving the vibe of lemmy, and glad I found a place to land. Oh and f$@% spez

Fairly good!
For all its downsides, federation allows for the creation of very cozy communities. I love the feature that you can switch between browsing federated and local subs.
There could be more content of course, but it's not a matter of Lemmy and I, too, feel like I want to invest more in local community than on Reddit.
Keep it up!
Little bit on struggle bus. Looks like work blocks the instance I registered on so tried lemmy.world, but I guess I need a totally separate account to login to that? Seems a little fussy
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.
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 realy like it, but I miss RIF. I use Jerboa now, but might switch an app. RIF was realy usefull for not looking at stuff (loading it) for seccond time. I saw purple link and just skipoed the post, without needing to open it or to load the image again.
I miss Relay, my reddit app.
I'm liking it a lot.
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.
Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
