Asklemmy

It’s great! I’m not banned here so I can participate.

Got banned from reddit last summer because I mocked someone’s plan to solve the housing crisis by vandalizing houses.

Loving it. Reminds me of the olden days of Reddit where the communities were smaller but everyone was contributing more.

The bugs and the issues help sell the fact that it's a smaller community so even those don't bother me so much.

I’m liking it! Scratches the same itch that Reddit did. Content doesn’t roll in as quickly from my subscriptions as it did on Reddit but I guess I’m into some niche-ish things and it’ll pick up steam eventually(?).

Noticing a lack of communities that cater to specific interests, like ones for specific video games. Most of the content I see is either porn or shitposting/memes. Hoping it continues to grow.

I like it. Unlike a lot of comments I see, I don't want hordes of people to come here from Reddit - I prefer to keep it smaller. Yes, it sucks that super niche communities are hard to get without tens of millions of people, but the drop in overall quality isn't worth it.

It’s buggy and flaky and wonderful. I can’t believe A) how quickly it’s grown over the past two weeks, and B) how great the communities seem to be. I’ve only asked one question so far but I got more and better answers than I would have on Reddit. I was feeling pretty down about the internet during the last week of June, but now I’m feeling hopeful.

Growing pains for sure. The power of reddit is it's ubiquity - communities on reddit can be very granular because the critical mass has been reached for it to still function. I dont want the homepage of reddit, the social network black hole of endless scrolling, I want conversations about things I can't discuss anywhere else. Home assistant yaml tips and the best builds in Path of Exile and whatnot. While I like the long-term implication a of lemmy, right now it's specicially the worst part of reddit.

I like it so far. I miss some of the communities that are either not yet present, or are not yet active enough on Lemmy, but I'm hopeful that things will fill out over time. I do hope we can get a good solution for video hosting that isn't relying on youtube, but I get that that is a tall order.

I’m enjoying it a lot, but I am concerned about it’s staying power. Systems like Lemmy need continual engagement and growth, and I worry about the complexity being a barrier to entry compared to other services like twitter or Reddit.

I use wefwef and it works basically like Apollo did. The entire lemmy site is a fairly good replacement for Reddit. There are some sections where there is no one, but hopefully with time that will fix itself.

I like it a lot. Obviously, content is lacking. But that is up to us to fix. The general fediverse capabilities are fantastic, but still a tad too confusing for newbies (from which communities can I see content, which communities can I see etc.) and take a while to figure out. Apps are already great. General UI is great as well.

I dig it. I lurked a few weeks before signing up. Feels freer, less stressful here so far. (Not for instance admins, I'm sure!) I miss some of the niche subs over there, but I'm adjusting. I've only tried wefwef and Liftoff so far, but will get around to giving more apps a shot, too. Using Firefox on mobile hasn't been bad either. As a creature of habit, I was a long time RIF user and imagine I'll eventually get attached to one for Lemmy.

Post and discussion volume isn't as high, but it's high enough to keep me happy

It's lovely. Haven't looked back. The only thing I've even thought about going to reddit for in the last three weeks has been the occasional technical answer that comes up in a Google search.

I hope that in time the fediverse will become the same sort of resource.

Unlike most I presume, I felt more forced off of Reddit. I found the official app unusable in comparison to RIF. My transition has been pretty good. Communities I browse have been fun and surprisingly a bit wholesome. In truth the only thing important I lost is the r/oneshot community. That has been a gut punch to me. But I can't give up just yet. I have to try to see if I can build a new home in Lemmy.

I've enjoyed my time here on Lemmy and am fully invested. It's helped me curb my reddit usage completely and I won't be going back.

It really feels like Reddit 10 years ago and I loved that. Rough edges and all.

It's getting better every day and more stable. I'm really grateful for all the effort people are putting in it and very happy here.

It's really good for tech, news, and memes - but anything related to sports or culture is pretty much non-existent. Sure sport news make it through into the NBA community for example, but no one is actually engaging - pretty much feels like an RSS reader in there.

Doesn't scratch the same itch yet. I have to cheat and go check out reddit every now and then.

honestly I just want boost for lemmy to come out sooner so I can mindlessly scroll lemmy instead of reddit, been figuring the place out just fine

Relatively little going on so I'm still gonna go back to reddit occasionally because for example on the software development side I've found the reddit communities really useful and they simply don't exist here.

Beyond this I'm determined to stick it out with lemmy. There are cute animal pics. There are memes and jokes. And a few other interests of mine are also reasonably active. It's almost enough to satisfy my desires for "doomscrolling" without being a total time trap. So that's nice.

Really glad to be here. I wish there were more people here to contribute to the comments and wish more apps supported the instance I joined. It's growing though. Those things will improve quickly.

I like it! More exposure, one or two good apps for Android/ iOS, and I'm sure it can be a better Reddit in a few months.

I miss some nicher subs, but I really appreciate it. It's a lot less janky than I expected, and it doesn't feel empty.

I was legitimately, saddened and upset when I heard that Apollo was going away and that I would never be able to use Reddit again I am actually quite pleased with Lemmy. I love it.

I like it a lot, but it has a lot of bugs that drive me crazy. Particularly with the Jerboa app, but also on the web. That's part of the early days for any software, though, especially one undergoing an explosion in its userbase. I'm happy to stick it out, and Lemmy is already a ~90% replacement for what reddit has been to me for the last 10+ years (feels weird to say that).

The only thing I miss is my smaller subs is that I really enjoyed for my specific interests. Hopefully they grow here. For general content I enjoy Lemmy much more

It definitely was a rough start. Mastodon was already a bit more mature and the app ecosystem was way more vibrant. However I discovered the wefwef PWA and since it’s almost an Apollo clone it feels like home.

I like it. Been spending a lot more time here than Reddit. That's for sure.
