Asklemmy

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

I like it. It definitely feeds my bored and feel like reading habit. I do wish there were more specific communities that I used to subscribe to. It has promise and feels cool getting in on something early on too.

I like it more than reddit honestly. We've already expanded into a space 3x the size of what we have on reddit, although there are far less people and a lot of those communities will disappear. Honestly an architecture mistake that reddit only allowed one subreddit per topic instead of entire an entire reddit instance dedicated to one thing.

I love it so far. I've been a huge supporter for decentralization for a while now through blockchain tech so it's great to see so many people finally seeing what makes decentralization as a concept so great.

I just hope the apps keep developing at the speed they are because they are the part that is lacking the most right now. The experience is significantly better on PC right now. Even simple things like finding new communities is difficult on the apps I've tried so far.

I’m enjoying the beans.

Tbh not sure why I didn't join sooner. I really like the idea of Lemmy. I'm exited to see more communities come in and grow the platform. Would love to see more voices and perspectives, but I also kind of like the tiny bit of barrier to entry. If someone goes through the process of joining an instance and figuring out how all of this works then it means they really want to be here and they have some sense about them to get here. I really hope Lemmy flourishes and it's not a bubble because of Reddit.

Less active just due to lower user population but great vibe nonetheless.

It's better than I expected tbh, the app I use is Jerboa (it's suspiciously similar to boost, I'm waiting for Ruben [the dev] to publish boost for lemmy)

Everything is done right to ensure an open platform and that another redditpocalypse doesn't happens, the only thing that concerns me is that if I choose lemmy.world, I'll miss on other things, I just need all my tech related and videogames (and blender) subreddits to migrate so I fully leave reddit.

Also, I think I got a good username

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.

So far so good. The main reason I bailed on Reddit was the loss of RiF. I hardly ever used desktop. I'm using Connect for Lemmy and I'm still getting used to it, but it seems like a decent enough replacement.

I miss the niche subs I used to follow

I'm really liking it. It's still missing a few of my old reddit communities but feels very much like reddit used to, it at least feels like I'm getting my fix. I'm using Connect to navigate Lemmy and it reminds me a little of my dear old Baconreader.

Liking it so far. It's like stepping into another reality (or instance? am I doing this correctly) where people are just decent and not all the time spiteful. It's such a breath of fresh air. I kinda feel more at ease here. I noticed that I have shared more of my feelings here than the long time I spent on rexxit. Maybe it's cuz I share the same experience with my co-refugees. Maybe it's also the upvotes that makes me feel that people are actually reading lol

I like it most because I can't and don't feel the need to doom scroll. I just check in every once in a while during the day and post here and there and upvote bunches of posts and comments and then I am out. Plus I don't feel that my comments will be attacked and downvoted for no good reason.

Creating an account was hell. Between making requests, confirmations going to my spam folder, and the system just straight up not working it was super unfun. Not a huge fan of the UI either. I basically just want old.reddit back. Oh well, hopefully Sync for Lemmy makes it more palatable.

It’s being ok, specially after I found Wefwef (love it, but needs a better name).

But about content, I still miss a lot of the subs I was subscribed to (Oddly satisfying, TechnicalPrint, and many other specific ones). But I know that it’s only a matter of time.

Voting and posting is a bit annoying because servers are overwhelmed but I totally understand it and can wait, no problem.

Trying to figure things out. I like it so far, just feels a little different. A little more sparse. Using the Jerboa app, which seems okay. I miss Boost, but I think the dev is working on a Lemmy version.

Honestly, I'm kind of hating it... everything feels like it is in the wrong place, everything has just enough friction in interacting with Lemmy to irritate me as I try and get realigned, and nothing feels like it is at my fingertips. The signup process alone was adamant that it was incredibly straightforward and that instances don't matter... but is also very variable based on the instance you choose... I had to wait until morning because my instance's email verification didn't work and had to be done manually. Then when I look to turn on 2FA, it just doesn't work at all, very unappealing.

Maybe once Boost for Lemmy is out, that will have some quality of life, but currently I am not actively liking anything about Lemmy at all, beside just the basic principle of it.

I love that it exists. I don't visit Reddit anymore, although I miss some communities, especially AskHistorians and AskScience. Otherwise, I can tolerate the teething problems of Lemmy (and kbin) in order to support a free internet. The latter is far more important, to me, than "better functionality"

I like it and I’m optimistic that it will only continue to grow and get better. I also really like the fediverse as a concept. It feels more like the old internet, where you had lots of smaller communities, rather than everything centralized into one huge space.

I still don't know what instance to use or if it matters. But I like it, the community is similar enough to reedits. I'm looking forward to using Sync for lemmy though. I miss sync for reddit lol

No more beans, please.

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

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've been spending more time here than reddit since they killed 3rd party apps. I'm liking it so far

It's complicated enough the masses won't come. But easy enough to not be a pain in the ass.

Still not as comprehensive etc but you can see it growing.

Everyone's nice and there activity, but I miss some subs. I could make them them all, but creating content for all of them would be too much work... I already do that outside reddit/lemmy. 😣

Leaving that toxic s-hole feels great. Reddits userbase had gone pretty horendous in the recent years and don't even get me started over the mods so I always begged for alternatives to be formed, I jumped ship the moment I found lemmy which is today.

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
