I’m loving it too- I miss a lot of subreddits and the sheer volume of content from the other site, but it feels quite special here at the moment. Also I am loving how quickly Lemmy and all of the supporting apps are developing! I am using Mlem and am very impressed. I want to like wefwef and agree that it is very similar to Apollo, but I just can’t cope with web apps.

It’s fine but way too much talk about reddit.

I like it but can’t wait until we stop talking about Reddit

I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit’s positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted “f*ck u/spez” on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can’t delete Reddit from your head.

It’s good but I’m hoping the posts mentioning Reddit will stop.

Primarily a mobile user, which I’m assuming most migrants are. I like it so far, but have some minor complaints about the available apps. I was so used to Apollo, and a lot of the apps like wefwef and Mlem are frustratingly close but not quite there yet. Mlem Is missing some things like being able to zoom images, make image posts, (Correct me if I’m wrong, but Mlem doesn’t appear to be able to post anything except links) automatically fetch inbox messages, or view comment replies in threads. Wefwef seems more like Apollo so far, but it has its own quirks since it’s entirely web-based.

That’s something that I expect to improve with time though, as the apps are all still under development. So here’s hoping that things improve.

I definitely don’t ever have a reason to go back to Reddit, knowing that the subreddits I subscribed to will be here eventually if they’re not already

Well, let’s do a pros vs cons

Pros:

• I wasn’t banned for saying Putin should die after he invaded a country
• It’s a decent time killer
• It’s growing
• Idk I just like it

Cons:

• /c/NCD and some other instances are too small and not even close to their counterparts levels
• Jerboa for Lemmy has not been behaving too well for me
• It’s still fairly small and new so communities need to consolidate still

Overall I like it better than reddit tho.

For me, I was a longtime lurker, so I’m trying my best to come out of my shell and actually comment and have discussions. Overall, I like it so far, I just miss some communities and don’t want to run anything myself.

A little dull tbh. I still pop over to reddit when I’m on my desktop to visit my favorite subreddits (especially my bumper group). Hopefully Lemmy gets better, but I think step one is the community needs to stop being so goddamn meta and focus on building active communities.

Loving actually having conversations with people, instead of talking into the void where by the time you see a post it’s already so old that commenting is useless

I love the concept of a federated network, it definitely feels way more punk than just being another data set for a corporation

I do wish a few of the more niche subreddits had similar communities here, but I’m trying to do my part by making that content

None of the communities I’m interested are here, and a lot of the posts feel like they’re coming from cryptobros. I’m fundamentally interested in the format and tech, but I’m only here because I refuse to use Reddit on mobile, for now. Things could get better or worse, hard to say.

Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.

The servers (instances) aspect and different communities (forums on topics) on different servers and servers blocking others, is a mess if I’m being honest. It’s the biggest flaw. I still find it hard to find communities of topics I want…

Still not enough content. I already feel the slow down in activities. I’m in a weird spot rn. I go back to reddit because there’s more interesting stuff to see, but the official apps is so bad, that I come back here. Also People here seems more intelligent on avg.

I like lemmy because there is no ads and no gold and premium stupid stuff like NFTs and 50$ awards. I liked the awards ideas ,but damn paying up to 100$ for digital emojis that everyone will forget in a day?

The big downside is the lack of embedded videos. Of course videos takes a lot of server power compared to text. But I hope we find a way to implement this in the future.

I think we should have a public board that shows the instance hardware spec and the finance. So we can set donations goals to upgrade servers or keep them afloat.
