Ask Lemmy

I still see and experience blind down voting and people missing each other's points, but much less than on Reddit. Overall I'm more aligned with the viewpoints shared here, especially because the vibe on the other site has really changed a lot after over 10 years.

I definitely use lemmy a lot less for mindless scrolling, due to the lack of content, which is great to be honest.

I spend more time researching stuff through articles, forums, YouTube, and yes, also the other site still when it's through specific Google searches.

I still see way more US centric content than I'd like but there's definitely a good European presence, and it's also on me because I'm still browsing basically the whole unfiltered feed at this point.

I love it.

It replaces most of my Reddit time. I still find myself going to some subreddits that have activities wince several here that are more niche have zero activity.

The UI is nice, although seeing duplicate posts can be annoying. Pagination could use some improvement. When browsing by new, new items posted seem to push the list so you could see the same items over and over it enough new items are posted. Adding some kind of timestamp and better list filtering could improve the experience.

The people here tend to be nice. Conversations have been mostly pleasant.

Overall, I have enjoyed it.

Lemmy has its own cuddly places

Honestly, I miss reddit. Lemmy is kinda good, but just doesn't do it for me.

Also the fucking leftists, I swear. Reddit has their share but you could block them without losing 90% of the site.

I like

Same for Kbin

Me too! In the beginning, I wondered how I would fit in, but that's not a worry anymore.

good but mapping communities lacking alot

To add something that I haven't yet seen mentioned (didn't read the whole thing), porn. It hasn't taken off like it did on reddit, and I do miss that. I don't want my feed covered in porn, but I would like to have quality porn properly covered in an adult instance. Pornlemmy and lemmynsfw just doesn't cut it.

Im on infinity, and I don't love that there's little to no support for popup gifs and videos on the feed, I mostly have to go into a post whose title may catch my attention then wait for something to load (or not to load, redgifs has been incredibly hit or miss for me as of late, lots of forbidden requests and failed playbacks due to it). Idk, it's not the experience or the content that you'd expect on reddit using any reddit 3rd party app.

Other than that particular thing, it's been getting very us-centric, with political memes or stuff that only us people would care about. I might have to try other instances.

Other than that, I appreciate Lemmy, it made me mostly drop reddit except for Google searches, and I feel comfortable interacting with people here.

I'm liking it. The one thing I think is missing is it is sorta difficult to get critical mass for a community. It would be nice if we could have "meta" communities which just combine every instances community with the same name. It would likely be very problematic moderation wise but it would help get critical mass in a lot of places.

I like it a lot and it's still early days.

Will done Devs.

Can't wait for the rest of the Reddit subs to come over.

I was told there would be baguettes, however I'm not sure what a baguette is so I don't know what I'm looking for and I think there may be a notable nudist commune or three around here.
