Good so far. Communities here are less active and I am still using old.reddit.com for stuff that has no equivalent community here yet, but just gonna give it time and re-search for the missing stuff every so often to see if any of it has been added anywhere.

Loving it. Haven't been back to Reddit in days. Don't foresee that changing.
I never used twitter, so i had no expectations when I used Mastodon.
I was a little hesitant with Lemmy since I use reddit so much. I'm liking it way more than I thought!
It's obviously less content, but as far ss my day-to-day use, i don't miss much. Hardest part was finding different communities to sub to, but there are enough directory sites around to help out with that.
I'm loving hanging out with y'all.
I love it and created my own instance!!
It's fine but god dammit all the network effects and preexisting communities (Reddit has one for EVERYTHING) will all be gone now, through no fault of Lemmy
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 like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.
Getting better as more people are on onboarded
I've noticed that I come across the same posts more frequently on my front page here than on Reddit. Perhaps it would be solved as the userbase continues to grow. Other than that, I have no complaints. This platform is a perfect substitute for Reddit, if not better.
I'm digging it so far. Nothing to complain about. Just being patient with it's growth. Great potential.
I don't know how it works, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it.
i found it challenging to understand how to subscribe to communities across instances until i discovered the Home icon in the top right of lemmiverse.net. i wish there was a quick 'subscribe' button there that would help you build up your subscriptions fast.
generally, i feel good about it. waiting for a few communities i really enjoyed to pop up- watchexchange and watches are big ones imo.
glad to see two huge F1 communities though!
I like it a lot, but I do miss the multi-reddit feature, several communties in one feed. But so far, so good!
It's a bunch of people chopping it up. I'm a fan. Mostly cause it's not apart of any economic system probly.
I prefer the smallish community size over the vast sea of opinion that is reddit.
It's weird, a little quirky, and can be a unpredictable at times. It all adds to charm though and I love it.
r/NCD and various firearms related subreddits are all I miss from reddit.
Think it would be cool to start an instance dedicated to firearms where there's a general community and separate smaller communities dedicated to certain popular platforms or topics like r/longrange or r/ak47. If I take it upon myself to start this I'd try to keep it apolitical other than maybe a community dedicated to gun rights/control/policy discussion only.
Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.
I'm getting used to Lemmy, really enjoying my experience so far. I'm using the Jerboa app and it has honestly worked very well. Slowly discovering more communities to join. I think I'm here to stay (and mostly lurk)
I've been in Lemmy for a month now and I've never seen the need to come back to reddit at all. I like it here.
There are a handful of local/regional subs on Reddit that I'll miss. I typically scanned them for news and current events happening around me. Their analog communities have been created here but the population is still pretty meagre. Which is fine. It means that to make it interesting I'll actually have to participate more rather than just lurk.
Its great, every day more and more people are creating content and the quality of discussions is rich and contextual in most cases, back in reddit most of the times a huge chunk of the top comments where just reddit comedians making a low effort comment to try and gain upvotes.
One of the things I like about lemmy the most so far is the ability to view both a local All and the All with every instance there is, so if my local instance gets stale I can just look at whats happening on all instances!
