I have already made the transition to mastodon and now lemmy. I am loving the change and the freedom we are all gaining.

Hello world :)

Can we call communities "lemlets?"

Just got here since Apollo is going away and I won’t use Reddit’s app. Not sure I quite get how it works yet, so can’t say how I like it so far. Gotta play around with it a bit. Are there any apps for this yet?

Hi everyone! I'm /u/thatlightiningjack from reddit! (also obligatory fuck spez)

Seems good so far, having some lag issues but that's unsurprising. I'll join a couple of communities and see how it goes over the next few weeks/months.

The whole lemmy concept mixed with the current situation feels far more like you are part of a real community. Kinda like in old internet days. I will even break out of my reddit lurker days and try to contribute here.

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

Jerboa kinda sucks and Lemmur straight up doesn't let you sign in.

A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.

I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.

I think it's an improvement to reddit honestly. The communities seem chill compared to Frontpage so I'll stick around.

Seems pretty fine, more reddit-like than I thought it would be. First comment!

Was a bit confused about sign up at first but it was actually super easy here. Still have no idea what's going on.

I suppose the Reddit issue has at least got me to look into Lemmy. Seems interesting, albeit quite small. Still, oak trees grow from small acorns, etc, etc. ;-)

I like it so far. Finding communities is a bit difficult though, but I hope more niche communities will be made once more people join. Threads that aren't related to Reddit/Lemmy dev. are a bit slow, but that's to be expected since Lemmy is still growing. All in all I'm feeling quite optimistic and I really like scrolling through my feed in general.

I appreciate the speed, at least right now, faster than reddit so that's a bonus !

Hello it's great to be here!

Figured I’d just pass along a quick “hello” as someone that just jumped on tonight. Keen to see how the service develops and grows. Hope Lemmy in general takes off in time! Certainly early days (nabbing my first name as a user name is always a sign of that!), but there’s great potential.

New here and ready 🫡

It's similar to Reddit in many aspects, which definitely helps. I had to come over from Reddit after they killed the third party app I've been using for the better part of a decade. Excited to see where this goes.

Thanks for having us! Much learning ahead for me though it seems, but this does look promising.

@immadeofgold I'm pretty excited despite it being daunting. It reminds me of the 90s internet days. Looking forward to learning something new and fun.

I'm trying out Jerboa but it keeps telling me I'm not logged in every time I try to do something.

Anyone else having this issue?

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?

When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

Quite excited honestly. Things feel like anything is possible here, a sense of optimism and possibility. One that reddit had many many years ago. I have good hopes for the fediverse way of doing things
