Asklemmy

Honestly, I've loved it. I recommend Alexandrite for desktop and Voyager for mobile.

I've had rich discussion within various communities, and I'm excited to see Lemmy grow, even if it takes some pitfalls and time.

Signing up for some instances can be annoying, when a few want you to type out a cover letter of why you want to join them. I get trying to weed out bots but god is it tedious.

Regretting thr instance i chose and checking for migration options.

Lemmy world is showing some weird reddit vibes when it comes to shoving admin decisions down users throats, even if they dont affect me.

I think it still needs to grow and get more stable. I find any browsing all that there isn't enough there for me to use it in the same way I used reddit.

For the first month or so, I would say it was about 40% of my SNS usage, now it's probably about 20-30%. Hopefully as more and more people use it, we get more users and more stable instances.

It depends. I'm on two instances, sopuli and beehaw. Both of them are really welcoming and cool, and I can interact with people without worrying about being bullied or harassed or attacked by random trolls just because they don't like what I say (and trust me, suffering those actions while being neurodivergent is way worse than suffering those actions while being neurotypical).

But I think that more than 70% of the content I see comes from one single instance. Excluding beehaw (they defederated that other instance, and I agree with that), I think that sopuli also has similar communities that are like abandoned or with low amount of content. That's something I don't like.

I’m liking it. The comments are nice and the content for the most part have been enjoyable. I do miss larger niche communities in reddit. Some really small communities are so small or dead its hard to get it going.

I don’t spend as much time on lemmy as I did reddit. I think I’ve now spent a bit more of that time spread with instagram and YouTube as well.

I run out of content to read much more quickly than I did with Reddit, so I'm antsy/restless more often, because I pick up my phone and then have nothing to do on it.

Very good. Seems like a nice place to be in.

I was commenting a fair bit early on, but have stopped so much cause that's just how I react to social media.

Have completely stopped using Reddit after baconreader died, and check Lemmy once, maybe twice a day. Nowhere near what I did Reddit but such is the way of things.

It has led me to go properly check out Mastodon so I'm more active over there (but still not really active)

Lemmy is great. So great that I named myself after it (my nickname was just "Resol" before then, now it's obviously "Resol van Lemmy", it sounds very Flemish). I do have a problem with it though. Most communities I was active on on Reddit are either nonexistent on Lemmy or just not big enough to maintain daily activity, making them look like ghost towns. Also, I had to shuffle between different clients because I didn't have a satisfactory experience with some, I'm currently using Sync because the interface is so nice (although I like how Jerboa shows the upvote to downvote ratio in addition to the total score). In addition to all this, I got help cutting down on screentime thanks to the Fediverse. I just didn't have much addiction anymore, which is always a good thing. I don't know what else to say.

I really like it and use it every day. I still use old.reddit.com a bit but I like Lemmy and Kbin more.

So I used lemmy world and then lemmy winks because world had up time issues and now I keep making ones on new instances seeing as winks seems to be dead

Memes are about the only consistent content on lemmy

The only thing I miss from reddit is the ability to use lemmy as a supplement to stack overflow. I still use teddit to occasionally find old posts on places like r/learnprogramming

I'm a junior web dev so I still benefit from old posts that answer basic questions, but I do wish I could just do a ddg lite search and be able to type in 'lemmy' and get the answer to my question.

Otherwise there's just certain subreddits I wish there was a corresponding community here on Lemmy like specific Indie Video Games. These are small issues and I hope Lemmy popularity grows. Not just for my personal wants, but just cuz I like decentralized alternatives as their simply more authentic imho.

Pretty good, though I'm not mainly using Lemmy directly. I run a Kbin instance that I've been using primarily, but I've also been testing Artemis with the developer's artemis.camp instance, and I have Infinity for Lemmy signed into my lemmy.world account.

There's less content here than on Reddit, but I think it's higher quality. There's less trolling and shitposting here (unless seeking it out on purpose then there's plenty).

I joint today because Kbin is very slow to browse, so I figured I create an account here, but I don't get why there is a lemm.me and lemmy.world which both look identical but it seems I can't log in there using my username here?

Pretty good so far, miles ahead of reddit, it's been nice seeing it grow, have been here for a year and change
