Asklemmy

It's ok. I've had some amicable conversations and there's more content for my train trips. Sometimes the online arguments make my anxiety shoot up.

I love beehaw but I'm starting to feel disconnected from the community. I feel like overall beehaw and lemmy are creating this echo chamber that is repeating the same talking points over and over again. Reddit and Twitter both offered insight from industry leaders or at least those in the industry in question. Lemmy seems to lack those type of folks. I'm also noticing an abundance of opinionated folks. This is good and bad. It feels like sometimes there isn't any worth from engaging in a conversation. Sometimes there is, but a good bit of time I end up regretting it.

Overall it's like the Linux version of Reddit. It's not great but you can feel slightly more ethical using it.

I wish there was a big enough wrestling community

I prefer Lemmy, it's a smaller community and I like the fact that you don't need karma to make a comment or post. I still lurk Reddit every now and then, but only for information about my interests, I don't comment or post

I enjoy it so far. But I wish more stuff was tagged as NSFW and filtered out. Often I get girls in bikinis in my feed and I don't want to know about that. I've been banning endless communities from my feed but it seems new ones pop up daily.

I'm having fun. Would like to see some of the niche hobbyist coms get more visibility.

I'm here for the community and to be honest - the people in the Fediverse are very smart and share their smarty brains in a nice and parsable way.

Browsing Lemmy's front page has replaced reddit's r/all for me, usually checking top of 12 hours from all instances.

But I still use reddit for specific forums of certain things, because it's just the biggest community for the particular subject. I usually try to check if I can find the particular subject from Lemmy and check that out first though.

I'm more of a commenter/lurker and I quite rarely make new posts, but when I do make one:

• If it's a question about something I need help with, I'll start with a Lemmy post and then possibly also make one on Reddit - more readers, more answers.
• If it's just a shitpost/meme/"content", I only post it on Lemmy.

Overall, I do like it most of the time, but as of right now my biggest issue is the massive amount of downtime on Lemmy.world. How am I supposed to like it if I can't even use it?

It's quite good as long as a thread is not political. As soon as anything even remotely political starts being discussed, it devolves into an absolute shitshow, political opinions on Lemmy seem to be much more extreme than on Reddit for some reason.

It's almost perfect... But whenever I get into a new game, especially something kinda niche, I can't find a place to talk about it. I miss that.

Going better than I expected, especially now that we have so many capable clients like Sync. I don't miss Reddit at all, and I really like that there aren't any annoying posters like Schnoodle and his circlejerking fanbois, or the LTT fanclub in subs like r/pcmr who'd downvote anyone who criticizes LTT, or Windows fanbois who'd always downvote anything Linux related (I also like that there's a larger representation of Linux and OSS folks here which is awesome).

I spend like an hour here daily and I'm looking forward to see how much it grows.

Haven't been back to Reddit. It's going great. Mostly I am relieved I don't have to see that fucking Jesus ad anymore.

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.

Aside from the russian shills, fine and dandy.

It's fun to start with a small user base. The downtime is rough, and I have some minor issues with it like the fact that deleting a comment hides all of the replies to that comment. Overal, though, it's kew.

I'm loving it, it feels genuine and authentic without all the bots and algorithms.

All in all Ok. There still some toxicity, not enough types of people to dilute some of the fringe or hardcore groups at times. Things like circlejerks seem to have more power outside of their own realm at times, anecdotally at least. Having to swap instances because DDoS or federation policy or the like and then having to reblock the same furry or anime or trans or random niche comic porn sites is a bit tiresome too. I get that the makeup of the users skews towards these groups and their supporters more, it's just taking more curation I guess.edit: and duplicate posts from multiple instances. Another thing I imagine will be resolved in future.

Those negatives aside it's been an interesting experience. I feel that I'm getting a broader sense of what's going on, things that would have been drowned out before now appear to get at least a decent chance if not equal billing in my feed. The new forums have been really good, a very wide range of topics and articles from all around and some properly interesting discussions going on.

It definitely feels more like the earlier internet days at times which can be good as well as bad. I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops

I use it just as much as Reddit and generally enjoy the home/all experience much better. What you miss is the niche communities but I feel like the better experience on the “big” communities like !apple_enthusiast@lemmy.world or !technology@lemmy.world make up for it.

It also got me to join mastodon over twitter, so I’m grateful for that as well

Honestly, I don't miss Reddit at all. I deleted my account over a month ago.

Voyager is just like Apollo, and it's been fun to try other apps as well. I also have accounts on kbin, Discuit, and Squabblr, but Squabblr is basically a dead platform at this point, and Discuit is yet another centralized platform so who knows if that one will last.

Lemmy's been my favorite of the bunch.

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.

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.
