Asklemmy

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

not going well at all to be honest. it's very hard to adjust. but i remember reddit was hard for me too, so i guess i should just put in a bit more effort

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)

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 use it but some of the smaller communities pretty much are non existent here

I have almost completely dropped reddit. I'll check it once every few days on old.reddit for a few niche subreddits, or as I do regular online research on a topic, because it still has a long history. In the end, I never liked Reddit as it's just a silicon valley-based social media tech company that is designed to track users.

Lemmy itself is going great. I, for one, am happy that there are way more socialists here as a proportion of the population, and it makes me more comfortable as a user. And ever since Reddit killed 3rd party apps + ever since the lemmy web UI dropped websockets, actually visiting the Lemmy page feels much better. I didn't create an account on Lemmy for years because I really hated that websockets thing and seeing posts just appear randomly while leaving the site open.

My wish for Lemmy is a common sentiment: I would like to see more people with an easier way for them to get started. And I'd like to see less defederation. Lemmy.world performing preemptive defederation from Hexbear was a really bad move, IMO.

Someone mentioned how Lemmy draws a tech enthusiast crowd, and I think that's true. But that was also true for Reddit in its early days, as well. I think so long as the posting quality here is good, more people will eventually find their way in. If I can start seeing some cool home DIY stuff (to inspire the fortunate future day where I can finally be a homeowner myself), that is when I know Lemmy as a social platform has made it. I don't have the heart of a true poster, but I hope that if I have useful information to share and post that I'm doing my part in helping the community grow a bit larger.

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

I'm liking it so far. But given this is a federated replacement of Reddit, how does replication of communities work? Cuz there are multiple Technology or World News communities in different instances. Which one do we follow?

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
