Ask Lemmy

I HAVE to stay here because I like mobile scrolling and I will never use the shitty Reddit app, so lemmy is staying as my Reddit replacement :)

I find it very strange how memes have become more popular than the gaming subs, I thought they would be equally bustling but they’re deathly quiet which is a shame so far.

Also missing SquaredCircle for wrestling happenings so I’ll quickly visit there on my PC, but certainly not interested in other Reddit crap.

Also got Tildes on the side for when I want some more stuff but there’s a lot off guff like sociology n stuff….sometimes you just need a meme or whatever. Glad to have a choice.

Yes, Lemmy is my Reddit Alt not just cuz it's awesome but also i don't know any other reddit alts.

I’ve used both Lemmy and Kbin. I see advantages to both, but I have been finding that Kbin isn’t as flexible with federated posts and is less flexible with smaller instances: my smaller instance of Kbin is missing a lot of posts and images that show up on kbin.social.

My smaller instance of Lemmy (VLemmy) seems to be pretty complete, so I have been been happy with it.

Also, the constant Kbin warnings about missing info on Federated magazines has really pushed me toward Lemmy.

It's absolutely my redditlike of choice, but I'm also one of those people who never left a few independent forums/communities and had been bummed about the way the internet felt like it was shrinking over the past decade. So the whole federated aspect is more appealing to me on that front than reddit was, conceptually.

Probably going to spin up an open identi.ca instance. It federates well with both lemmy and mastodon and does more. After that I'll probably whip up a script to automatically follow new accounts and communities to get it all federated into my instance.

The only “Reddit” feel Lemmy is missing is a mobile app that’s as good as Apollo, which I think will happen soon seeing so many app developments going on

I hope it will be, and think it has the potential.

It has already replaced the "all" experience for me, and I automatically come here rather than Reddit. On the other hand, most of my engagement on reddit was with hobby/interest communities. Very few of the ones I visited on Reddit have made it across in an active way so far.

One unexpected thing is that I actually enjoy my specific instance and find myself browsing "Local" way more often than I expected.

I think in my (limited) experience so far, kbin has the features/layout I prefer--but there's "nobody" over there. The community I set up over here is slowly gathering followers--the kbin one is not.

I’m hoping it will “stick” and grow in more popularity. I’ve been using wefwef.app and it’s nearly the same as Apollo, so I’ve been enjoying it. Many of my favorite communities are already here, but some aren’t, so it just means I’ll have to get them started!

I'm between here and Squabbles, but I am leaning heavily this way, since Wefwef removed some of the annoyances. Sync coming here guaranteed that I would be here eventually.

Yeah I think I like it here, it's different, but that isnt a bad thing. Also no idea where else to go. All other social media is off putting.

Yes, currently Lemmy is the one. Trust Cafe WTS Social is small but has some interesting aspects.

It will be interesting to see how Lemmy scales and adapts to corporations joining, and also how GDPR compliance unfolds.

I use reddit.club

Nope, for me also, Lemmy works fine!

4chan legitimately still beats lemmy and anything else. Slap on a bunch of decent filters and it's far more entertaining and useful than both reddit and lemmy combined.
