I’m loving it too- I miss a lot of subreddits and the sheer volume of content from the other site, but it feels quite special here at the moment. Also I am loving how quickly Lemmy and all of the supporting apps are developing! I am using Mlem and am very impressed. I want to like wefwef and agree that it is very similar to Apollo, but I just can’t cope with web apps.

It’s fine but way too much talk about reddit.

I’m having an easier time sticking to it and not visiting reddit than I thought I would. The first day was pretty sketchy with 90% of the posts being about Lemmy, reddit, or twitter - but since then it’s been giving a more enjoyable experience.

It probably helps that I’m making an effort to post and comment, which I never really did on reddit.

As Lemmy grows I’d like to see more niche communities take off, similar to how there was “a subreddit for everything”.

I do have a big wishlist for site functionality changes though. A big sore spot is that youtube videos and text posts can’t open in-line on the front page.

I like it but can’t wait until we stop talking about Reddit

It’s just a bit too small right now, lots of communities that don’t exist yet or are barely active. I do think there’s potential here though. I’m not the most techsavvy so I don’t really understand the whole fediverse thing, and I think that’s the thing keeping a lot of people away. Once you’re here though it barely matters.

There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.

I like how default sort for comments is active instead of best, which was just top rated comments

that way, I see recent comments where conversation is still happening and I can participate, gives a better feeling

It’s OK so far but I think I’ll be more engaged when Sync for Lemmy launches. The UI isn’t streamlined enough and I would like to stumble on communities by accident but I’m not sure if it’s possible.

I like it. Unlike a lot of comments I see, I don’t want hordes of people to come here from Reddit - I prefer to keep it smaller. Yes, it sucks that super niche communities are hard to get without tens of millions of people, but the drop in overall quality isn’t worth it.

I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit’s positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted “f*ck u/spez” on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can’t delete Reddit from your head.

I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Could be the novelty of everything, but I’m liking it more than Reddit. And like I’ve seen many here say, I tend to respond and have conversations here more often.

Plus, Connect for Lemmy is very nice on my Android phone. I was waiting for Sync of Lemmy to arrive, but I’m not so sure I’ll switch.

Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.

Loving actually having conversations with people, instead of talking into the void where by the time you see a post it’s already so old that commenting is useless

I love the concept of a federated network, it definitely feels way more punk than just being another data set for a corporation

I do wish a few of the more niche subreddits had similar communities here, but I’m trying to do my part by making that content

Ok so far. Missing some subs that i was active on at Reddit, but maybe they will show up eventually.

Only thing i don’t realy get is what the point of having it divided in different service is, when it is all going to show up everywhere else anyways. I go to Lemmy and i get kbin and mastodon post, i go to kbin and i get lemmy posts…
