Lemmy does feel like reddit now. (lemmy.world)

I tried all the clients that are out there and no matter good they felt alien as I was accustomed to using Boost on Reddit. Now that the lemmy client has come, it's like I'm using reddit now. The only thing that bugs me is most communities didn't move from reddit and I'd have to continue using the official shitty app to engage with them.

Also I wanna know whether this one time payment would be all to access all the features or does the dev intend to go the sync route and offer something like ultra tier?

I agree with the other comments that stated that you should be the change you want to see in the world..

Lemmy does need a lil bit more content now. Engage with the users. Create posts and create comments. This is the future bro. A platform hosted by the users, for the users. You are not buying a yacht for anyone by using lemmy. On reddit however.. You use reddit and someone else gets to buy a new house..

Agreed. Just gotta give the place love. Pick something you care about and just talk about it.

e.g. I'm a pro wrestling guy. When the Redditpocalypse happened, a handful of the /r/SQ people came over here to kbin and made a community and just kinda...died after a week or three from lack of use cause everyone stuck with Reddit or went to the Discord.

Right now /m/SquaredCircle is the largest and most active wrestling community on lemmy/kbin (at least that I can see when searching), mostly cause A) my ass for the last few months has been posting 99% of the news and occasional highlights, and B) 1 of the new mods has been posting all the discussion threads and kicking up engagement where he can.

We building this shit up.

My biggest disappointment on Lemmy is the lack of sports here. But I have started to just post myself in those communities and contribute.

As the saying goes.... Rome wasn't built in a day.

The gaming and local community groups either don't exist or are very sparse.
