They managed to make an even worse search experience

I really like it, except I'm still constantly getting "network error" messages. Not sure if it's a Jerboa app glitch or if the networks are still incredibly overloaded.

For example, every comment I post will buffer for a bit then tell me there's a network error, as if my comment didn't get posted. But if I refresh the post, my comment shows up. It's going to happen this time, too.

When federation works it is good. The instance I signed up for was missing quite a bit of posts across many of the different communities I had signed for. It seems better now after a recent upgrade, but unless one checks manually there is no way to know for sure if one's instance is federating properly.

The other issue I find is that because anyone can create a topic on any instance, that can cause fragmentation of less popular topics so basically none of the instances has a good representation on that given topic because the few people interested in the topic are scattered.

I've been on the fediverse before, but never thought to use Lemmy/Kbin until the Reddit exodus. Joined a small community for the domain name and enjoyed it thus far.

That being said, some communities are missing or inactive, definitely gonna help out in that regard.

It’s an adjustment. I find there to be far fewer comments on posts. I want to be optimistic, but haven’t achieved the same level of dopamine release. Still, I prefer it to the echo chamber Reddit has become.

Liking it so far. It feels a bit like the early days of the internet. You know the potential is there and can’t wait to see this grow.

I've been in Lemmy for a month now and I've never seen the need to come back to reddit at all. I like it here.

It's a bunch of people chopping it up. I'm a fan. Mostly cause it's not apart of any economic system probly.

I prefer the smallish community size over the vast sea of opinion that is reddit.

Very little content here. But I'm glad the crowd is more diverse than on Mastodon

I love it so far. I've been a huge supporter for decentralization for a while now through blockchain tech so it's great to see so many people finally seeing what makes decentralization as a concept so great.

I just hope the apps keep developing at the speed they are because they are the part that is lacking the most right now. The experience is significantly better on PC right now. Even simple things like finding new communities is difficult on the apps I've tried so far.

It’s decent, has a lot of room to grow though. I really miss the niche subreddits.

It's great! Though I'm missing some niche communities. And some good apps.

I enjoy it so far, but I am noticing that the userbase is currently a lot smaller and thus there are fewer posts and comments. Also, the niche interests are very thinly represented. For instance, I enjoyed following the valheim subreddit to get up to speed with updates and see fun creations. Lemmy has basically no community for valheim. The same goes for other narrow subjects. I expect this to grow along with the popularity of Lemmy, but it's currently a bit shallow.

I think it's really cool here. The people have been mostly friendly, the communities I'm following are decently active, and new features are being added every day. I honestly have very few complaints.

Much better than Reddit. I no longer get my comments automatically removed by some poorly implemented algorithm anymore. Lemmy is more flexible and diverse.

I’m enjoying it! The fediverse is a cool concept with a lot of promise, and with Reddit and Twitter both being killed from the top it’s taken on new importance for me. It’s also been really refreshing to see that Lemmy isn’t a right-wing cesspool like Reddit alternatives and whatnot have been in the past

Loving it except for a handful of bugs that I expect to be fixed in the next release :)

Definitely a learning curve but WefWef has solved a lot of my initial issues. Also seems like a lot less obvious bots and garbage than Reddit, which was getting pretty bad.

But so far I’m glad to be on something decentralized and excited to see what this looks like a year from now.

I'm liking it so far, but a couple of things confuse me about the multiple instances thing.

I've made an account in lemmy.world and for the most part, have found my favorite communities are on the grow here.

However, I know there are other popular instances like lemmy.ml and such. Do our accounts not work cross compatible across the various lemmy instances?

I'm loving hanging out with y'all.

I like it. The memes and entertainment are growing and good enough for me. But the knowledge base needs more input so that it can be used at some point as discussion forum for problems in different categories. Like the old Reddit were you could search if people had this problem and solved it etc etc.

So much potential! All that has to happen, in my opinion, there needs to be 3 instances( at minimum) that will promise to never defederate anything! And I mean keep corporate meta bs included and as long as it's not illegal ( looking at you, r/jailbait) it should be included. This platform will take off!!!

Let everyone have an opinion, a voice. Even if it's offensive. There should be a place for racism, fat phobia and discourse of any kind. And then we can have a place for everything else in between. As long as we have that yin and yang on the Internet lemmy will take off! like nothing else in the world because if you don't want to see something just don't join that community or that a federation.

A truly open source and free place curated just for you based on what you want, what you desire and what you would like to learn, that, that's what this place is all about!

It's the pipe dreams that the internet should have always been.

That's just my 2¢. Let everyone have a place and let it be free!

I like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.

LOVING it!!!! It's very similar to reddit as far as content goes, but its better in the sense that im not being bombarded with rage bait!

I'm getting used to Lemmy, really enjoying my experience so far. I'm using the Jerboa app and it has honestly worked very well. Slowly discovering more communities to join. I think I'm here to stay (and mostly lurk)

I find all to be rather good, and don’t miss r/all that much. There are much less news which I miss. And then there are the niche communities that don’t really exist. I’m very hopeful though!

I never used twitter, so i had no expectations when I used Mastodon.

I was a little hesitant with Lemmy since I use reddit so much. I'm liking it way more than I thought!

It's obviously less content, but as far ss my day-to-day use, i don't miss much. Hardest part was finding different communities to sub to, but there are enough directory sites around to help out with that.
