Actually I didn't think I'd move away from reddit but since I found lemmy I have to activelly think about going to reddit to read something there. Most of the communities I already found here and suprisingly, I'm not really missing the ones which I thought I'd miss.

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.

Have a Tilde account now too, more users, but less active? Odd space...

[-] jerdle_lemmy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

There's a chance I'll move to kbin, although I have a community here. But in general, Lemmy makes a good Reddit replacement.

I split my time between Lemmy and Tildes, Lemmy is the most Reddit-like, Tildes is more of a place for contemplation and I like it a lot, but when I feel like doomscrolling a la Reddit, I go to Lemmy.

So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.

Yes it is. Tried Imgur for a while, but that place is… lost. Now with the Memmy App, I feel right at home here on Lemmy

[-] AdmiralShat@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

I wasn't aware imgur was even a social media, I thought it was just an image host

[-] Tudou@feddit.uk 5 points 1 year ago

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.

the recent giant performance boost for lemmy.world and the launch of the ios client Memmy on the app store makes lemmy so great rn

[-] pwalshj@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I'm happy so far and I'm enjoying watching the community grow.

[-] BaddDadd@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

It was so hard to find and join this place, I think I'll hang for a while. I lurked on Kbin for a bit, but I hate the way they show images, especially on mobile browsers. I tried Mastadon first, but that was even more confusing.

Still not sure of lemmy Vs. Fediverse Vs. Threadiverse, whether the instance I joined is best for me, or if it even matters. On Reddit it was easy to lurk, then only one way to join, and easy to figure out. If someone figures out how to simplify using and joining their instance or universe or whatever, they have an opportunity to come out on top.

I'll probably stick with Lemmy until another solution comes around that makes federation easier.

[-] Boiglenoight@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I love it. It's fun to watch it grow too.

[-] mr_monoxide@vlemmy.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

[-] tuts@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Nope, for me also, Lemmy works fine!

[-] Alexandrite@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] FollyDolly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

So far Lemmy is my new home! I like it here.

[-] roadrussian@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe? With revancing the RIF app i can still use my old app. This being said the protests have salted the earth in many placed i subscribed to. In other places there are more bots and spam then before. Lemmy is still a little weird for me. I barely got the hang of the federation in browser, app was too weird for me.

So ill just vagabond around for a while and see what i see.

[-] Sev@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Leviathan@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 year ago

Here since last night. It's been good, feels like Reddit from ten years ago.

[-] Klypto@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The user interface in my opinion is pretty bad. It looks like old reddit which wasn't that good. I have to manually expand each post to view it instead of just scrolling through.

Kbin is mostly better. But still a little rough on a few points.

Reddit in desktop mode is better.

Sync in card view mode was the best. Still looking for that experience.
