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.

Seems to be, I tried kbin and it's a wasteland, but no biggie because the big communities from there are already here. There's no other alternatives that I'm aware of.

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.

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!

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.

I like the concept of ActivityPub (though Tildes feels cognitively easier to use). But I actually think internet forums are a dying format; I enjoy them but I don’t want to talk with bots, read bots arguing, or post more stuff used to train bots. I miss having little online corners of nerds being nerdy, but I think a lot of it will have to come offline to remain "authentic."

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.

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.

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

Nope, for me also, Lemmy works fine!

I'm liking it the more I use it and seeing the development of the platform is a nice experience.

Literally just signed up. Don't quite get the instances thing I'll read about that tonight but right now I'm on world which I think is the 'big' one?

Either way liking it so far

I think lemmy is the only viable reddit alternative for me, and since I don't plan on using reddit much anymore if at all. I'll be here. Most of my subs on reddit were smaller communties that I have not seen pop up yet on lemmy though. I hope they might appear soon, but I don't think some of them will ever be as active as they were there

I use reddit.club

Yeah, I'm pretty happy here. It's nice and close knit and not full of shit. Kbin also seems cool but needs a bit more time in the oven and an app to really be useful to me.

Lemmy on Memmy is feeling very Apollo

Im good here.

I want to like kbin, but mobile UI is just weird. If I tap on a picture, I want to see the picture, not the comment thread.

Gerboa gets me closest to the RIF experience, so that's where I'm at for now.

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.

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.
