Ask Lemmy

So far I'm happy with it. There is less mindless content to scroll but the quality of content is much better.

To be honest, I'm just trying to cut down on social media in general. If I could limit my usage to no more than half an hour a day, I would be set.

I've signed up on tildes.net as well

I think the only thing Lemmy is missing is scale now. Appears there is adequate dev support currently and every day I'm finding another community I followed on reddit popping up here

And I love the idea of not having one controlling entity for the platform to answer to. This is going to create some problems that will have to be addressed eventually but for now I feel like this is us taking back what the internet should be.

I found Tildes appealing and will probably join at some point, especially since the RIF dev is pivoting to making an app for that platform. I like their design philosophy better than the Fediverse, but the Feds are here, now and I already feel hooked in. I can't see abandoning that even after adopting Tildes.

give it time and dedication. it will grow if we want it to.

It's what I've got for now. I'm no more attached to Lemmy than I was to Reddit for the time being. I clung on to Reddit via Boost just out of convenience but I don't, like, miss it terribly or anything (yet?).

Yeah some of the littler/niche communities I was in are yet to resurface here (from the guilty pleasure Amberlynn Reid drama-watching to the somewhat related anorexia recovery subreddit) but that's to be expected, really.

Ironically threads isn't a reddit clone even though the threadiverse exists

I joined multiple to have many feeds

Yes indeed!

Lemmy is popular now, I think people will come here. I'm quite satisfied with user engagement but I think squabble has also had good potential but relatively less user engagement.

It's a tough hole to fill. Lemmy is neat but still has a lot of growth to do.

just throwing my random input in to the pot. still using Reddit via Boost but also checking into Kbin and some of the Lemmy servers as well via the Connect app for Android. I like Lemmy I just miss how Reddit had "everything in one place" if that makes sense.

I think I'm doing something wrong because I feel like I have to make an account for each server or "instance" I visit and that's annoying.

So far it's been a nice experience once I find "subs" and stuff I like there's just some growing pains I guess. idk man, I'm a lil inebriated atm

I like it but there is sparse activity on most of the Android instances. 😟 Lemmy kind of seems like several of ants scurrying around on a big mound right now. Am a big BoostforReddit fan and am hanging out on Jerboa until their Lemmy app is released.

Pretty hopeful. I'm in the process of setting up a server to try and host a few communities. Should get it online by the end of the month. I figure if as many people as possible just host a few communities (i.e. cherished Reddit subs that aren't here yet) then we can save the major instances the pain of trying to host everything for everyone and take real advantage of building a truly robust decentralised network

For now this is where I've landed and the community seems to be growing at a steady pace. As long as this place keeps growing and evolving, then I'm here for the long haul.

I am also using raddle.me and squabbles.io. both look promising and slightly less confusing than Lemmy with their instances.
