I haven’t missed Reddit once since I started using Lemmy. This place is a vibe.

Getting there. Just not active enough for me yet. I need go be able to scroll a unhealthy amount all day long dammit :(

But it's a much better community.

Feels like Reddit way back in the day, honestly.

I’m talking like 17 years ago way back.

Loving it! So much fun, silly content!

I don't understand why people are grasping so desperately onto reddit. This platform is young but already superior in most ways to reddit.

Also, I firmly believe that federation is the perfect environment for something like reddit and this is what we should have gotten in the first place instead of what reddit became.

It's definitely turned me from a lurker to a commenter 😅

I've honestly been impressed with how fast Lemmy has improved both in terms of technical implementation as well as the quality of the site overall. Memmy has also impressed me with how quickly it is improving as well.

The old memes and posts about a dude not wanting to poop for 3 days has given me pure joy.

But everyone here has also been really great, and I've had no shortage of posts and comments to interact with.

Let’s try our best to keep this same energy going forward!

I'm in this picture and I like it

My experience is that it's 95% of the way there and has the potential to do it all. I think Lemmy needs time to coalesce as a thing and for defacto groups to emerge that replace the ones over on Reddit.

I’ll be honest, I have not weened myself 100% off Reddit just yet. However, I notice with each passing day since Reddit sabotaged third party apps that I am opening and scrolling through Memmy first and more often than I am doing with Narwhal. So while I have not left Reddit behind just yet, leaving it behind is getting easier by the day as more people start coming over to Lemmy and is becoming more active.

It’s like Reddit, but from 10-12 years ago. And I dig it.

Yeah, actually people and communities look less toxic but I guess that would soon change.

Personally I prefer how on Reddit you can get really specific communities. Like for tsundere sharks, or bread stapled to trees.

It would be much better without the constant references to Reddit

Definitely has potential. Needs to reach critical mass.

Lemmy is one chill af mofo 🤙

Yo is that the Hasselhoff??

That photo of The Hoff is pure gold.

Lemmy is superior to Reddit in every way.

It has a few weird glitches that happen every couple of days, and I haven't been able to find a way to 100% stop non-English languages from showing up. Every other day my feed will get filled up with posts in Dutch or German or something, I'll go through block communities and try to keep them out (I just can't read what they say, so I don't care to see it). I tried changing my language in the settings, but that doesn't seem to have stopped it. That and random problems with being logged in seem to affect Memmy on iOS. Otherwise, I'm liking it so far.

Hopefully the momentum continues and the community builds. I was worried about finding a barren wasteland after leaving Reddit, but it seems to be doing well so far.

The same

I use all the tools I can. Reddit has a great community in a lot of subreddits that are extremely helpful. So are many standalone forums for the topics I enjoy. Lemmy is just another option for great content. I prefer Lemmy to Reddit as a platform, but the content - I really don't care where it's hosted as long as it's free (free as in freedom of information, not just cost).

Reddit's gone to shit, but I'll still hit those SysAdmin and other subs for information. Too valuable not to.
