Sometimes it's really slow but besides that, it works and I believe it will take off as a successful project, Reddit can go duck itself.

I miss Relay, my reddit app.
Fairly good!
For all its downsides, federation allows for the creation of very cozy communities. I love the feature that you can switch between browsing federated and local subs.
There could be more content of course, but it's not a matter of Lemmy and I, too, feel like I want to invest more in local community than on Reddit.
Keep it up!
Gerally it's decent.... I don't use it anywhere near as much as I used Reddit but I'm not sorry to see the back of that place.
It can be a little buggy sometimes, responses dont post or further posts fail to load. I think the lack of consistency is whynim using it less at the moment but overall, happy chappy :)
Been here about 3 weeks and every day it's feeling more like home.
I won't be going back to reddit.
I like it. I haven’t been back to Reddit since June 30th. It still has ways to go in terms of content and app availability. I am using Memmy and it is wonderful. Missing support for gifs (some work many don’t), albums, etc. great start.
Great but there’s some frustrations. My instance appears overloaded and often voting or commenting fails. I’m also using alpha software so it’s unstable. And the communities are much tinier and quieter.
I’m sure in a few weeks there will be some big improvements. Early mastodon was like this too.
I realy like it, but I miss RIF. I use Jerboa now, but might switch an app. RIF was realy usefull for not looking at stuff (loading it) for seccond time. I saw purple link and just skipoed the post, without needing to open it or to load the image again.
It's a little routh around the edges but I love seeing how instances are developing. Also the vibes seem to be more united here.
Really good at the moment. I think i will enjoy a better lemmy when Boost will be out, just because i'm better in touch with that app for years now. Not that wefwef is bad, im also surprised for the recent updates it has got. The only things i really miss are a larger MTG community and the "Random NSFW" lol
I'm liking it a lot.
Now that I've gotten used to the differences I'm enjoying it, fills a lot of the whole left by reddit. The only thing I'm missing is the scale of the user base making some of the more niche subreddits I used to spend the most time on not have a very active analog here
Lemmy is life, Lemmy is love.
This is literally my first ever comment on Lemmy - been lurking since Apollo went dark. Going to try and be way more active here than I ever was on Reddit, need to start throwing more upvotes around too.
I have a nice little folder on my homescreen full of apps I’m switching between which is fun in itself watching them develop super fast, with great updates from the devs and server hosts which adds to the feeling of being in on the ground floor (typing this on Memmy, but also enjoying wefwef when it works for me).
There’s a real feeling here of “something” happening, but no one quite knows what it is yet. I wasn’t there for the really early days of Reddit, but I presume it felt a bit like this. The Beans situation was fun to watch come and go.
I haven’t built up a sub list of communities yet like quite like I had, so mostly just browsing All to soak in the entire platform, but that will come with time as it did over there.
Overall, it’s solidly filling the Apollo sized hole in my heart and in my day-to-day doomscrolling. I’m definitely sticking around for the long haul here - fuck you u/Spez.
I'm loving it, here is my slogan. "When life gives you lemons, make Lemmy-ade"
I see a lot of reposted content or no content changes because of lack of user activity unfortunately.
That's driving me to use my phone less though so that's a plus.
It keeps crashing and not loading stuff correctly and giving me lots of hang time.
A lot like Reddit around the time I left Digg
It's been alright so far. I couldn't get an account to work on Lemmy.world, so I had to start over on lemm.ee and that was kind of a pain, especially since some communities don't show up on lemm.ee. I'm still trying to get everything set up and subscribed to the same communities I was on Reddit. I'm using Jerboa and it works pretty well and looks good. Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!
I was able to join Lemmy fairly easily at first. Then the updates happened on Lemmy World. Was almost about to give up because I was kind of made to log off then I couldn't log back in for the life of me.
Knew I had to be patient, but at one point I got so frustrated I just deleted the whole thing.
Downloaded it again a couple of days later and all was good. All sorted. Still learning though.
I’ve really been liking it for the most part and hoping there’s a real app soon. After all the subreddit blackouts last month Reddit started to feel like the big, empty hollow worlds of some video games. That’s when I stopped using it.
