For the most part, there are maybe one or two subreddits I miss (ukrainianwar and wrexhamafc) and while I have found something for Ukraine, it's the quantity of content that was there. Beyond that, don't miss it at all, loving the vibe of lemmy, and glad I found a place to land. Oh and f$@% spez

Little bit on struggle bus. Looks like work blocks the instance I registered on so tried lemmy.world, but I guess I need a totally separate account to login to that? Seems a little fussy
I like it but definitely miss some of the more niche subreddits that I followed back on reddit, but hopefully those come over as Lemmy grows.
I'm loving it! I's similar enough to not be confusing but different enough to be an exciting change. Hoping the apps mature more, though.
I am enjoying out here. There are a lot of interesting posts and good discussion. However almost 80% of subs I am subscribed to on reddit are not here because they are niche subs. So now my browsing is divided between reddit and lemmy.
Definitely nice to scroll through news and memes again without having to deal with twitters dumpsterfire. Still some comforts I'm used to are missing but it's early days and I only see it getting better from here.
Definitely not missing Reddit.
I find it refreshing, for the most part. I've found that comments and replies are much more civil, I'm still getting used to the way users here disagree with actual reasoning while maintening respect for the other perspective. I had ads blocked before, but being absolutely ad free, without even the blank space where an ad would go is even better. The only downside is the amount of space dedicated to complaining about reddit. I don't wish to stop anyone from processing in whatever way they need, I just need to spend more time in my subscriptions instead of "all".
It has been fun so far. Just wishing more content eas here, but hopefully it'll increase with time.
Good quality memes so far, content for specific communities such as games or sports is lacking
I'd like to be able to group multiple subs into a mult-iLemmy that I can save to refer to. e.g I have multiple gaming subs I'd like to group into a single browsable page titled "games". Any way to do multi-subs?
@alphapro784 I feel like I'm using it wrong. I only see replies in my feed, not the original question. Probably user error on my part. Just haven't had the time to explore it.
I miss some of the subs from reddit but I don't want to deal with their app.
I find the idea of instances and being able to have a home instance while seeing others so great. It's like IRC with a server of choice and channels, but I even have the opportunity to see other servers, so it's a fun idea to me. Also Lemmy users are so nice! You're the best, and it must be a bit awkward for so many Reddit folk to very suddenly arrive.
Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
It would be nice to have a place to discuss world events without trolls brigading every thread.
Been using Thunder through Test Floght and itβs been pretty nice. Iβm sure with time itβll get better and more populated but I donβt mind the calm right now.
High quality content makes my scrolling more enjoyable and less depressing.
BUT vastly smaller community means it's harder to get questions answered. Reddit was my goto for all kinds of things that I have now turned to ChatGPT for.
Really miss Sync, but am living well enough with Connect until Sync for Lemmy is released.
I really love it. Even though I miss a few subreddits, Lemmy feels much like early Reddit, and it scratches an itch I've felt for many years.
Just fine. Spent last week editing all my comments with PDS. On Monday, I deleted my account and I'm only here so far.
Social media in general has been shit. Not that they ever were very good, but it seems to be worse.
Its better in a lot of ways and I have fully switched, didnt look back since.
Im enjoying it so far, i think ive figured most of it out, got myself on a nice smaller local instance and everything is loading properly, and im consuming the information.
It's surprisingly good. I thought it would be more dead, but it actually makes for quite a nice replacement with plenty of content.
