Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.

I like it but still dealing with a bit of a learning curve. I expected some glitches and slow downs so that hasn't really bothered me. Looking forward to watching the platform evolve and take shape as I learn more.
My biggest pain point right now is the bugs. I tried posting a rather long reply to something and got a "Beehaw is down for maintenance" message. I'm not sure if it was the instance or my app (Connect), but I ended up losing the post.
Having said that, I really am enjoying my time here. People seem nice and welcoming, and engagement is good. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress.
Enjoying it so far I think. It's hard to say. Smaller, less content, some of the things I followed haven't made the jump(and I don't have enough time on my hands to help jump start them).
Been using my phone a lot less to doomscroll, and other nonsense so I'vr had more time to work on some hobby projects and such.
Overall though it feels like a good replacement.
I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche "Communities" (as Lemmy generically calls them).
I need my subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I'll probably fully abandon Reddit.
Enjoying it so far. It is definitely taking some getting used to. Was testing Liftoff! And now on Memmy. Finding Memmy to be more enjoyable especially with being able to set dark for ease of visibility.
Quite well. It motivated me to build my own Lemmy client and it makes me enjoy Lemmy a lot more!
I'm interested in doing the same. Can you walk through what you did?
Enjoying it a lot. Set up my own instance to try out, and exploring a lot of others. I enjoy the community a ton!
the site loads way faster for me than reddit ever did, to the point that I'm actually stoked about it
world??

Things can only get better!
I am enjoying the experience I must admit and I can't wait to see how things pan out 6 months from now. I am certainly sticking with it for the long run. Wefwef.app is amazing to interact with.
I'm a cat and currently I'm loafing in a corner of the room on my own cushion.
Translation: I am enjoying the peaceful moment looking at people doing their things here.
It's good. It has the pre-Digg.com migration vibe that early Reddit had. Niche communities are hard to get started, but that's to be expected.
Lots of positivity.
just joined and iโm happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.
