It's ok. I miss some features like multis, and communities are a lot smaller with less activity.

It's cool. I've been on mastodon before this, so I get the whole "looking around to find communities" thing. Lemmy seems to make it easier to find popular communities than Masto though, so that's nice.
But... After reddit fell, I took it as a sign that I need to get off the social media wagon wheel. I was spending almost every waking minute on reddit or twitching to get on it. I hope it doesn't get like that with Lemmy, though I fully expect it to.
Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.
In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.
I like Lemmy for inheriting all of Reddit's positive traits. Tough moderation, bots in the comments, stupid upvote/downvote hells, and many other virtues. I remember how it all started and all the sweet utopian tales of those who shouted "f*ck u/spez" on every corner. You can delete your Reddit account, but you can't delete Reddit from your head.
For some reason the notification bell icon is only appearing after I check my inbox and see the message. Then I hit the bell and it tells me there's nothing new because I already read it. If it's working for you maybe it'll just sort itself out. I'm using the Connect app, by the way.
so so - I like that I can post from Mastodon. It feels incomplete yet intriguing.
I haven't had to adjust to much. It's pretty much the same as before, in terms of how everything works at a basic level. I'm liking the different sorting options, more. New Comments is exactly what I like to see.
Just happy to be here.
