There are a handful of local/regional subs on Reddit that I'll miss. I typically scanned them for news and current events happening around me. Their analog communities have been created here but the population is still pretty meagre. Which is fine. It means that to make it interesting I'll actually have to participate more rather than just lurk.

It's weird, a little quirky, and can be a unpredictable at times. It all adds to charm though and I love it.

[-] MiddleWeigh@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It's a bunch of people chopping it up. I'm a fan. Mostly cause it's not apart of any economic system probly.

I prefer the smallish community size over the vast sea of opinion that is reddit.

I just found out how to add more…instances? I want to call them subreddits but that’s not it lol but I like it, and so far I’ve curated enough for it to keep me interested while scrolling. I do understand that everyone is still getting their footing, I definitely am, so it won’t be perfect or exactly what I want. You really gotta take time to discover and explore the feddiverse, it seems quite big.

I think if we want this space to be a great reddit alt, we gotta put the effort in making it so!

Its great, every day more and more people are creating content and the quality of discussions is rich and contextual in most cases, back in reddit most of the times a huge chunk of the top comments where just reddit comedians making a low effort comment to try and gain upvotes.

One of the things I like about lemmy the most so far is the ability to view both a local All and the All with every instance there is, so if my local instance gets stale I can just look at whats happening on all instances!

[-] Rapokki@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Reminds me of early days Reddit with smaller communities and content. Reddit has more than a decade to build on its community, so naturally it has more content and more niche communities. But Lemmy doesn't have big cooperate influence like Reddit, so hopefully it can have more balance and unbias contents in the future.

[-] Sabin10@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't know how it works, I don't know what I'm doing and I'm loving it.

r/NCD and various firearms related subreddits are all I miss from reddit.

Think it would be cool to start an instance dedicated to firearms where there's a general community and separate smaller communities dedicated to certain popular platforms or topics like r/longrange or r/ak47. If I take it upon myself to start this I'd try to keep it apolitical other than maybe a community dedicated to gun rights/control/policy discussion only.

I’m not bad about it. Trying to contribute more and hopefully help this place grow!

[-] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like it so far. Everyone seems so helpful and nice. There isn't a ton of content here yet, but I know we're all working on it. Some of my niche interests have already had communities pop up since I've joined.

Currently, I'm using Connect. The UX is similar enough to Baconreader that I haven't had many issues with my transition. The future looks bright!

[-] ribboo@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I find all to be rather good, and don’t miss r/all that much. There are much less news which I miss. And then there are the niche communities that don’t really exist. I’m very hopeful though!

[-] KarmaBeatch@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Not sure yet. Still getting the hang of it. I'll give a few more days/weeks but I thin the promise is there.

[-] Grimr0c@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

LOVING it!!!! It's very similar to reddit as far as content goes, but its better in the sense that im not being bombarded with rage bait!

[-] Madnessx9@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Reddit felt so damn simple to use where this is an absolute cluster fuck of complexity in comparison. It really needs to be simpler if there are hopes to take down reddit. Hopefully with boost and sync devs making a client things may improve.

As of today, Connect loads the comments again, so I'm pretty stoked.

[-] Mkultron@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I'm digging it so far. Nothing to complain about. Just being patient with it's growth. Great potential.

[-] LeTak@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

I like it. The memes and entertainment are growing and good enough for me. But the knowledge base needs more input so that it can be used at some point as discussion forum for problems in different categories. Like the old Reddit were you could search if people had this problem and solved it etc etc.

[-] BornVolcano@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Adjusting slowly. I feel about as isolated with a sense of pseudo-connection that dies off the moment I stop typing my reply here as I did on reddit, if anything less content here with a less aggressive algorithm keeps me from getting into scrolling loops and lets me actually do shit with my day.

[-] kamecha@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like it very much! Everything comes naturally into place for me, I've had no issues adapting as of today. Already feels like home, and it's really nice to be here.

[-] HerrNovad@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I like it a lot, but I do miss the multi-reddit feature, several communties in one feed. But so far, so good!

[-] Bebo@reddthat.com 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] zozo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] elios94@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] JaCrispy@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

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!

[-] Iamaquantummechanic@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't understand how I can find and subscribe two "subreddits".

Better than I thought. There are hiccups, but nothing awful. I enjoy it and it scratches the reddit itch.
