Ask Lemmy

Here since last night. It's been good, feels like Reddit from ten years ago.

Nope, for me also, Lemmy works fine!

I'm between here and Squabbles, but I am leaning heavily this way, since Wefwef removed some of the annoyances. Sync coming here guaranteed that I would be here eventually.

4 weeks ago it was empty.

3 weeks ago it was a growing and a little rough to find content.

2 weeks ago it was filling in.

1 week ago it was silly (beans anyone?).

It is growing by leaps and bounds. The main thing missing now is the really good discussions in politics and news. But I think the trajectory is right and it will be the place to be.

Maybe? With revancing the RIF app i can still use my old app. This being said the protests have salted the earth in many placed i subscribed to. In other places there are more bots and spam then before. Lemmy is still a little weird for me. I barely got the hang of the federation in browser, app was too weird for me.

So ill just vagabond around for a while and see what i see.

Seems to be, I tried kbin and it's a wasteland, but no biggie because the big communities from there are already here. There's no other alternatives that I'm aware of.

I’ve used both Lemmy and Kbin. I see advantages to both, but I have been finding that Kbin isn’t as flexible with federated posts and is less flexible with smaller instances: my smaller instance of Kbin is missing a lot of posts and images that show up on kbin.social.

My smaller instance of Lemmy (VLemmy) seems to be pretty complete, so I have been been happy with it.

Also, the constant Kbin warnings about missing info on Federated magazines has really pushed me toward Lemmy.

The only “Reddit” feel Lemmy is missing is a mobile app that’s as good as Apollo, which I think will happen soon seeing so many app developments going on

I like the concept of ActivityPub (though Tildes feels cognitively easier to use). But I actually think internet forums are a dying format; I enjoy them but I don’t want to talk with bots, read bots arguing, or post more stuff used to train bots. I miss having little online corners of nerds being nerdy, but I think a lot of it will have to come offline to remain "authentic."

So far Lemmy is my new home! I like it here.

I'm liking it the more I use it and seeing the development of the platform is a nice experience.

Depends on how much Meta fucks it up, if at all.

I’m hoping it will “stick” and grow in more popularity. I’ve been using wefwef.app and it’s nearly the same as Apollo, so I’ve been enjoying it. Many of my favorite communities are already here, but some aren’t, so it just means I’ll have to get them started!

Literally just signed up. Don't quite get the instances thing I'll read about that tonight but right now I'm on world which I think is the 'big' one?

Either way liking it so far

Yeah, I'm pretty happy here. It's nice and close knit and not full of shit. Kbin also seems cool but needs a bit more time in the oven and an app to really be useful to me.

Lemmy on Memmy is feeling very Apollo

Im good here.

I want to like kbin, but mobile UI is just weird. If I tap on a picture, I want to see the picture, not the comment thread.

Gerboa gets me closest to the RIF experience, so that's where I'm at for now.

I think in my (limited) experience so far, kbin has the features/layout I prefer--but there's "nobody" over there. The community I set up over here is slowly gathering followers--the kbin one is not.
