Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
I love that Lemmy has a small, but dedicated userbase and much less flamewars than Reddit. Seems like most people are actually here for good content and not just trolling everyone else.
I also like that the feed just ends eventually and I can close the app instead of doomscrolling through the whole night.
And I hope that toxic gamification features like global karma or awards will always stay out of here. The dopamine rushes from those are just bad for my brain and these features are really unneccessary.
It’s a lot less of a time sink for me now. I’m on maybe 15 minutes a day.
It’s probably because most of my other most frequented forums aren’t quite here yet.
Same here, It’s a good thing I think, but it sometimes make me feel a bit out of the loop
I’m just still missing communities that are only on Reddit rn.
Other than that… I’d argue the Lemmy ux is already far superior, so that’s great.
To be honest I don’t use it nearly as much as I used Reddit. Haven’t been on Reddit since the fuckening except for a couple of times, but my Lemmy usage is at maybe 10% pf what my Reddit usage was.
Now is that good or bad?
It is very good, considering how people behave there, i think that came from over excessive usage basically living on the platform.
I think its great
Overall a much more friendly bunch of people here.
Thanks you guys! Youre all awesome!
This is what makes me love this platform, Reddit was just a negative experience for the last years.
Where’s the fucking porn?
On other instances, easy to find.
Not the worst idea to disconnect interactions from the main account.
I joint today because Kbin is very slow to browse, so I figured I create an account here, but I don’t get why there is a lemm.me and lemmy.world which both look identical but it seems I can’t log in there using my username here?
They are different instances. That’s how the fediverse works.
You need to create an account on each instance you want to access the federation from.
is Lemmy the federation?
This explains it best: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/index.html
I personally was in for lemmy since the beginning, actually participated a bit building the first idea for another similar idea in 2018 to the fediverse, but I didn’t have the capacity to participate more.
Now, I love that people seem to enjoy Lemmy and I’m excited for its growth!
Most of the niche communities I followed aren’t on here so my usage is drastically lower than before. I find Lemmy to be generally nice as a platform-especially now with infinity for Lemmy out, I’ve come to forget that I’m no longer on reddit!
Just wish that there was more to go on here. Memes and tech can only keep me scrolling for so long.
Open up the communities you feel are really missing! I did so with !apocalypticart@feddit.de and so far, it’s going great judging from the subscribers.
I just wish other people than me would start posting there, but that’ll come eventually :)
