yes

Hell yeah. I’m happy with Lenny so far and I think this will be a better Reddit in the future.

Yes

Yes

I'm staying. I haven't liked reddit for a while now.

Absolutely, this is my new home.

Maybe, it seems cool. Still got alot to learn. Like why am I seeing stuff I'm not subscribed to when I filter by subscribed. At this point I don't know if it's a problem with the app, the instance or what. But I'll learn I'm sure.

Yeah it is pretty nice. I like the simplicity of the interface. I am still trying to figure it all out, and figure out why even when im "sorted" to most comments, but after a few seconds brand new posts begin popping up at the top.

If i can get the "home" and "all" views from reddit i would be very happy

Yes, but only on the condition that HeGetSus doesn't make an appearance.

No, unless at some point, most content is no longer about Reddit and Lemmy! Trying to give it a good chance for now.

Yep! This place is great!

Yea, probably, the default reddit app is so bad the site is barely usable. Unfortunately lemmy's android app has a good gui but it's so buggy, like after the last update I can't even go to all or subscribed anymore, it just goes back to local. At least I can browse lemmy on my phone browser.

It depends on the content & communities I can find here and how well things function here. So far the lack of content I'm interested in has been my main issue with Lemmy, but otherwise it seems like a fine place to be.

I think it’s looking very promising. I’ll agree with others here that if the users come on, some of the bugs get worked out, and an Apollo like app gets created Id be happy to call this home.

I’ve been a serious Reddit user since the digg incident so it really is like the end of an era.

I don’t think so, for the moment at least.

Why? Because it’s me! Hi! I’m the lazy casual Reddit user you guys have mentioned a couple of times!

I have basically only come here because I smell blood in the water, and I’m really annoyed by some of my favorite subs still being privated. But at the same time I recognize that what that sack of human waste at the head of Reddit is doing rn is enforcing a dictatorship.

This site for now is, at least compared to many other mainstream social networks, very rough and unintuitive. And this really doesn’t help to grow the number of potential users, considering the overwhelming majority of people using social network nowadays is 10 times even more casual than I am

But, there’s a butt. This change from Reddit to the Fediverse is necessary. Maybe not now or in six months, but I can already see myself relieved in the future because I had already started dipping my toes in other sites.

Also while I’m not an expert I recognize the technical advantages offered by the Fediverse compared to Reddit, all thanks to a devoted and positive community.

Time will tell, but for now I’ll openly admit to play both sides

It’s the only alternative so far which hides on opening comments and upvoting which is Big for me.

Also using the Memmy app to post this and it feels great - so yeah, here to stay!

If there's a good enough android app then yeah I will stick around. It is in my view the better reddit. Just needs more communities.

I'm trying to but honestly its got so many problems.

• I often see random post appear on top because I'm guessing its a web socket connection and a recently post top decks due to the algorithm. It sometimes causes me to click on the wrong post.

• On the topic of wrong posts I often click on a post and get a different post than the one selected as though there is conflicting Id's.

• The back button is stopped by a dirty wisywig but it does not trigger an alert for loss of information so its effectively just disabled if your abandoning the post.

• The votes seems to randomly fluctuate.

• having to confirm a reply as read is super annoying.

• When I come to lemmy I have to change to top day or something otherwise I see the same posts over and over and there seems to be no way to set a different default

I will say that I am a software developer and happy to help fix some of these issues. At the moment because of federation I am unsure where to contribute but I definitely see no path forward for lemmy while these issues persist.

Part of the crew, part of the ship

I'm liking it so far!

So far no reason to not to stay and see how community develop

I want to. But in all honesty, it depends on how much of the communities I'm used to migrate here as well. Right now my typical reddit content is mostly missing here. It has potential, but like any other social media site, it depends on the community and the content. I'm hopeful though, I think reddit is in its final days either way.

Yes. More and more content every day, no corporate overlords to appease, and best of all so far the community has been significantly more friendly.

I was already on lemmy dammit

That is the goal, yes. One thing I've noticed is that the relative scarcity of posts here, especially news, has me frequenting a lot of news sites directly. Which I think is a good thing. Of course, one can't expect Lemmy to rival Reddit's content and engagement from the get go. We'll see where the platform is headed in the future.

Probably, if lemmy become searchable in generic search engine. The one thing that made reddit great is searching a keyword + reddit, and most likely you'll find others who haved reviewed, discussed, fix, experience, what i'm searching before. So far can't do it with lemmy.

First comment here, but yes. Reddit has shown zero interesting in responding to community feedback about the API changes and u/spez is a complete waste of oxygen.

When people look up things on google, they specifically look for a solution posted on reddit, I know I do. Lemmy needs to be used as a way for people to solve problems, before it can take over what reddit is used for now. I'm staying on Lemmy because I like the idea of a functioning reddit alternative.

Time will tell. Digg was great until it wasn't. Reddit killing my favorite app of 10+ years can fuck off (long live Bacon Reader). Lemmy by design is fragmented which is great, but will introduce momentum problems. Really it's going to come done to; Is their a Lemmy app and server that I can encapsulate most of my interests into and be able to ignore the rest?
