I’ve had a great time here. The people on the various communities I’ve joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven’t encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.

I’ve had really cool conversations and I haven’t been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.

What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.

People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.

I’m excited to see your experience as well?

I’m really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D

    I was actually hesitant at first, because I didn’t know of a good alternative. Then, there’s Lemmy that I’ve heard of. Since lemmy.world has been compromised, I chose this server. I still haven’t escaped Reddit fully. However, the fact the board at Reddit Inc. accepted and implemented the new API pricing made my decision to come to Lemmy quicker.

    It seems a lot quieter. But in a nice way. Like, city centre shopping vs village store.

    People seem a bit nicer.

    And, there’s a greater sense of optimism here. About everything.

    I like it but for some reason it won’t let me create a community but other than that it already better than reddit, no karma farming, bots, or only fans

    I was shocked that you could talk openly about Piracy and other naughty things. Jerboa has been a bit hit or miss and I am still at a loss on how to join another server’s community from thier New Community announcement thread.

    Digging it… Finally took the plunge, joined, and started learning how this all works just a little while ago and it’s definitely familiar and feels like the right replacement.

    I’m also convinced after what little time I’ve been here that it’s going to grow like crazy sooner or later.

    Just joined, and I’m curious to see how it compares. I’m still trying to figure out how to add the equivalent of subrexxits (communities?) to my stream here. Wondering if there seems to be a void, should I just create one, add some stuff, and wait for those that are more knowledgeable/active to come and play? Kind of an “if you build it they will come” kind of thing?

    Lemmy itself seems fine reading wise. The main issues I have with it are that the communities are spread to thin with everyone making their own niche communities that have little to no activity and thousands of 0 comment posts. Wouldnt be that bad except the sort options for lemmy seem to not work that great and I dont want to spend the time curating from an every changing list of communities just to propagate my feed… because at this point it seems like a waste with servers federating and unfederating. The 3 main servers I tried sofar have been unfederated from the largest gaming community of lemmy which makes them almost useless to me.

    Lemmy still needs a lot of work to be a good replacement for reddit. Better sorting options would go a long way and maybe allowing each server to have a “home page” that lists their own curated and popular communities as a home page.

    So far so good! It’s been cool to see activity slowly pick up over the last few days

    I’m on iOS beta testing the Mlem app and that’s already improved a lot over the last few days, too.

    I’m really optimistic about Lemmy, it feels like cool things are happening here!

    I’m still browsing and learning how lemmy works. So far I’m quite happy. Reminds me of the old days lol But just figuring out how to find interests and such when I have a min, reading things that interest me. The breath of fresh air from Reddit has been amazing honestly. Didn’t realize how toxic it was until I came here

    I think Lemmy definitely has potential, but I feel like the biggest obstacle for mass adopters will be the sign up process. I personally felt a bit of choice overload when picking which instance to sign up on, especially considering how many of them are the exact same. Now that I’m in, though, I definitely feel more at home than I do with Mastodon and Kbin. I’m excited to see where this goes
