Lemmy has gotten a bit slower, but the mobile app experience has gotten significantly better. I only go to reddit for one specific subreddit. Other then that, I'm full blown decentralized, except for my friends who still use discord.

I'm new to Lemmy, migrated here as of June 30. So since then I've been learning where to avoid reading comments. Basically just stop reading if I see enough toxicity.

But overall I like Lemmy, it still give me decent news to keep me somewhat up to date like reddit used to.

On kbin myself, but the amount of spam and bot posts is off-putting. It's worse if I'm following the same community on multiple instances. I'll have the same exact spam post show up multiple times in my feed because it was posted on multiple instances. There seems to be little in the way of moderation. Still browse here and appreciate it but I hope it improves in the future.

Also experiencing a bug where some long posts or comments will not expand making them unreadable.

So far better, more people actually chat, and Lemmy.world goes down less

It seems to be more active than the first time that I made a lemmy account. I'm looking forward to some of my favored subreddits making the switch.

It's gotten better for me, since the mobile apps available have gotten better. Initially I was using the website on mobile which felt clunky and filtering options aren't great. But now with apps like Connect I'm able to curate instances and communities I see more easily, so it's a more focused experienced than the default I had before. Apps really do make a difference. If these type of apps had been more mature in the beginning it would have helped initial adoption and retention.

Why can't I downvote!?

Recently links have started working in-app instead of sending me out to access lemmy through firefox. But it is still next to impossible to link someone else to a place, you need to know a lot of new stuff.

Not that I would want to. There is still very little interesting content, it is almost all yank-oriented, with occasional input from Europeans. The euro input is nice, but doesn't relate much to Oz, it's more relatable than the stuff made and commented on by Americans, that's all.

It's fun, but like looking through a window at someone elses social area. It isn't homelike by a longshot. And if I ever mention this, all the yanks stacks-on by calling me a c**t, which is actually rude to someone you don't have a long term positive relationship with of a very specific agegroup, and causes me to leave their community because it was rude.

All in all, not really bothered if Lemmy doesn't succeed, but hopeful it might evolve one day.
