I could never even get into Reddit. I couldn't post because I didn't have karma so it was useless to me.
I'm doing my best to transfer anything I found enjoyable on Reddit to Lemmy.World immediately. It will take some time.
I'm exactly two weeks in, and I LOVE it! all the reddit fiasco was exactly what I needed to wake me up out of my shitty comfort zone. landing on lemmy was really confusing and strange at first, but now I feel like I'm part of something that is developing and growing in the right direction, with all the quirks and hardship that's part of it. it's great, and the wave of people who are coming in, plus the development of apps.. it all feels really pioneering. wefwef is great and liftoff as well. everything is becoming more friendly by the hour & updates.
I've been using lemmy for a couple of weeks now and it's going pretty good. I recently setup a second account on a smaller instance because lemmy.world became often laggy.
I've tried jerboa, liftoff, and took a look at wefwef but I'd prefer an application instead of a webpage. Ofthe three I'd say I like liftoff the best but none of the apps/sites I've tried have all the features I want.
There's a chance that Slide (my preferred reddit app) is going to be repurposed for lemmy so hopefully that pans out. I'll try sync as well when it'sreleased.
Coming from Brave to Wefwef was actually easier than I thought, so good so far!
I've been cheating a little bit and going on libreddit but still logging in to interact and help lemmy grow! Still haven't found an app I like (wefwef has been a bit buggy with refresh) but I'm sure that'll come.
I deleted my Reddit account on June 11th, so just over 3 weeks ago, and I don't miss it. Lemmy is doing a perfectly fine job filling that void. I'm quite happy here.
I like wefwef the best so far (though it's currently broken for me) and Memmy is a close second. :)
I like Summit best of the three apps I've tried (Lemmy and Thunder being the other two). It's a pretty bare bones layout and style of navigation, which I prefer.
As for missing reddit, well... it seems like most of the community spirit/attitude was slipping away following the API changes. I'm hoping to find it again here and I like what I see so far!
