I haven’t missed Reddit once since I started using Lemmy. This place is a vibe.
Some of that real fediverse freedom
Truth. There’s a nice, positive vibe here.
Getting there. Just not active enough for me yet. I need go be able to scroll a unhealthy amount all day long dammit :(
But it's a much better community.
Try the new feed on a few different instances. I personally run a server that has seeded new for me.
Why (how?) is doing "all" view sorted by new different than what you are suggesting?
Not all communities are synced, some are defederated.
Only thing I’m missing is all of my dedicated subreddits for information I like consuming.
I don't understand why people are grasping so desperately onto reddit. This platform is young but already superior in most ways to reddit.
Also, I firmly believe that federation is the perfect environment for something like reddit and this is what we should have gotten in the first place instead of what reddit became.

Probably people either aren’t drawing a line or don’t care or have been replaced with bots.
Lol Reddit was a great news mediator when respected but has become unwieldy.
The old memes and posts about a dude not wanting to poop for 3 days has given me pure joy.
But everyone here has also been really great, and I've had no shortage of posts and comments to interact with.
It's definitely turned me from a lurker to a commenter 😅
Same here. I mostly lurked on Reddit but there's just such a good vibe going here, I think I will be commenting more.
Literally same. People are too calm here maybe ;)
Feels like Reddit way back in the day, honestly.
I’m talking like 17 years ago way back.
Loving it! So much fun, silly content!
And just think... in a mere 17 years we can revolt against the fediverse and move on to the next greatest thing to feel these feelings again!
2040, the year the fediverse was taken over by the Humongous Language Model.
I've honestly been impressed with how fast Lemmy has improved both in terms of technical implementation as well as the quality of the site overall. Memmy has also impressed me with how quickly it is improving as well.
Just made this account, been lurking for a couple weeks. Chill vibes in here, and yeah things are impressively smooth.
I'm in this picture and I like it
It’s like Reddit, but from 10-12 years ago. And I dig it.
Exactly! I have a 15 year old Reddit account. Lemmy feels like old Reddit when it was new and fresh. I ain't going anywhere!!
I’ll be honest, I have not weened myself 100% off Reddit just yet. However, I notice with each passing day since Reddit sabotaged third party apps that I am opening and scrolling through Memmy first and more often than I am doing with Narwhal. So while I have not left Reddit behind just yet, leaving it behind is getting easier by the day as more people start coming over to Lemmy and is becoming more active.
Personally I prefer how on Reddit you can get really specific communities. Like for tsundere sharks, or bread stapled to trees.
Give it some time, user count is still tiny compared to Reddit so obviously niche content will be less common at first. But it's growing rapidly, I've not even been here a week and every day it feels more alive.
Yeah, actually people and communities look less toxic but I guess that would soon change.
My experience is that it's 95% of the way there and has the potential to do it all. I think Lemmy needs time to coalesce as a thing and for defacto groups to emerge that replace the ones over on Reddit.
I'm participating more, and I'm getting lurkers joining communities I've made and upvoting at least. Soon we'll have a thriving social site.
I use all the tools I can. Reddit has a great community in a lot of subreddits that are extremely helpful. So are many standalone forums for the topics I enjoy. Lemmy is just another option for great content. I prefer Lemmy to Reddit as a platform, but the content - I really don't care where it's hosted as long as it's free (free as in freedom of information, not just cost).
Reddit's gone to shit, but I'll still hit those SysAdmin and other subs for information. Too valuable not to.
Let’s try our best to keep this same energy going forward!
Lemmy is one chill af mofo 🤙
I feel seen.
