Loving it so far. Once you get used to how you connect to other instances it's a breeze.

Like you said Jerboa, is really coming along nicely and is easy to use.

Can't reysee myself using Reddit much any more tbh

Im liking Lemmy so far. It’s an adjustment and clearly the software is in its infancy, but it does not suck once one adjusts.

Having to make a new account because I wanted to see NSFW on another instance was kind of a mood killer. Not sure how that could be done better but I really don't want to be making other accounts.

It's not very active. If it doesn't improve in 3 month I'll leave

I like the jerboa app on mobile but I dislike the desktop site layout. I've used Shine for Reddit for years for the grid layout. I'm hoping someone will eventually release custom layouts to make use of all the space on desktop. The content is about the same after subscribing to lots of communities.

overall Lemmy is pretty good. Better than I expected tbh.

The communities are smaller, which feels more old-school, and it feels friendlier and more accepting. On reddit if you bought up nu-metal in the metal subreddit you'd be downvoted and harassed, here I saw someone bring up nu-metal in a metal community and people were super accepting of it. However, because of the smaller population, the more niche interests don't have a community, or if they do, there's basically no content.

The federation thing takes a second to 'get' and with it, comes problems of discoverability, but we have browse.feddit.de to help with that. The upside to the fediverse is the fact the users are in control of the platform instead of a for-profit organization make me very happy, I no longer scroll with shame, I scroll with pride.

There are pros and cons to Lemmy but the biggest cons are related to the relatively low number of users which will grow with time (I hope). Overall I'm enjoying it so far and I really hope more reddit communities make the switch

The fediverse? Meh. Beehaw? Loving it

The tankie fucks suck, for sure.

So far, I've been a Reddit user for like two to three years now, and a Lemmy user for like 3 days. It's definitely a transition, but so far, it seems to have potential. This instance's mod team is doing a good job, and the content is pretty good so far. I just need to let go of older social media habits, I guess lol.

It's been fun playing on lemmy and interacting with everyone so far. I just started up my own instance so I can leverage this fediverse thing and decentralize. Honestly having a blast with it all. The downfall of Reddit seems beneficial to all of us : )

I'm leaving behind reddit after 10 years of on and off use, in the last 5 years almost constant use. I'm happy because I feel rhus platform seems really great , I really like the layout and stye of it all. I hope to understand it better going forward

My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy

Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay

I'm still having minor issues, but they aren't deal breakers. Like, I've had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn't bother me much

Main issue I'm trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I'm using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can't see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I'm making don't show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I'm missing something
