I mainly hop on there to check my news/politics multireddit. Hoping we get a similar functionality on here soon. It also helps that my reddit app (Relay) still has API access, and by opening an nsfw subreddit I now have nsfw content from the API again as well.

I am still following some notebook/fountainpen /journaling subs that I miss here. And some subs about Christianity.
Nothing, I don't use it
I'm in a couple of communities of people that I like.
Some of the more niche communities that Reddit has wouldn't be easily replicated here.
I didn't download the official app, though.
Fiction.
Nothing eheh
r/php basically, there's nowhere else (AFAIK) to have a good conversation about php that is not just asking for help. But I use it only on my PC and not on an app (I'm not installing that spyware), so I don't spend much time there.
Jerboa is giving me network errors still
Likely because lemmy.ml is having issues with load. I switched over from lemmy.world which was having similar issues and no problems so far. It's super snappy.
Just a couple of health-related subs that havenβt fully migrated. I donβt particularly want to use Reddit, but I get more value from lore passed down woman-to-woman than I do from doctors who want to attribute everything to ~~hysteria~~ anxiety and depression.
My work subreddit, as we are going through industrial action and it's the main communication hub. So it's useful to keep updated.
Fan communities and general reddit. I've only ever used the web UI, so the API changes don't have as direct an effect on me, even if they suck. I doubt I'll ever abandon it completely. Adoring Lemmy so far, though! Looking forward to a nice, stable app to use in the future, since the web ui on lemm.ee is a little meh.
Unfortunately only content. I spent some time subscribing to similar Lemmy communities that I had on Reddit and many of them just don't have the content yet and I can't exactly generate it alone.
You could make the absolute best software platform (not saying Lemmy is it, it's somewhat buggy), but if people don't adopt it, it won't succeed.
The "winner" is often not the best platform either. WhatsApp is popular but kinda shit, same for Instagram, Tiktok etc. Threads might win over Mastodon for a Twitter replacement, just because it comes from a huge entity like Meta and people can use their existing accounts.
Unlike Twitter, Reddit has not yet fallen off the deep end where using it on e.g old Reddit on desktop computer is a terrible experience. I think the upcoming months will show if replacing mods etc ends up biting it in the ass.
With Boost finally closing, I am without Reddit on my phone. I'll have to see if losing the "let's browse Reddit a bit on my phone because I'm bored" option does good things for my mental health and daily life overall.
Is it possible to view/use real reddit subreddits in a Lemmy app? (I have thunder and jerboa installed)
Reddit subs still have RSS. You can use an RSS reader. I do not have Thunder. I don't think Jerboa has that capability.
