    The servers (instances) aspect and different communities (forums on topics) on different servers and servers blocking others, is a mess if I’m being honest. It’s the biggest flaw. I still find it hard to find communities of topics I want…

    So far really confusing. But honestly I didn’t use reddit for 4 years despite having an account because I couldn’t figure out how to even begin and I only got it going thanks to boost and my spouse (no one else I know is/was on reddit). So I have hopes that over time it will sort itself out and I will have figured out how this works. Let’s see if I can even post this comment.

    It’s OK so far but I think I’ll be more engaged when Sync for Lemmy launches. The UI isn’t streamlined enough and I would like to stumble on communities by accident but I’m not sure if it’s possible.

    It is OK. Performance is a bit bumpy (expected) and communities are a lot quieter, but it is much much nicer here. Reddit is filled with absolute morons who scream SOURCE!!! every time they see a joke or opinion which doesn’t allign with their belief that children standing 8na. School yard deserved to die because they have the right to drive angiant car

    I use wefwef and it works basically like Apollo did. The entire lemmy site is a fairly good replacement for Reddit. There are some sections where there is no one, but hopefully with time that will fix itself.

    I’m enjoying it a lot, but I am concerned about it’s staying power. Systems like Lemmy need continual engagement and growth, and I worry about the complexity being a barrier to entry compared to other services like twitter or Reddit.

    Currently I use Connect Lemmy for Android as with Jerboa there was a login issue when the server version wouldn’t match. Not sure if this app is more resilient to this but it wasn’t a good start. I couldn’t use Lemmy properly for about a week or two. I also don’t like that Lemmy is hard to search for new SubLemmy or search for results via Google. Before I just added “Reddit” to get the good results, I wonder how this will evolve if Lemmy gets bigger. Well and the whole kbing/Lemmy/mastodon link of the Fedyverse is really confusing for new people.

    I like it! More exposure, one or two good apps for Android/ iOS, and I’m sure it can be a better Reddit in a few months.

    Garbage servers, garbage content, and this place is filled with neive privacy advocacy with zero plans to make this place survive.

    Unless someone steps up and starts a non profit and starts to take this shit seriously I’ll be on threads once the client has more features.

    I like it a lot. Obviously, content is lacking. But that is up to us to fix. The general fediverse capabilities are fantastic, but still a tad too confusing for newbies (from which communities can I see content, which communities can I see etc.) and take a while to figure out. Apps are already great. General UI is great as well.

    For now, not great. It’s annoying to have 99% of my feed taken up by posts like this one. I don’t care about Lemmy, reddit, or any other related sites. I’d like to just find some actual content thanks.

    I find it refreshing, for the most part. I’ve found that comments and replies are much more civil, I’m still getting used to the way users here disagree with actual reasoning while maintening respect for the other perspective. I had ads blocked before, but being absolutely ad free, without even the blank space where an ad would go is even better. The only downside is the amount of space dedicated to complaining about reddit. I don’t wish to stop anyone from processing in whatever way they need, I just need to spend more time in my subscriptions instead of “all”.
