more niche / specific communities are just starting here but on reddit they’re already thriving. I’ll visit reddit from time to time to keep up with the latest thing in those, though my time there has been cut significantly.
in other hand, I really wish we could stop with reddit-related questions in this community… ask those in /c/reddit instead
me too. But, since the API policy begins. Double posting, ad spamming, irrelevant contents, bots within several subs appears on my reddit home feeds and it is still in acceptable level though. if this reach more than that. I might leave reddit permanently.
Jerboa is giving me network errors still
Haha, classic:
Amazing.

I’ve been using Liftoff and have really enjoyed 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.

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.
Shitposting subs that actually shitpost instead of posting regular memes. For that to happen on Lemmy we’ll need a good way of sending videos/gifs to the platform, which is gonna take a while to be implemented but eventually will
Not related to shitposting, but I miss the gifs from Reddit.
I still go on my city’s subreddit to get the latest news about my city.
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.
My saved posts
Just a couple of health-related subs that haven’t fully migrated. I don’t 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
hysteriaanxiety and depression.I promised a couple subs I mod to stay on until they find replacement mods. After browsing lemmy, the interface is downright aggravating, though.
I’ve switched to Lemmy for random browsing of memes, pop culture, and tech news.
I’m hoping Lemmy will soon be large enough that major world news events will pop up there, too.
I still go to Reddit for just a couple of niche communities. Lemmy isn’t large enough for there to be active communities about every TV show and every hobby, yet. Looking forward to when we hit that size.
Also: no rush. We’re early adopters. Lemmy has gotten a LOT better in the last month, so I’m glad that everyone didn’t rush to join it right away. I’d rather that when small communities consider migrating, they can do so and have a great experience.
Honestly the lack of video content.
Historical questions and answers to common problems, it’ll take about a decade for Lemmy to catch up. I work in IT and it’s saved my ass quite a few times
And that’s assuming Lemmy acquires anywhere near the user base reddit had. Reddit just has so much useful information that doesn’t exist elsewhere yet and will for sure take years to come close to.
Niche communities like Quake Champions and city-specific subs
