I like Lemmy, it's nice not having ads on here or feeling like posts are taken over by shills/bots. But the flip side of that is it feels a bit too small to get any interesting conversation, especially about anything niche or local.
I really miss my old reddit communities. I've stopped using reddit completely but Lemmy hasn't filled that hole for me.
Pretty good, though I'm not mainly using Lemmy directly. I run a Kbin instance that I've been using primarily, but I've also been testing Artemis with the developer's artemis.camp instance, and I have Infinity for Lemmy signed into my lemmy.world account.
There's less content here than on Reddit, but I think it's higher quality. There's less trolling and shitposting here (unless seeking it out on purpose then there's plenty).
I don't think I'm on my phone as much but I do miss /r/BlackPeopleTwitter. I bet the posts about the Montgomery Brawl we're top notch.
Not very good. Many communities are just too small for any meaningful stuff, the UI is ugly, the software's buggy, and Lemmy (and tbh, the whole Fediverse) sometimes feels like a political echo chamber, only favoring a certain side.
I'm on Voyager (via the app store) and it is wonderful (and free)!
I agree that some communities are quite empty, but I found that the techn savy communities are quite large and well maintained (selfhosted, linux and such).
Although the read is arguably shorter, i have more time in my day as a result of that. Not missing reddit at all ATM.
I installed Voyager yesterday, I can't log in
I like the ui myself, and some of the apps are absolutely beautiful, I get you on the lack of engagement though, I've actually gone back and opened up a reddit account for this reason, I still love Lemmy and I'm certainly not giving up hope yet, but sometimes I just need more..
Successful! A full reddit replacement!
The cons is the Sync app (or maybe it's deeper), comments seem to be under the wrong parent threads?
To be fair it's still in beta and that's a known issue, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
