Meta (lemm.ee)

Love it! It's like food truck version of reddit. The apps are now right next to each other on my phone

What app are you guys using on Android? Jerboa?

I feel like I'm in/on a space ship an communicating with other ships in the fleet.

Digging it... Finally took the plunge, joined, and started learning how this all works just a little while ago and it's definitely familiar and feels like the right replacement.

I'm also convinced after what little time I've been here that it's going to grow like crazy sooner or later.

I was shocked that you could talk openly about Piracy and other naughty things. Jerboa has been a bit hit or miss and I am still at a loss on how to join another server's community from thier New Community announcement thread.

I like it but for some reason it won't let me create a community but other than that it already better than reddit, no karma farming, bots, or only fans

Just joined, and I'm curious to see how it compares. I'm still trying to figure out how to add the equivalent of subrexxits (communities?) to my stream here. Wondering if there seems to be a void, should I just create one, add some stuff, and wait for those that are more knowledgeable/active to come and play? Kind of an "if you build it they will come" kind of thing?

I'm still browsing and learning how lemmy works. So far I'm quite happy. Reminds me of the old days lol But just figuring out how to find interests and such when I have a min, reading things that interest me. The breath of fresh air from Reddit has been amazing honestly. Didn't realize how toxic it was until I came here

Lemmy itself seems fine reading wise. The main issues I have with it are that the communities are spread to thin with everyone making their own niche communities that have little to no activity and thousands of 0 comment posts. Wouldnt be that bad except the sort options for lemmy seem to not work that great and I dont want to spend the time curating from an every changing list of communities just to propagate my feed... because at this point it seems like a waste with servers federating and unfederating. The 3 main servers I tried sofar have been unfederated from the largest gaming community of lemmy which makes them almost useless to me.

Lemmy still needs a lot of work to be a good replacement for reddit. Better sorting options would go a long way and maybe allowing each server to have a "home page" that lists their own curated and popular communities as a home page.

I was actually hesitant at first, because I didn't know of a good alternative. Then, there's Lemmy that I've heard of. Since lemmy.world has been compromised, I chose this server. I still haven't escaped Reddit fully. However, the fact the board at Reddit Inc. accepted and implemented the new API pricing made my decision to come to Lemmy quicker.

I've always primarily lurked on reddit. I don't usually say anything unless I have something to add and by the time a post makes it to the front page who is going to see it anyway? So I'm trying to participate more which is new for me. Besides that I've had a little trouble with jerboa but I'm chocking that up to growing pains. But so far so good and I'm looking forward to watching lemmy and lemm.ee grow and thrive.

So far so good! It’s been cool to see activity slowly pick up over the last few days

I’m on iOS beta testing the Mlem app and that’s already improved a lot over the last few days, too.

I’m really optimistic about Lemmy, it feels like cool things are happening here!

It seems a lot quieter. But in a nice way. Like, city centre shopping vs village store.

People seem a bit nicer.

And, there's a greater sense of optimism here. About everything.

How the hell do you sub to places on other fediverses? It says to paste [email protected] into whatever in lemm.ee, no results

I'm loving my experience here, it really feels like I'm a part of something special that's happening.

I've not found anyone to be unhelpful, it's a really great community & I'm so greatful to be a part of it!

Thanks to everyone for making this place amazing!

The only downside is how small the communities are in comparison to their subreddit counterparts. I'm afraid that Reddit might be able to keep coasting on numbers alone for long enough to recover and ultimately overshadow this service... But it's a great alternative, and I for one will not be leaving even if they reverse their API decisions.
