I think the answers you will get from users who are on lemmy will tend to be positive 😁
Our voluntary survey shows that 95% of people who participated in it don’t mind participating in surveys.
The other 5% were furious
I don’t know sir or madam; my wife will suggest food she doesn’t want for dinner.
When my wife asks me what I want for dinner, my mind doesn’t go to what I want to eat, it goes to what I’m willing to cook.
It’s kind of a dumb question. Everyone who doesn’t like it just leaves immediately. That’s like going to a Detroit Red WIngs game and asking the crowd who their favorite hockey team in the state is.
“Dumb” is too strong a word for the way the questions were worded. I know some users here are on Tildes as well, or Squabble (idk if that’s how you spell it). Doesn’t mean lemmy is THE alternative - just one of many minor ones. Also, being on lemmy doesn’t mean you’re not thinking of moving away specially with Meta’s arrival.
Ok, I guess I could see that. I’ve just not felt the need to use other link aggregators, but Mastodon and Pixelfed have been a cool experience for me so far.
I’m looking for Reddit alternatives and so far Lemmy does a fairly decent job.
I’m hoping to recapture the old Reddit feel where there was enough content but not so many users where everything just turned into drama or a flame war in the comment section. So far Lemmy seems fairly slow with content but that’s probably a good thing for me, I shouldn’t be using this stuff to fill my time as much.
The changes in the sorting method has helped, but I agree. I am not sure if it’s a sorting issue or content issue. However, I have blocked like 6 meme shitposting comms, because it was annoying as shit.

I feel your pain. lmao. I haven’t blocked any, though. But during the beans shitposting period I almost blocked a few.
I’m still getting a feel for how all of this works together, so I haven’t bothered blocking any communities yet. Were you just seeing those while browsing Local/All? I tend to stick to Subscribed unless I’m going adventuring for new stuff.
I browse Subs and then when that is all old posts I’ll hit All.
Meta is a twitter replacement not reddit if I went over there I wouldn’t leave lemmy
LGRW!!
while it’s a nice echo chamber, its still and echo chamber lol
Yah unfortunately it feels like its even more of one than reddit is/was
But I still plan on sticking it out here since reddit was kinda an addiction of mine that I’m glad to have broken
I guess yes, it can be kind of biased indeed ^^ but interesting to hear your opinions anyway
I considered setting up kbin but Lemmy looked easier and has apps.
At this point I like Lemmy more than I’ve ever liked Reddit. I tried Raddle too and it was fine but I prefer Lemmy.
So far I’m happy with it. There is less mindless content to scroll but the quality of content is much better.
1:1 complete replacement - been very happy with Lemmy and Fediverse so far
So far it is satiating that Reddit itch that I require scratched. Honestly, I would love if Reddit fired Spez and walked back his shit, and if that happened I’d return to my 15yr old account. I don’t know if it will happen, and if it doesn’t this is my new home.
Like it so far, not looking for anything else.
I won’t let something as important as my favorite communities to fall in corporate greed.
I think it’s an excellent reddit replacement and it gets better every time i check. More and more people posting. I am also using Mastodon. I am all for the fediverse tbh. I don’t want my data to be collected by one large corporation anymore.
yes :3
Yeah, I’m pretty happy here. It’s nice and close knit and not full of shit. Kbin also seems cool but needs a bit more time in the oven and an app to really be useful to me.
Actually I didn’t think I’d move away from reddit but since I found lemmy I have to activelly think about going to reddit to read something there. Most of the communities I already found here and suprisingly, I’m not really missing the ones which I thought I’d miss.
I really like it. The community is also really cool. More like a small town feel than a huge city like reddit. I hope I don’t have to move anytime soon.
Welcome to what Reddit used to be
Between this and Mastodon - which feels like the best parts of early Twitter (way before Musk ever was in the picture) - I feel like I’ve turned back the clock about 15-20 years in the best way possible.
Now if only this made me 15-20 years younger…
My knees have the same request
I’m pretty comfy here.
So far Lemmy is my new home! I like it here.
I like it, it is kind of like Reddit, but confusingly different. But I am not looking for anything else currently.
Really enjoying lemmy at the moment. I feel at home.
