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.
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.
The other 5% were furious
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
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!!
I guess yes, it can be kind of biased indeed ^^ but interesting to hear your opinions anyway
I like it here. I’m waiting for better apps/UI though
Lemmy isn’t THE reddit alternative for me. In fact, I don’t think there can be a single reddit alternative that can fill reddit’s shoes. This whole debacle was a reminder to diversify and try out different platforms.
Coming to reddit from digg, I found that I still visited slashdot after the move. Reddit’s had previous issues that has prompted people to try to migrate to other sites over the years. I joined Tildes a few years back, and before that, I was on Voat until it became clear that it was a cesspool. I also lurk occasionally on Raddle.
This migration attempt, I picked up Lemmy, and I might try a couple of other sites like Squabble. I gave up using reddit on my phone, but I still use old.reddit.com when I’m on a computer. And I still lurk on slashdot after all these years.
Having used the web before any of these sites existed, I’ve found that what’s past is prologue. There is no one size fits all, but rather a plethora of sites that host various communities.
As someone who was lurking on Reddit every day, probably not to be honest. I know a lot of people are enjoying the smaller community, but to me it just feels… empty. The bigger instances are fine, but I was never interested in the popular subreddits like r/funny or r/memes. I used reddit for things like specific games, communities that are noticeably dead on Lemmy.
I’m using Lemmy more like an intermediary step between reddit and just quitting altogether.
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.
The sports stuff is pretty empty. Team specific (my teams) are mostly dead still. So I’ve been on the corresponding SB Nation blogs more than I had for a long time. Otherwise, just here.
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.
Literally just signed up. Don’t quite get the instances thing I’ll read about that tonight but right now I’m on world which I think is the ‘big’ one?
Either way liking it so far
I split my time between Lemmy and Tildes, Lemmy is the most Reddit-like, Tildes is more of a place for contemplation and I like it a lot, but when I feel like doomscrolling a la Reddit, I go to Lemmy.
Removed by mod
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.
