I haven’t missed Reddit once since I started using Lemmy. This place is a vibe.

Tbf, I have a slight feeling the users here might have a FOSS bend at a higher clip, so that perspective is to be expected.
I know because I’m one of these guys. Insert any tech company in for X and I’ll have something to grumble about after a few beers 😅
I’d grumble about any tech company before any beer, afterwards it will be an uncontrollable rant xD
Yeah? Well you’re an idiot.
Since we’re bringing back ancient memes:

Does thou feel it now, Mr. Krabs?

Truth. There’s a nice, positive vibe here.
Some of that real fediverse freedom
Getting there. Just not active enough for me yet. I need go be able to scroll a unhealthy amount all day long dammit :(
But it’s a much better community.
Try the new feed on a few different instances. I personally run a server that has seeded new for me.
Why (how?) is doing “all” view sorted by new different than what you are suggesting?
Not all communities are synced, some are defederated.
Only thing I’m missing is all of my dedicated subreddits for information I like consuming.
The order of sorting by hot is a bit getting used to, and the reports in different communities is some getting used to also.
And seeing a lot of posts in hot without any comments
I don’t understand why people are grasping so desperately onto reddit. This platform is young but already superior in most ways to reddit.
Also, I firmly believe that federation is the perfect environment for something like reddit and this is what we should have gotten in the first place instead of what reddit became.

Probably people either aren’t drawing a line or don’t care or have been replaced with bots.
Lol Reddit was a great news mediator when respected but has become unwieldy.
Feels like Reddit way back in the day, honestly.
I’m talking like 17 years ago way back.
Loving it! So much fun, silly content!
And just think… in a mere 17 years we can revolt against the fediverse and move on to the next greatest thing to feel these feelings again!
2040, the year the fediverse was taken over by the Humongous Language Model.
It’s definitely turned me from a lurker to a commenter 😅
Same here. I mostly lurked on Reddit but there’s just such a good vibe going here, I think I will be commenting more.
Literally same. People are too calm here maybe ;)

I’ve honestly been impressed with how fast Lemmy has improved both in terms of technical implementation as well as the quality of the site overall. Memmy has also impressed me with how quickly it is improving as well.
Just made this account, been lurking for a couple weeks. Chill vibes in here, and yeah things are impressively smooth.
The old memes and posts about a dude not wanting to poop for 3 days has given me pure joy.
But everyone here has also been really great, and I’ve had no shortage of posts and comments to interact with.
Let’s try our best to keep this same energy going forward!
I’m in this picture and I like it
I’ll be honest, I have not weened myself 100% off Reddit just yet. However, I notice with each passing day since Reddit sabotaged third party apps that I am opening and scrolling through Memmy first and more often than I am doing with Narwhal. So while I have not left Reddit behind just yet, leaving it behind is getting easier by the day as more people start coming over to Lemmy and is becoming more active.

Agreed, at that point is probably when I’ll cut myself off for good from Reddit.
My experience is that it’s 95% of the way there and has the potential to do it all. I think Lemmy needs time to coalesce as a thing and for defacto groups to emerge that replace the ones over on Reddit.
It’s like Reddit, but from 10-12 years ago. And I dig it.
Exactly! I have a 15 year old Reddit account. Lemmy feels like old Reddit when it was new and fresh. I ain’t going anywhere!!
Yeah, actually people and communities look less toxic but I guess that would soon change.
Ay! Hope for the best and maybe it won’t!
I like how you accidentally replied four times and people upvoted all of them.

Lol maybe cuz I’m on an app
Yeah, could be. But in any case, I upvoted all of them as well. Cheers!
Ay! Hope for the best and maybe it won’t!

It would be much better without the constant references to Reddit

ghost pains at the site of amputation
This is quite clever
I wonder if the same thing happened during the digg migration.
It did. This is normal and expected.
mfw Lemmy is just metal gear solid phantom pain
Lemmy talks about Reddit like its an recent ex.
Yo is that the Hasselhoff??

How could anyone hate on someone who has such unparalleled-in-history smash hits like “Jump in my car”? :)
