I’ve had a great time here. The people on the various communities I’ve joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven’t encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.

I’ve had really cool conversations and I haven’t been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.

What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.

People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.

I’m excited to see your experience as well?

I’m really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D

    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 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

    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!

    I think Lemmy definitely has potential, but I feel like the biggest obstacle for mass adopters will be the sign up process. I personally felt a bit of choice overload when picking which instance to sign up on, especially considering how many of them are the exact same. Now that I’m in, though, I definitely feel more at home than I do with Mastodon and Kbin. I’m excited to see where this goes
