    Noticing a lack of communities that cater to specific interests, like ones for specific video games. Most of the content I see is either porn or shitposting/memes. Hoping it continues to grow.

    I like it. Unlike a lot of comments I see, I don’t want hordes of people to come here from Reddit - I prefer to keep it smaller. Yes, it sucks that super niche communities are hard to get without tens of millions of people, but the drop in overall quality isn’t worth it.

    I’m having an easier time sticking to it and not visiting reddit than I thought I would. The first day was pretty sketchy with 90% of the posts being about Lemmy, reddit, or twitter - but since then it’s been giving a more enjoyable experience.

    It probably helps that I’m making an effort to post and comment, which I never really did on reddit.

    As Lemmy grows I’d like to see more niche communities take off, similar to how there was “a subreddit for everything”.

    I do have a big wishlist for site functionality changes though. A big sore spot is that youtube videos and text posts can’t open in-line on the front page.

    I’m loving it too- I miss a lot of subreddits and the sheer volume of content from the other site, but it feels quite special here at the moment. Also I am loving how quickly Lemmy and all of the supporting apps are developing! I am using Mlem and am very impressed. I want to like wefwef and agree that it is very similar to Apollo, but I just can’t cope with web apps.

      I think the content level has gotten better even in the past few days.

      I predict at ~200,000 users, there will be a good enough flow of posts and comments that it won’t feel as empty compared to Reddit.

    With apologies for sounding like a McDonald’s ad, I’m loving it!

    I was very wary when I switched over the day before the app-pocalypse because of my experience trying to replace twitter with Mastodon, but this place has NOT felt like yelling into the void, it’s immediately done most of what I used reddit for!

    I love it tbh. Just wish my niche communities had more people. But that just takes time

    As a long time reddit lurker. Loving it here so far.

    When I heard about it I was kind of expecting it to be contentless and bare. Oh boy was I wrong and so pleasantly surprised.

    The amount and the quality of the posts and comments is very high. The people super friendly and I’m loving the sense of community and respect. Bonding over something new and exciting also enchances this feeling.

    I also visit reddit now and then but I noticed my browsing sessions leave me more satisfied here on Lemmy, than on Reddit.

    Obviously there are some communities that I miss, but I’m sure with time replacement tor those will start to appear.

    Lemmy and the community not only fills the “gap”, but for me, it also stands by itself providing something that reddit didn’t .

    Super excited about what is being created here.

    Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.

    For me, I was a longtime lurker, so I’m trying my best to come out of my shell and actually comment and have discussions. Overall, I like it so far, I just miss some communities and don’t want to run anything myself.

    It’s fine for news, tech and memes but none of the niche subs that I loved are here. I really miss the sub for my city.

    I kinda miss Reddit, but after browsing it today, it felt kinda weird. Lemmy is starting to feel more and more like home as more people join in and participate. And also the fact that the 0.18 update fixed the numerous issues, it really helps.

    There’s tons of memes and stuff, but I was never into that, so meh. My thing was specialized nerd groups and they are mostly not here yet. With time, maybe they will come.
