I haven’t missed Reddit once since I started using Lemmy. This place is a vibe.
There’s a lot less inflammatory content. Sure, the occasional, “X tech company is screwing you over in a new way,” but nothing like Reddit’s vitriol.
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.

Does thou feel it now, Mr. Krabs?
yes SpongeBob I’m feeling it now lol
Truth. There’s a nice, positive vibe here.
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.
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
Only thing I’m missing is all of my dedicated subreddits to information I like consuming.
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.

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.
and we’re all here thanks to Reddit. They ham-handed the whole thing, pissed everyone off, caused account deletions and user migrations and now can’t admit that there’s mud on their face. Who needs ‘em?
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.
It would be much better without the constant references to Reddit

I wonder if the same thing happened during the digg migration.
It did. This is normal and expected.
ghost pains at the site of amputation
This is quite clever
mfw Lemmy is just metal gear solid phantom pain
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!!
That photo of The Hoff is pure gold.
Let’s try our best to keep this same energy going forward!
If you have an iPhone I suggest you try
memmyapplication, it’s great !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.

soooo much better
I use all the tools I can. Reddit has a great community in a lot of subreddits that are extremely helpful. So are many standalone forums for the topics I enjoy. Lemmy is just another option for great content. I prefer Lemmy to Reddit as a platform, but the content - I really don’t care where it’s hosted as long as it’s free (free as in freedom of information, not just cost).
Reddit’s gone to shit, but I’ll still hit those SysAdmin and other subs for information. Too valuable not to.
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.
