I want to stay, but I need more of what I used to read available on here, and an iOS app similar to Apollo

Lemmy think about it.

I'm giving it a try since I'm a bit annoyed that some of my regular subreddits are still blacked out, even though it's clear spez has his fingers stuck in his ears and his head stuck a mile deep up his ass. As someone who exclusively uses reddit in browser and doesn't run any bots, the API drama doesn't move me too much, and now I just want things there to return to normal.

That said, I'm totally sold on the idea of the fediverse, so I'll probably stick around now that I've taken the step of signing up here. Though I'm not about to abandon reddit completely just yet.

Lemmy's web frontend definitely is a bit bloated and janky for my taste. It's a beta version, bugs are to be expected. But I'd much prefer a lightweight frontend with a compact layout and minimal javascript, more like old reddit.

Yes

Yes

Leaving Reddit for sure. Lemmy is top candidate right now.

Yea, probably, the default reddit app is so bad the site is barely usable. Unfortunately lemmy's android app has a good gui but it's so buggy, like after the last update I can't even go to all or subscribed anymore, it just goes back to local. At least I can browse lemmy on my phone browser.

It depends on the content & communities I can find here and how well things function here. So far the lack of content I'm interested in has been my main issue with Lemmy, but otherwise it seems like a fine place to be.

Yeah it is pretty nice. I like the simplicity of the interface. I am still trying to figure it all out, and figure out why even when im "sorted" to most comments, but after a few seconds brand new posts begin popping up at the top.

If i can get the "home" and "all" views from reddit i would be very happy

If there's a good enough android app then yeah I will stick around. It is in my view the better reddit. Just needs more communities.

I'm trying to but honestly its got so many problems.

• I often see random post appear on top because I'm guessing its a web socket connection and a recently post top decks due to the algorithm. It sometimes causes me to click on the wrong post.

• On the topic of wrong posts I often click on a post and get a different post than the one selected as though there is conflicting Id's.

• The back button is stopped by a dirty wisywig but it does not trigger an alert for loss of information so its effectively just disabled if your abandoning the post.

• The votes seems to randomly fluctuate.

• having to confirm a reply as read is super annoying.

• When I come to lemmy I have to change to top day or something otherwise I see the same posts over and over and there seems to be no way to set a different default

I will say that I am a software developer and happy to help fix some of these issues. At the moment because of federation I am unsure where to contribute but I definitely see no path forward for lemmy while these issues persist.

Yep! This place is great!

Absolutely! This place is fantastic!

I'm liking it so far!

Maybe, it seems cool. Still got alot to learn. Like why am I seeing stuff I'm not subscribed to when I filter by subscribed. At this point I don't know if it's a problem with the app, the instance or what. But I'll learn I'm sure.

So far no reason to not to stay and see how community develop

First comment here, but yes. Reddit has shown zero interesting in responding to community feedback about the API changes and u/spez is a complete waste of oxygen.

Yes. More and more content every day, no corporate overlords to appease, and best of all so far the community has been significantly more friendly.

Yes. 13 year former reddit user. Haven't been on reddit for about two weeks.

Also, fyi, there will be a response bias that i suspect will favor those who think they will stay on lemmy in this poll.

It's a no-brainer. I was an early addict of Usenet, and never found the same utility and community when everyone left for the bright shiny corporate sites (and usenet became harder and harder to access since it wasn't making any billionaires richer.) The Fediverse is what is needed to take the internet back. I just feel bad that it took me so long to start. I joined Mastodon in January and am a thousand times more active there than I ever was at the birdsite, because my account is growing and morphing to fit MY needs. The same will happen with Lemmy and Kbin, and I hope with peertube and all the others. I keep saying it...the Fediverse is what we should have been doing all along, rather than tolerating the billionaires because it was "convenient".

I'm staying. I haven't liked reddit for a while now.

yes

yes

but why not make a stawpoll out of it?

Yes

Absolutely

I like it here and I don't like it anywhere else.

Absolutely, this is my new home.

I'm staying here on Lemmy, this platform seems like it has much more promise than Reddit and centralized platforms like Reddit.

Don't get me wrong platforms like squabbles are cool and all but in the end they're not federated and that means they're going to end up meeting very similar if not the same fate as Reddit itself is meeting right now.

Yes, after Boost for reddit stops working.

Once my reddit app stops working I won't have a choice but to find a new home. Subreddits are burning in ways that can't be easily reversed and will take years to naturally grow back.

As long as I can find news and memes, I will stay here.

Probably. It would be nice to be able to select a more compact view - it feels like there's a lot of wasted screen real estate with the current look.
