Not a fan of the UI, but I love the community here! It's the best parts of Reddit combined with the best parts of Fedi.

One thing that I'm looking for is to see where (if?) the moderation teams and content providers of existing subreddits migrate over to Lemmy/Kbin and if the Reddit userbase migrate as well and become the de-facto communities on subjects.

I guess that's part of the community aspect that Reddit harboured with the moderators - that they infer and define the culture and dynamics of their particular subreddit - and if I have the choice of three or four fediverse communities on the same topic, I can maintain some continuity by joining the one maintained by the ex-Reddit mods.

It's like leaving infant school and going to high school - amongst the hundreds of strangers, it'd be good to see a few familiar faces.

I'm still confused by the instance decentralized structure. And my feed seems chaotic. But so far I'm liking it !

It's cool, but the community needs to grow.

Enjoying it so far but there's a lot of posts about reddit and not much else for the time being.

So far, I've been a Reddit user for like two to three years now, and a Lemmy user for like 3 days. It's definitely a transition, but so far, it seems to have potential. This instance's mod team is doing a good job, and the content is pretty good so far. I just need to let go of older social media habits, I guess lol.

I've found https://browse.feddit.de to be super helpful in finding communities to join, even cross server, which is cool.

I've moved from Twitter to Mastodon and Reddit to Lemmy and am so far loving both. Even though they're taking a bit to get used to they're mostly pretty straight forward and familiar feeling in how they work. I will definitely miss certain subreddits but many of them are already here in some form or in the process of moving over. I really love the distributed model that is not at the behest of a single corporate entity or billionaire.

I love it! I'm looking around the fediverse and the options are impressive.

The fact that it will use activity pub is rather interesting to me, but I don’t have faith in that lasting long term. Eventually they’d defederate I feel or purposefully have features that only work on the Meta client making it worse for everyone else to interact with.

The learning curve is steep but I'm feeling very optimistic and excited to be a part of a new community. Reddit had been going downhill for years ( I joined in 2010).

I plan to stay no matter what reddit does next.

Wish it was easier to subscribe to communities. For some reason It hangs when I try to. But its still ongoing development so I expect bugs. Hopefully it gets fleshed out soon.

ex Redditor, sort of stopped using the site years ago anyways, but I've been following the reddit api stuff because I was a big fan of Apollo when I was a more active user and that's how I ended up finding Lemmy; I like it here so far, the few communities i've seen seem friendly and welcoming; and the content is interesting

I got Jerboa right where RIF used to be on my home screen, it's almost like nothing changed.

Touch and feel is comfortable (if I can remember to middle-click links so I don't keep closing Lemmy tab), communities are growing, framework looks robust. My only concern is that if I ever move from one server to another (if I decide to self-host), it appears I'll need to manually rebuild all of my subscriptions which sounds painful.

Im liking Lemmy so far. It’s an adjustment and clearly the software is in its infancy, but it does not suck once one adjusts.

The UI is certainly attractive on Jerboa, and I imagine will improve with time. I'm using mainly on an android phone. I second another comment on enjoying the "real conversations" bit, as this feels much more human, and not a platform abused by bots, marketing, and astroturfing (and also greedy, grifting CEOs). I do have an issue with Jerboa not maintaining my sign in status every time, and the feed not loading every time I open the app, but it's small potatoes. I'm looking forward to the evolution of Lemmy!

First time using the fediverse and I don’t think it was hard at all.
