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.

Nice overall but still a bit silent here and there.

But I actually have more motivation to interact here than I ever had on Reddit.

It’s fine but way too much talk about reddit.

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.

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.
