Now that a lot of the commotion has subsided I’m just curious to know how y’all are finding the Lemmy experience in general and whether you use it regularly like you did reddit?
Eh, it scratches the itch. I don’t touch reddit anymore, outside of web searches. Still, I miss the niche communities that only a massive site like reddit can give life.
Where’s the fucking porn?
I’m just still missing communities that are only on Reddit rn.
Other than that… I’d argue the Lemmy ux is already far superior, so that’s great.
Lemmy is great. Altho now it’s full of Linus apologists so it sucks atm. Also Memmy is fantastic!
I mean it beats Reddit’s full time coverage of Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk.
weird that you say that when 95% of what I’ve seen has been very critical of Linus
I think it’s fine but I admit I don’t think it’s very fun with one centralized Lemmy instance. Feels like reddit all over again. The idealist in me wanted a distributed network instead, with popular communities spread out across hundreds of instances run by volunteers.
But on the plus side, we can talk without corps being involved and that’s really, really nice. I don’t even use any big tech sites anymore except github.
