Same. Relay was the one for me. So far Connect for Lemmy has been the closest I’ve found. No button nto clear read yet, but the mark read on scroll and collapsing comments function is here. So it’s in good shape to start.
I’ve been on liftoff for a bit now, and I seem to gravitate towards it more than any of my other attempts to connect to the fediverse, I have to admit!
I would have done a monthly sub thing if I knew the money would’ve gone to u/dbrady, but I refuse to have one cent of my money go to Reddit.inc.
I’m not on “Lenny” terms yet, I still refer to him as “Leonard”.
As for Lemmy, it’s almost completely replaced Reddit for me. Except for the times I search for something and the best result is a Reddit thread from 3 years ago
Yes. I’m looking forward to better search functionality on instances though. It’s kind of hard to search if something’s been asked or posted already on mobile (using Liftoff, but I’ve also tried Jerboa and Connect)
I completely left Reddit. A week before Apollo shut down I slowly started to leave subreddits and cleaned my post and comments. The moment Apollo stopped working, Reddit was dead to me either. Lemmy is now my new home.
Same. I’ve completely adapted to Memmy and have left Reddit behind. So far the only thing I miss is the sports communities. But otherwise I feel no compulsion to browse Reddit.
I am sad about RIF. It blocked all the ads, didn’t show all the shitty awards, was super clean, the video player worked well and the mod tools were awesome.
On a side note, its sad demise led me to Lemmy, so all is well.
I think a lot of us are still getting accustomed to Lemmy and finding our flow. For me, personally, the move exposed a bunch of new communities and topics I didn’t know / or forgot I was interested in and am now excited to be a part of!
It’s basically old reddit. It feels like I just left Digg and I def enjoy it much more. I’d have left back when they changed to new reddit if Lemmy was around.
Likewise, I’m finding my feed is once again filling with things I am actually interested in. Reddit had drifted slowly towards mindless content but here on Lemmy I feel back in control.
How do you find communities here that are analogs of the ones you enjoyed on Reddit? I see big communities here like 196 that is basically the same as the Reddit community, and lemmyshitpost is a new type of meme community - but let’s say I’m interested in math and history. How do I find communities with in depth discussion of those topics?
Same. I still report to reddit when I need to check something technical. For example, was looking at doing some work on my HVAC and wondering if some new pipe fittings were any good. Googled the product name plus Reddit to get the professional discussions from the HVAC experts.
Yeah, same here. To be honest, the web will lose a great repository of information when Reddit goes the way of the dodo. I wonder if archiving efforts are underway anywhere?
