I can't speak for everyone. I've been lurking for the past couple weeks and just signed up yesterday. The prevailing attitude I've noticed is that people realize just how much of a toxic hog lagoon reddit has become, and are glad to participate in a community that isn't. It's nice to be somewhere that isn't full of bots and doesn't coddle nazis.

I also think it helps that most of the onboarding literature is frontloaded with "this is how federation works" instead of jumping right in to "here's how you sign up and use lemmy." Effectively scares off the reading-averse.

If considering that to be a plus makes me an elitist, I'm ok with that.

Depends on instance...

My last one wouldn't defederate from a shitshow instance full of transphobia, threats of violence, and basically anything else you'd see on 4chan.

Apparently all that was just a "difference of opinions" so my old instance said it was fine.

The problematic instance also had a lot of posts shitting on this one for defederating them, so I just signed up a new account here.

I think that's the best part of Lemmy, it's easy to just drop an instance and find another that aligns more with what you want out of it.

A decade from now if the biggest instance pulls a spez, everyone would just move to a new instance

Fair enough. And like you said, if an instance becomes toxic enough, no one will want to federate with them, and users will switch from instances that do to instances that don't.

This is really such a great example for why Fediverse and FOSS in general are the superior and much healthier way for society's social media interactions to go. Hopefully, some day in the near future, unprofitable social media monoliths like Meta, Twitter and Reddit will be so blatantly exploiting of their user base that even normies migrate to free software alternatives and the era of ultra-capitalist mega-corporations in social media encouraging hate and toxicity will finally be over.

Lemmy kinda sucks for me right now. Laggy, buggy, awkward.... I love it. Looking forward to being part of its growth and development.

Something_Complex ,

My friend use 3 or 4 apps at the same time. It’s been working for me

veroxii ,

If people complain about the stability they were clearly not around for the early days of Reddit. It was flakey as hell.

I mean while that may be true, reddit is still providing a benchmark. old.reddit still works on desktop and mobile, so unlike reddit when it was new, lemmy has competiton.

fidodo ,

Before Reddit there was digg and the users left for Reddit because digg was the one pulling shenanigans back then. Reddit definitely had competition even back then.

fidodo ,

Reddit was down all the time during the digg migration

I love it. All I want is an app

Android: Liftoff, Connect, Summit, Jerboa. (In this order for me.

PWA: wefwef.app

Edit: the android ones are all on Play Store.

i’ve been using memmy on ios

you have to use it through testflight and it’s still a bit buggy but otherwise feels like a slightly less polished and less customisable version of Apollo, which is already high praise.

Someone told me about wefwef for iOS and its awesome so far!

Cornpop ,

Amen! It’s a little slow but I’m perfectly fine with that! Everyone here is vibing for sure!

ericbomb ,

I mean the lack of ads DOES help though.

LemmyLeaveReddit ,

It also feels faster when loading, though slower when you enter a post or save a comment.

I guess reading data must be easier than writing data

fidodo , (edited )

I think it’s because these are actual communities. The admins are just regular people you can talk to like normally. You choose your community. They’re not faceless corporations and I think when a network is a corporation the platform gets less respectful conversation for understandable reasons.

Reminds me just a little bit of USENET before Eternal September and all the spam that essentially ruined it. Same for the days of BBSes.

mrfriki ,

For me is the (for now) lack of repost. Those fuckers plagued my home page for years.

czarrie ,
@czarrie@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, the absence of a slew of editorialized content, obviously being pushed by larger groups, is kinda nice. Like I think I've interacted with more people on here in the past 24 than I would in a week over there

BackStabbath ,

Although it’s a completely different thing, I am seeing a lot of repeated comments. But yeah, the lack of reposts so far is nice.

Anonymau5 ,

I am really enjoying my time here

xT1TANx ,

🤘

PixelPlumber ,

I think it’s partly a selection effect of who bothered to come here. On the positive end, scrolling All is more likely to show things relevant to me I wouldn’t have found.

On the negative end there are few comments to interact wjth

vudu ,

On this platform I'm much more likely to actually type out a comment, even when there are a just a couple (or none!). I feel like people will actually read it.

chanunnaki ,

I read this!

Saptuce ,

Let the journey begins.

BetaRebooter ,

Newbie here after RIF went to Valhalla, I really hope this place grows and develops and people stay. I am enjoying it so far it reminds me of ol' forum days and Reddit of old, maybe I'm just being nostalgic but I just want this to work well and hope it's not just a short lived influx!

BetaRebooter ,

!

epique ,

mostly a lurker here so far but it seems the comunity is developing well.

illbit ,

Pretty awesome to be part of something new and growing.

Laete ,

It feels somehow nostalgic and exciting. Makes it lot easier to forget Reddit.
