Asklemmy

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.

I'm new to lemmy, but I'm using both in moderation. It's kinda hard for me to leave reddit, because I've made a few online friends there, but I like how little spam there is here.

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.

Still not enough content. I already feel the slow down in activities. I'm in a weird spot rn. I go back to reddit because there's more interesting stuff to see, but the official apps is so bad, that I come back here. Also People here seems more intelligent on avg.

I like lemmy because there is no ads and no gold and premium stupid stuff like NFTs and 50$ awards. I liked the awards ideas ,but damn paying up to 100$ for digital emojis that everyone will forget in a day?

The big downside is the lack of embedded videos. Of course videos takes a lot of server power compared to text. But I hope we find a way to implement this in the future.

I think we should have a public board that shows the instance hardware spec and the finance. So we can set donations goals to upgrade servers or keep them afloat.
