Mine’s gotten better, but it’s taken some curation to get there.

Since I joined Lemmy during the Reddit meltdown, the amount of quality content has steadily risen. I run a small instance (~25 users), so my “all” feed isn’t a deluge of everything under the sun. I also block bot accounts which reduces a lot of the crap (reposts, spammy comments, etc).

It’s gotten better. A lot. More people means more content. Sure, I have to curate it a bit, but overall it’s better.

Lol, so many people asking this. IDK, it kind of got better with time! I like here, my instance seems to share to same basic values has me, the interactions are less aggressive then on reddit. I sometimes go to Reddit to look at the trash. Oh and I got into Linux. Like really, my wife thinks I’m anoying about it.

Mines gotten better, but that’s because I’ve become active in communities like [email protected] which are full of awesome people. Without them it would’ve probably still got better, but they’ve made it way better

Lemmy has gotten a bit slower, but the mobile app experience has gotten significantly better. I only go to reddit for one specific subreddit. Other then that, I’m full blown decentralized, except for my friends who still use discord.

Mobile apps are significantly better than they were at the start of the reddit migration, to the point connect has replaced Boost for me even though boost finally caught up to the rest of the class

So better in general I guess

I do feel like engagement and participation have dropped off from the Rexit peak. However, as the pace has slowed the quality of the posts and comments have stayed strong or even gotten better.

I’m looking forward to being able to block whole instances to get a lot of the bot-generated chaff out of my All feed. Stuff like sports scores and Hacker News reposts.

It seems to be more active than the first time that I made a lemmy account. I’m looking forward to some of my favored subreddits making the switch.

It’s been mixed for me.

Negatives: rise in bot reposts. Solution: block the individual bot accounts. Works fine. Cut spam on my feeds by a third easily.

Positives: more engagements on posts. More comments, more viewpoints. I think this is great.

That Lemmit bot that just keeps posting links to Reddit has got to go!!

If it’s worth posting or discussing, link the original article and make your own damn post. I don’t want a link back to Reddit.

It feels about the same, aside from the week or two hexbear was around.

I don't use Lemmy, but rather Kbin. I guess I have some nitpicks about the fundamentals of the fediverse itself. Particularly, the fact that 10 people could create a...subfeddit...for a certain subject, like [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], etc. and that causes content to become decentralized and scattered. Otherwise, I like what's happening here, and I'm definitely happy not be licking Spezs' boot.

It’s gotten better for me, since the mobile apps available have gotten better. Initially I was using the website on mobile which felt clunky and filtering options aren’t great. But now with apps like Connect I’m able to curate instances and communities I see more easily, so it’s a more focused experienced than the default I had before. Apps really do make a difference. If these type of apps had been more mature in the beginning it would have helped initial adoption and retention.

Gotten better and better over time.

I’ve learned to always have a backup account on another instance and that’s decreased my downtime to almost zero.

I prefer the content here to Reddit, as Reddit seems to just be clickbait these days.

My favorite thing here is the community. Much less likely to encounter an asshole and even when people disagree, they seem to argue in good faith. Love the Lemmy/knib community feel.

Well…it exists, now.

The reddit exodus tanked the quality of discourse so hard, I have to use my block list the exact same way I was using it on reddit; and that’s fucking depressing. Eternal September, all over again.

Its pretty awful now. Lemmy is full if bots masquerading as users shilling products like Tailscale and Kaki.

Too many instances had open signups for a long time with no email requirements. I estimate Lemmy is 60% bots.

It’s great. It’s fun to try to grow communities.

I even like finding similar communities being scattered around the fediverse. Not being centrally owned by anyone (including a single instance) is what makes this different from reddit.

It was pretty dead when I first joined in the middle of June. Instances and communities have slowly started to fill and comment sections are getting more active.

Experience definitely got better once more third party apps got on board. There is a great selection out there with different tastes to suit a lot of users.

I joined during the great exodus and it’s gotten better since then. At the time it felt like Lemmy’s content was only consistently better than reddit at its worst, but that’s not a high bar. I’m not sure how people have found it worse since most communities are still empty husks with like one post a week.

Recently links have started working in-app instead of sending me out to access lemmy through firefox. But it is still next to impossible to link someone else to a place, you need to know a lot of new stuff.

Not that I would want to. There is still very little interesting content, it is almost all yank-oriented, with occasional input from Europeans. The euro input is nice, but doesn’t relate much to Oz, it’s more relatable than the stuff made and commented on by Americans, that’s all.

It’s fun, but like looking through a window at someone elses social area. It isn’t homelike by a longshot. And if I ever mention this, all the yanks stacks-on by calling me a c**t, which is actually rude to someone you don’t have a long term positive relationship with of a very specific agegroup, and causes me to leave their community because it was rude.

All in all, not really bothered if Lemmy doesn’t succeed, but hopeful it might evolve one day.

Sync released

On kbin myself, but the amount of spam and bot posts is off-putting. It's worse if I'm following the same community on multiple instances. I'll have the same exact spam post show up multiple times in my feed because it was posted on multiple instances. There seems to be little in the way of moderation. Still browse here and appreciate it but I hope it improves in the future.

Also experiencing a bug where some long posts or comments will not expand making them unreadable.

It’s been alright. I’m still having issue with the communities I want to follow, specifically certain games or franchises, either not having enough people posting or communities just not existing.

I still stand by my decision to not use Reddit unless I absolutely have to for troubleshooting issues, but Lemmy and Kbin are lonely platforms still and that hasn’t changed since I’ve joined

Why can’t I downvote!?

Mostly stable. A few communities go strong, many more remain silent.

Bots though. There are a bunch of bots merely reposting links to other platforms like reddit, and it’s so annoying. Their posts sit at +0 votes, 0 comments, and clutter communities and All feed. I’m mostly talking about lemmit.online/u/bot and zerobytes.monster/u/bOt. If anyone knows for what they are good, if anyone likes something about their existence, please enlighten me. From my point of view, they’re like a (maybe) opt-out newsletter for which you were never asked if you want to receive it. And apparently people are working to make more bots and create more bot instances to mirror more non-interactive reddit posts into Lemmy. I think that’s a terrible development for existing users, and severely off-putting for newcomers.

I also learned over the past months how tankies can be bending the truth and be quick with their banhammer. It’s a bit eerie to see them create alternate realities shielded from outside opinions, how all that works technically with de-/federation, various versions of comment sections, and so on.

I blame Lemmy for my new found interest in politics, I was happier before.

I have tons of communities blocked and I’m still blocking. I don’t sub at all, I solely browse by all not to miss new communities. It’s very silent outside of meme stuff and USA news. I care for neither.
