I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

    I had trouble with Mastodon, primarily because I had a very curated list of people I followed and most of them didn’t move to Mastodon. Those that did are clearly using some type of program to just copy posts over from other platforms.

    But for Lemmy, it feels different. I’ve been able to find most of the same communities I was a part of over there. The fact that they are smaller and less busy means I can spend less time scrolling, but still feel like I got my “fix” in for the day.

      Twitter for me was about specific people, and the people I followed didn’t move. But reddit was about the communities, and the communities are here.
