I’ve had a great time here. The people on the various communities I’ve joined are very nice and actually constructive! I haven’t encountered any rude or sarcastic responses or one word answers.
I’ve had really cool conversations and I haven’t been told anything toxic or given any anatomically impossible suggestions at all! I really see a difference between here and Reddit.
What particularly amazed me is the lack of knock down dragouts on the Politics and News communities on Lemmy.
People bring up their points of view even if they have contrasting arguments siting historical precedents to support their side of the discussion.
I’m excited to see your experience as well?
I’m really glad to be a part of Lemm.ee and thank you very much /u/sunaurus for making this instance! :D
It’s going to take a while re-building a list of communities, and getting familiar with the new UI (I’m using Jerboa on Android). But otherwise, same vibes as when moving from twitter to mastodon, it feels good to rely on decentralized networks where we aren’t the product.
What I’m missing at the moment is the ability to build “MultiReddits,” i.e. specific groupings of communities for when I want to browse by theme. For example, back on Reddit, my “Sports” M-R included the subs: NBA, MMA and general sports.
Right now on Lemmy, it looks like one can browse communities by either: Subscribed, Local, and All, but nothing else. Am I missing something, tho?
