On one hand, I think this is the best opportunity for lemmy to grow exponentially in terms of reddit immigrants. It would be great to take advantage of this since if many users from reddit have a good experience with lemmy it’s free word of mouth advertising over at reddit. Plus I’m not sure reddit will do something like this again in the foreseeable future after their IPO comes out.

On the other hand, I completely understand that there are technical challenges that need to be addressed, and a user that’s trying lemmy out for the first time would probably get turned off if it seems like lenny is unstable and/or there’s not much content to engage him/her.

Id love for lenny to evolve and grow. I’ve only been here ~48 hours but I’m already less stressed and the community so far has been good to me. I’ll still promote lenny even after this API issue until they ban me. Lol.

I’ll be honest - I don’t think I’ll stop using reddit completely. There are just too many subs there that aren’t here that I’m interested in. I might just use reddit whenever I’m on pc (which would be far far less since I’m usually on mobile). I’m still staying here, though, and try to be as active as I can.

I’ve been looking for a reddit alternative for at least a year now, although I wasn’t too focused on it. I did try one (I can’t remember the name) but didn’t stick around because there was so little activity. The API change was the last straw. I actively looked for alternatives and someone recommended lemmy.

Had I known about lemmy before, I probably would have been here since last year, at least.

So. Much. This. Been working from home since the pandemic started. I guess being an introvert helped a ton since I know a lot of people who struggled with it.

I think for the social aspect, I noticed working from home removed (or at least dramatically decreased) the feeling of being in a team. I do miss that, surprisingly. Now it feels more like I’m a hired gun rather than a part of a team. We do have regular team meetings but it’s just isn’t the same.

Another pro is I get to interact more, despite in a limited fashion, with people from different countries. We usually had our higher ups manage that and just cascade when there was information to relay.

I don’t think I’ll ever go back to the office, tbh.

I completely agree. I use Joey myself (no particular reason - I just got pretty confortable with it). My only problem now is I keep getting timeouts. It could be my connection, though.

Firefox and Kiwi on mobile.

Firefox and Brave on desktop.

Oh and Chrome, too. I’m sorry but my job requires it. :(

I’m not really into posting stuff, even on Reddit. I mean, my life’s pretty mundane (lol) and I go to Reddit (and now here) to see interesting stuff.

I’m pretty active in the comments section, though. You guys can count on that.

I’m almost ashamed with my list. Lol.

In no particular order:

• Ghost Recon (WL and BP)
• FF VII
• FF VIII
• Warframe
• Silent Hill (PS1)
• Gran Turismo
• Forza Horizon Series
• RDR 2
• Chrono Cross

Same here. It can definitely be better, but it works for now. No errors so far.

Edit: and just like that it suddenly threw an error. Lol.
