I guess one thing I like already is that there’s no requirements for Karma, stupid rules about Reddit’s filters which got my 100k karma account permanently banned for no reason at all.
Would you prefer Lemmy to be smaller like it is now or get to a reddit level popularity but without the reddit jank.
I’m already having a good experience with Lemmy. A couple of features that would make it perfect for me are better discovery tools for communities and the ability to merge feeds from similar ones.
And I have to say, searching for anything (whether here or on Reddit) always feels like a bit of a challenge. A more robust search feature would be amazing! But overall, I’m really enjoying the vibe here.
Definitely, the good thing about Reddit is that it had a good player as well because I’m a guy who spent a lot of time making content, also you can upload videos no matter the size (I think) which is cool.
I’m new but also enjoying my time, I like how non judging this site is because on Reddit I’d get messages like “Uhhh OP has an interesting history” basically trolls and stuff, but It’s whatever, I don’t mind.
That’s so true about the video player and upload limits, it’s no doubt a huge plus for creators like you? And I totally get what you mean about the more welcoming vibe here; it’s one of the best things about this space.
Just a friendly heads-up as you’re getting settled: while it’s generally much kinder, Lemmy has its share of ‘interesting’ characters here too (a wonderful mix of great people and a few bad apples). But the ability to curate your own experience is much stronger here!
Glad you’re enjoying your time so far!
I’m enjoying my time so far, I’m waiting my 100 day ban pass I guess from Reddit (I’m like almost there) and see what I do, I’ll probably keep using this site since it allows me to be more free than reddit.
