I think it’s the best at what it does. That problem space doesn’t have a lot of good options.

I’ve got no problem with the communists. I like having a part of the internet that isn’t completely commoditised and filled with ads and people trying to sell side hustles. I hate the search function.

**like: ** people are nicer here!! it also still has the old forum/chatroom vibe, and if the admins suck on an instance you can just. join another. and still subscribe to communities from the old instance. modlog is also pretty cool, allows for transparency between mods and users. i also cant doomscroll because like the other person said, there’s an ‘end’ to it.
dislike: niche communities are hard to find, and the ones that do exist are usually empty. also some of instances’ ui/css is extremely fugly and i physically cannot use it (why i left the fediverse before) (also the nice css was one of my reasons for joining dbzer0). also the tankies, but at least they’re contained within hexbear, .ml and lemmygrad.

I like that it’s not reddit in terms of toxicity and powerdrunk mods. I really like the apps accessing Lemmy and the general tone in comments and discussion. As a German the community ich_iel is most of the content I need.
I dislike how long it took me to filter out the words „Elon“ and „musk“ because every second post on c/technology is about that man. Phew, my life is better without it. (I really like being able to filter)

I’ve been impressed with the number of people who understand this pretty esoteric and fundamentally game-changing bit of technical voting system knowledge:
About first past the post and third parties for those who aren’t going to watch. But do watch! Required viewing for everybody!

Here’s a whole playlist from that same author that is amazing: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrttDbiWQ1XO1iHAszAsPo…. The first one there will probably fuck you up though - it did me - as paradigm shattering is supposed to do, but hey, I did want to warn you in advance (to be absolutely clear: yes it is SOOO worth it!).

My only gripe is it is EXTREMELY left leaning in general, and if anyone has a less polarizing opinion about something the hive mind reacts.
Not to mention you can’t talk about anything political without someone bringing up how my political views promote genocide.

I once compared demading that people use a certain pronoun to demanding that women wear burkas. Got banned from the lemmy instance for that one. These are not rational people.

No Ads. No corpos. No infinity scroll. No hate. Different opinions. Cool people. My daily bread.

No profit motive. No shady board of directors making deals with a place we are trying to build community.

It’s still in the honeymoon period before it gets crapped up by redditors who compulsively shit on everything.

The sidebar says email is optional but it’s required to sign up, and your required to wait for approval before you can post.

What I like: It is definitely nicer than Reddit was.
What I dislike: It lacks some of the communities I was frequenting in Reddit when it was good.
