Content
The number of users, you can get answers to anything there.
Askhistorians and other academic subreddits, along with specific fan communities. Lemmy is just too small to support a good community for a smaller video game, for example. That’s pretty much it though I was surprised at how little I missed reddit after switching
I don’t miss anything from reddit, I can still go there if I want. If anything, lemmy still feels underpopulated if I only browse the stuff I’m subscribed to.
- Personal insults.
- The attitude that upvotes and downvotes define right and wrong more than actual reasoning does.
- People thinking they can extrapolate your whole worldview, background and value as a human being from a comment.
- Absolutism and binary thinking, where only two opinions are possible: the Right one and the extreme opposite Wrong one, and questioning ANY aspect of the Right one implies wholehearted support for the Wrong one.
But tbh I don’t really miss any of those things, cuz they’re all here on lemmy too.
I’m gonna downvite youre comment you reddit libtard. /s
Most subs i follow have a discord anyway, so mostly on discord. For the subs not on discord, I use alternative measures viz; a. ChubbyFire - I still check the space out
b. r4r- I Resort to other pay for play NSFW apps.
AskHistorians
Working mobile apps. My Jerboa mobile app for Lemmy works great, but if they hadn’t have broken all the mobile apps and acted like such shitheads, I wouldn’t even be here :)
Rip rif
🐐
My beloved. I kept it on my phone for a few weeks after it was shut out, it still had access to some content and I thought all this would blow over :(
I kept it until getting a new phone lol. I remember actively using it when it suddenly stopped working, like a month after it was supposed to stop working
A balance between communities. There are communities that are very active and fill my feed. Although those community are OK, I am much more interested in some smaller and niche communities. Those get lost in the feed.
- use alts for different interests (e.g. one account for niche communities, one for memes, one for news)
- consider https://piefed.social/ as they have personal and public feeds (multireddits)

Hide on vote was pretty nice. I used rif before they closed 3rd party apps, and I came to Lemmy
Don’t know if you know but we have hide on read in the settings, but I also wish it worked like on Reddit.
Yeah, I have that enabled, but really miss my hide on vote
You can always suggest it on the community of the app you are using

a good solid baseball community, and a sportbook community.
Active posts that aren’t about linux or politics.
Lemmy is actually getting better. It’s like Reddit when it was just starting.
Hey now, we also have programming and meta-fediverse discussions as well /s
