Pretty great honestly. I've found almost all the "subs" I'm interested in, and the community has been very nice. There's a few small things I'd like to see (UI improvements, 2FA (coming next patch), etc), but those will come in time :)

Quite enjoyable and, since seeing the sub.rehab site someone else posted, even better. I've found quite a few subs that have made their way over to Lemmy.
My only gripe is that quite a few have made their way to lemmy.world, and it's buckling under pressure. I can't sign up on that instance, nor can I remotely sub to communities from my own instance. Once that's resolved, I think I'll definitely be happy to call Lemmy my new home.
Can't go back anyway - deleted my Reddit account.

I read the Lemmy Documentation before signing up for a server and that has helped me to understand what is going on here. I would say that my experience has been generally positive. I really like this platform.

Greatly improved after I found out about https://mlmym.org/ (old Reddit UI for Lemmy)
yep i can hardly tell the difference on this interface.
I am so happy this exists. I wish it continued growth and success. It feels like the good old early internet and thatβs a very good thing.
Unfortunately, I've been getting some 404 not found of some communities/magazines of some instances that are not from the instance I'm using, e.g. I'm using kbin.social at the current posting account, but let's say that I tried to access something like https://sh.itjust.works/c/skincareaddiction there's no issues whatsoever (since it's the main instance where that community spawned off) but if I tried https://kbin.social/m/skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works then I would get the aforementioned error code. I find it pretty inconvenient that caching/indexing of certain less popular (which I assume is what is happening) community working clunkily, it feels not as reliable than using a centralized service, but I guess that this is the price to pay for a decentralized system.

I don't really understand it yet, I'm trying to find a boardgame community, but haven't had any luck.

Good so far. The one and only Android app available for it is serviceable, though not without issues. Other than that, if usage picks up I can see myself spending more time here.
It's a bit clunkier than Reddit, and obviously a smaller userbase. I'm sure the experience will get better with time. The real key to success will be getting more users to create content
Maybe I just haven't come across it yet, but I'd like to make threads left-aligned and everything smaller (text, thumbnails etc.)
