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.
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.
- 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

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

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)
a good solid baseball community, and a sportbook community.
The Colorado avalanche subreddit having more than 2 people
All 4 avalanche fans were on Reddit?

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

Activity that isn’t political shit.
Convenience of blocking. Voyager is absolute ass in this regard.
Being able to conveniently filter out entire subreddits. (Actually I say that but I did have multiple cases where the block list just straight up stopped working.)
The echo chamber also feels way stronger here. It’s tiring. Especially the ACAB wank, which hasn’t improved with the rise of Nazi America.
if american: calling ACAB anything other than an extremely rational response to modern slavery is fucking absurd.
otherwise: ok yeah your cops are almost definitely better than American cops but I’m not convinced cops anywhere are a net positive to society other than maybe Scandinavian countries where the main form of punishment is legitimately rehabilitation focused
Are you okay with having all of your stuff stolen? Because no cops is how you have all your stuff stolen

The app - Baconreader was so smooth. I’m getting used to the fediverse one, but there are still a lot of decisions by the devs that I hate.
The sheer amount of queer porn - it wasn’t even enough because my tastes are… Varying. But the feed of porn on fediverse is weak as fuck, with a lot of it being really boring and aimed at boring people who are not me (cishet men). I’m confident this will eventually get remedied, but it DID also take like a decade for even Reddit to get good porn, with its own ups and downs.
That being said, there’s still so much more to love on fediverse that I don’t need to look back to Reddit for. It feels like going from high school to a really big, really liberal college (Reddit->fediverse). I can openly do so much stuff, like say fuck nazis, which I regularly do, and very much mean. I can even say stuff like “the only good nazi…” and people will know what I’m talking about AND agree with, thank fuck. It’s just a much more grown up place here, and I’m much more comfortable being closer to being able to speak my mind without having to censor myself, and I’ve noticed this in other people, too, that there’s far less conformity to respectability politics, and people actually say what they think, regardless of how bizarre or unhinged it is, I truly love that.
Yup, the porn is lacking. I think part of the problem is all gay porn gets downvoted on World even if it’s posted on LemmyNSFW, and the one posted on World is simply not welcome. I tried but it didn’t catch on so I let it be. :/

Have you used Voyager, Thunder, Summit?
In like 2023 and a little last year, I tried out literally a dozen of them. Most of them were in earlier stages of development and were VERY space wasteful whilst also showing very little data AND having no customizations to fix that stuff. I’m currently using Sync, and as long as I customize the shit out of it, it’s bearable.
I tried: jerboa, kbin, connect, voyager, lemmotif, thunder, liftoff, summit, sync, a different voyager, tundra, and artemis.
I eventually got burnt out on trying and trying to customize each app, and settled on sync I guess.
Sync hasn’t been updated for a long time, and will stop working with Lemmy 1.0, I would recommend to have a look at the 3 above when you have some time.
!summit@lemmy.world has been active lately
Son of a bitch. Gfdi seriously. Ugh. Well that sucks. Hopefully the dev either open source’s the app or comes back when it breaks, because I’m getting really sick of searching for new apps and platforms right now to turn to for momentary and intermittent dopamine hits, socializing, memes, and conversations.
I just updated my summit app and I’ll have to look at how it handles now and I’ll need to import my multiple fediverse accounts and see if I can customize it to be functional for me, because it and every other app had ui problems like crazy. I tend to be a minimalist that hates huge previews, wasted space, waiting, and gestures. If it’s foss, maybe I’ll learn the platform and develop for it, because I’m seriously sick of half baked and funky designs and unintuitive ui/ux.
