I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it’s because I am limited to using the desktop and can’t aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself aimlessly browsing through r/AskReddit and asking and answering pointless questions.
I made a lemmy account today, as I found out that all of the subreddits I’m a part of hava (at least for now) migrated to lemmy. But I’ve been pretty much no time on reddit recently so idk…
Is there any compilation lists of subs migrating to lemmy or do I just try my luck looking for communities? I leaved Reddit and I’m trying to set home somewhere but I’m still trying to figure out Lemmy.
Idk, just try searching for the sub’s name in the lemmy search and if they have migrated, it should come up
Lemmy really isn’t complicated… You create an account in an instance and can access all content from all instances. You can add groups to your home feed by subscribing to them, it’s just like joining a subreddit.
what confuses me is being on one domain, then clicking ‘view context’ on a comment and it’s on another domain that I don’t have JS enabled for and am not signed into
It’s not that complicated, but it’s not presented particularly well imo. I’m still getting used to it, and it took a minute to realize how content is kind of brought in to view, if that makes sense.
Yeah after using Lemmy for some time I realized it is very similar to reddit. Some questions remain about how the fediverse works but so far so good.

Thanks a lot!
https://sub.rehab/ looks pretty good.
Thank you!! this is pretty neat
Same. After reddit came out and said they were going to start removing mods, I uninstalled Sync and haven’t touched reddit. I signed up for Lemmy today and setup jerboa. I hope the Sync dev(s) make a Lemmy app, that would be dope
There is already a pretty good mobile app for lemmy though, it’s called Jerboa for Lemmy. It’s not the most polished thing ever, but it’s much better than reddit’s official app and it works pretty well.
Right, I mentioned I setup Jerboa. It’s not bad at all, but I’ve used sync for years and just know it well.
