I mostly used Reddit for Football (Soccer) highlights, so I'm really hoping that Lemmy will provide the highlights for the games I follow. I've subscribed to a few communities that have potential.

I also enjoyed other subreddits such as instant_regret, nextfuckinglevel, yesyesyesnoyes for the LOLs but I can live without that. I'll find my LOLs in other places.

Regarding your second paragraph, which other sources do you have? I used reddit for that as well, and also for reddits like /r/facepalm

Direct messages between friends, and workmates mostly. Imgur.

Can you direct message here?

Yep. Under someone's post, tap the three dots, then click the envelope button (assuming you're on the website).

You'll find chats and chat rooms on Matrix a lot more common on Lemmy, though (see side bar on home page).
