I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?

I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)

I use only jerboa, like before I used only Infinity for reddit. I find lemmy very cool, when there was the twitter migration I tried for some weeks mastodon but was not my ambient. Lemmy, being like reddit is more my kind of site. I like that in Jerboa I have the tab for my subscription, the tab for my istance (the italian one in my case) and the all tab. I find it realy usefull. The only thing is that searching for sub or for some thing is not immediate as in reddit, but I think that with time we will get a more populate site.

Liking the clean interface reminiscent of old reddit

I'm starting to think the splintering caused by instances blocking each other is going to cause users to abandon Lemmy entirely. At the moment instances can suddenly decide to block other instances, and that is going to hurt both users on the instance that put a block into place, as well as users on the blocked instance.

The blocking is awful for an average Lemmy user, because you can get cut off from communities you already subscribed to, without any notification! So you might post and comment without realizing that your content is not getting published, even though you and your local instance still see it.

The user experience would be improved by getting a warning if you try to contribute to a community in this case. And also your subscriptions should show warnings about not working anymore, and those should come up as notifications on the account.

I like it alot. I used RIF and it's very similar, plus how I interacted with reddit is kinda how lemmy is set up anyway. Small community, simple mostly text based view, sort by new.

The only bothersome bugs I've come across so far are: upvoting/commenting within inbox should be accessible with out click and hold, and the upvote itself is very laggy in the inbox as well. And posting a picture taken with phone gets turned sideways for some reason. Some one smarter than me will figure it out I'm sure.

It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.

I dig it but I wish there was a more compact view option for the web version.

The UI is just a bit janky and buggy on mobile. The amount up votes is constantly changing as I type this comment. I also think I might of reported this post twice just while trying to scroll.

I do like the size of the communities through.

It doesn't really feel much different to me than reddit, aside from being less active and having fewer communities. I'm enjoying the smaller feel of the communities here though. It can feel pretty futile to go into a reddit thread with 3k+ comments and try to say anything because youre bound to be buried. It feels like talking into a void. Here on Lemmy, I feel more like it's worth my time to contribute to the discussion and the community. I mean, it's not like attention is my motivation for posting. It just feels empty and pointless to contribute to a social space and get no kind of interaction - or worse, a toxic and negative interaction.

This is my first post here! I've subscribed to a bunch of communities I'm interested in, some of them that have come over from Reddit and some new ones. I'm already familiar with the concept of Federated communication apps through Matrix and Mastodon.

Let's make this community a great place to be, talk, share information, and enjoy the things we love.

I like the people and I trust I'm not stuck talking to some Marvel inc corporate intern tasked with promotion for the day on some sub reddit that's run by the company but made to look like a grassroots community

I like it and there's probably about as much traffic here was there was on reddit when I was started using it in the early 2010s. The design is nice and I like the federated concept although it is going to be a learning curve for some users. My particular home server is slow and down sometimes but in a way I feel its necessary to take some ownership and contribute to server improvements as we get more users if we want to sustain this.

I hate using apps, so I use the browser on mobile. From that perspective, Lemmy seems snappier. I don't know if it actually is or just the perception from a cleaner interface, and not getting bugged about the app.

It's nice, I just wish there was more activity. Hopefully it will grow overtime. My concern is the barrier of entry for new users. The whole "different instances" thing can be quite confusing.

I'm liking it so far - bit of a learning curve but not too bad!

I do have a bone to pick with users - there are a lot of niche communities that have zero posts. If you start a community, try to add something to it! I'm not sure if people are trying to "claim" rights to as many communities as possible - i surely hope not - but if you're interested in a subject and want to start a community, surely you have something to say! It takes two hands to clap - if you don't start saying something, then whoever comes to your community is gonna move on.

lemmy is open source though too! so if there’s a bug, someone in the community can help fix it. speaking of which, i had some ideas for the UI that i’d love to propose for lemmy, such as giving posts a slight background color to make them easier to read. kind of like old reddit.

is anyone free to create a PR for lemmy-ui? mostly wondering if there’s a group it needs to be proposed to or something.

i like the minimal look as it mirrors my RES and old.r settings. I would like the ability to stretch the pages out to fill in the empty voids of my 1440 window though. At the moment it looks like Lemmy was built on a mobile portrait view only.

TBD, the organization seems more chaotic and seems like alot of duplication of communities of the same topic

Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong

Quite like it. Jerboa is usable despite its early development state.

I miss and probably will continue to miss some of the smaller niche communities, which are really only viable on huge servers/networks. Notably /flying and /NetBSD. There probably aren't enough active users to create thriving communities on both reddit and lemmy. Although /r/flying participates in the blackout, I expect most redditors there will stay. I used the site on desktop most of the time, too, and I don't see myself cutting all ties, either.

So, ambivalent, I'd say. I'll see what the mobile app situation will be in a few weeks; Infinity has worked well for me.

So far, so good. The official Android app needs work but the desktop site works well. Deleted Reddit and not looking back.

I tried to reply to another thread but for some reason it never showed. So trying on this thread to see if I can actually post something at all. Ok that worked this time👍😀 Early days at the mo since the Reddit collapse but as more users join I'm expecting the variety of content to pick up.

I'm very confused, I was in the Sweden community and someone linked to ANOTHER Sweden community on a different server with different posts. So, where should I be to see all the things?

I’m enjoying it thus far. I wasn’t a serious Reddit user when it first launched but became more frequent about 6 years after it launched. Lemmy still feels more like what Reddit did even in 2011.

I'm getting comfy. It feels right to be away from Reddit.

Your username is perfect.
