I've been going back and forth between Lemmy and kBin (?). Can't decide which I prefer at this point. I like that kbin has 'tags' when I post a link. (I post a lot of links in my mod role over on reddit.)

I did most of my fediverse learning curve late last year during the twitter migration, so this was no sweat for me.

So far I miss being able to see a graphic associated with links I post--but maybe that feature will arrive one day... I'm prepared to have plenty of patience and look forward to watching how things improve.

It will be interesting to see if this migration matches the twitter adoption curve: lot's of initial excitement, then a big dropping off of participation (which may be a typical pattern of any online adoption?)

I really hate this. I used Reddit for 13 years as a news aggregator/internet 2.0. I don't understand how this whole Lemmy/Kbin instance thing works, I just want to find the primary ~~subreddits~~ sigh, Communities for the things I'm interested in and have them aggregate the content... but now there's all these separate 'instances' each with their own ~~subreddits~~, and they're all empty and I don't know which ones to join to get content from...

The interface is simple and reminds me of old Reddit, which I like. There are some bugs, but that's normal. It's important for people who create communities to actually participate in them. On the mobile version, I wish there was more random stuff in my feed to find new communities easily.

I've gotten more done today than I have in a long time. And spent plenty of time in the Fediverse too. I'm loving this so far, there'll be things I'll miss of course.

So far I'm enjoying the mobile interface on the website more than using jerboa. It'd be nice to get more random stuff on my feed while in ALL view, but I'm not sure if it's because of the instance I'm on or just that there's not much activity. It just makes it harder to find new communities if I've got to go hunting for them. Sometimes I like to see things I hadn't previously thought about, it's more fun to get the random stuff like that.

It's a nice fresh start. Been lurking for 7 years and plan to comment more on Lemmy.

Quality username

As an iOS user on safari, where is the damn “back” button!? I end up reading then having to return to the main menu and re-scroll down. Is this a lacking feature or am I just an idiot?

I'm a fan of it so far. It's slower paced at the moment and I feel like I can keep up with a smaller number of communities.

It's very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me

I like it. I prefer the UI plus it's really refreshing to browse some similar communities i also browse on reddit and not seeing that many memes.

So far good. Great that it has mobile app on google play already. It just needs little bit more activity to get more users here.

Using mlem... just kinda feels like Reddit thru a third party app I guess. Honestly impressed. Didn't have super high expectations but so far they've been blown out of the water.

I like it, but there are issues like timeouts when I try to sub/comment on some posts, but I'll take it if it means being free of corporate control

It's early stages but the conversations here feel more "high effort". I think it might also be because of signup approvals which weeds out bots/low effort posters. I do feel the growth pains with the timeouts happening more often but overall content-wise it is quite nice.

frontend is bootstrap as fuck lol, but it does the job

A bit rough on the edges and scarce in content but I'm hopeful it will improve with time.

Don't miss reddit one bit, this is great! Feels fresh. I like the user interface of Jerboa, slim and not much clutter. Once in a while I get an error, but going back and forth fixes it.

Honestly a great transition. Now I'm looking to replace all sm with fediverse alternatives
