It's taken a little getting used to, but it isn't too difficult to learn. Agree with loving the simplicity; just wondering if there's a way for us to customize the styling/colors? Also for some reason the votes on posts keep cycling through random numbers, lol
Really can't complain though since it takes a lot of money and time to build stuff like this.
Other than the random communist extremists, I like it, but I hope this place doesnt turn into the next Voat as I have a strong feeling it will.
I like the UI, only thing I've noticed is that comments and upvotes can take quite some time to show up
i'm loving it! it scratches the itch without the reddit ick π€£
The registration process for an account is annoying: Having to look into email and having to explain how you are not a bot ... I guess? Also I can not imagine this scale well, if every registration request is checked by a human. Is there no better solution?
It's not, that just depends on the instance.
Not speaking of app features, only thing missing are people... Which is a problem that will fix itself as time goes on and more people migrate to Lemmy.
I think it's kindof hard to find topics, because even if you set a filter the auto refresh ignores the filter. Still waiting for communities to pop up that match tastes.
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
I quite like the super-minimal interface design of fedia.io. I'm excited to see where this all goes.
I'm not used to the light mode, haha. I hope there's a dark version soon. But overall, it seems like a nice site so far. Edit: Found it, lol. So now it's easier on the eyes!
There is a dark mode! I enabled it in the user settings, it's called "darkly" (unless lemmy.world doesn't have it?)
Have you tried jerboa? It's a bit more buggy than the website right now (to do with all of us joining up I think) but it does have a dark mode.
The page is jumping around some on Safari for iPad, but I'm sticking with it for now.
Loving it. Itβs clunky, sure, but honestly, itβs fine given how much work it takes to get something like this to work well at scale. Things will evolve and Iβm sure instancing, finding communities, mobile app etc etc, will all get figured out. Once thereβs enough momentum in usage, thatβll naturally become the driving force behind a lot of the work that needs to happen.
Iβm just glad that we already have the user base and passion behind an alternative. Iβm more than happy with not having the volume, but having the quality of what contributed to reddit, i.e. the people. In the meantime, please be sure to donate folks.
Really fragmented, but really good.
I dont really like UI, its one of the things that will make me go back to Reddit
It's been taking a bit of tweaking since I decided to host my own instance, but when it works it's fantastic. Feels like the social media of 10 years ago.
I'd really prefer to have the option to make it look/feel like old.reddit. The biggest reason I'm off reddit right now is because I'm concerned the third-party appsassination is going to make them think they can kill off old.reddit, too. Coming over here where it's just aping new.reddit kinda defeats the purpose.
Slow at times but it's improving little by little with more contributors and development.
I'm currently using the web mobile version, and tbh it is already way better than Reddit version lol.
Its pretty decent, pleasantly surprised. I needed to get over the fediverse jargon after that smooth sailin'. Feels goood
It's a little buggy here and there and needs some UI improvement, but once I finish setting up my account and subscribe to communities it's quite good. Being able to search and subscribe to communities from both Local Server and All Servers within Lemmy should be made more clear for new users, as they normally use search bar to search for eveything.
I initially try to access Lemmy and comment posts from my Mastodon account. I can paste Lemmy post url to search bar in Mastodon, hit enter and the post will appear. But it's like parsing a Reddit post and its comment to a Twitter one, it's not the same experience, so I have to create a Lemmy account. I guess it is great if you want to promote something within Fediverse
It's interesting.
I'm not sure on the interface, though I'm sure I'll get used to it. π
My first hour here...gonna take a little getting used to but I like it so far. Much as I was addicted to reddit, a change is probably a good thing. I'm gonna really miss my saved posts once I delete them though
