There's some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it's hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that's what I've been doing.

It's quiet in here, I know this will take time.

Is there an app I can use in my phone? I am using mastodon at time, but it's harder for discovery purposes.

I like it too.

But the app really needs some improvement (I know it's still in alpha, but the typing glitches make it really annoying to type)

But so far it's been good and I see good potential in it.

I hope there is some way to implement something like streamable/imgur/redgifs on lemmy. I don't mind if it's these services if fediverse alternatives aren't there yet.

They form the backbone of content creation, from Porn to highlight clips of sports subreddits.

I wish the layout was more responsive. When I look at it on desktop it still looks formatted for a phone.

It's been taking like 20-30 seconds to submit a comment or post.

I'm enjoying it more than reddit for the time being for the same reason I enjoyed reddit before it was commercialized. The slight technical barrier to entry is keeping the braindead out for now.

Kind of a catch 22 though, because you need to have some of the idiots to flesh out the population. Time will tell.

I haven't found my groove yet. There were a lot of niche communities on Reddit that I was part of (lurked). Have to rebuild that over here.

Creating sublemmies hangs forever it seems. I was able to create one on day one of the reckoning, but not anymore.

Also, I thought Lemmy was broken but for whatever reason it performs badly in Firefox but Chrome works okay. I don't like this because I hate Chrome/Google but it isn't clear what the issue is in Firefox. I have NoScript, Ublock, etc. there so likely plugins

I dislike how in the app there's no functional inline image/video viewer, at least on my end (unsure if it's not working on my end or its just something everyone lives with).

Signed up today, liking it a lot. Looking forward to learning more about it, seems like a viable reddit alternative.

I'm strongly, strongly tempted to go on an angry rant about the unusability of the front page jumping around constantly. I'm thinking of donating in order to help out, because I love the idea of a federated forum/news aggregator. Is this a new bug, or something?

I think there's a lot of room for enhancing the user experience, but it's definitely not bad. This will come in time.

I feel like the content and discussion is a bit more mature than reddit. This is the main reason I will stay here.

I LOVE the interface here

All I'm missing right now is sorting (comments at least) by new, top or best etc

I just signed up after looking for alternatives and it looks clean (so far). NGL, i miss some of the communities that i frequent but if this is for the common good, I'll suck it up and trod forward.

I tried using Jerboa, but there doesn't seem to be way to login, but everything insists that you login first. I guess I'll stick with it in Chrome until someone comes up with Lemmy Is Fun.

I love your username! And yeah, I like the direction of where Lemmy is going, especially with the number of users migrating. I used to hate how there were so many things going on in Reddit, however here it's a lot more minimalistic as it's still a very small community. Reminds me of simpler times back then.

i'm loving it - even the rawness of it - eg kbin grinding at the moment - it feels like you're a part of the development. my only concern is what happens where there are multiple large communities/magazines/whatever.your.instance.calls.it. Say there's a !funny@lemmy and a !funny@kbin. would be great if these could be aggregated together some how. There could be a lot of duplication across communities. Or will one rise supreme and the others dwindle to nothingness? who knows.
