Just got here since Apollo is going away and I won’t use Reddit’s app. Not sure I quite get how it works yet, so can’t say how I like it so far. Gotta play around with it a bit. Are there any apps for this yet?

The whole lemmy concept mixed with the current situation feels far more like you are part of a real community. Kinda like in old internet days. I will even break out of my reddit lurker days and try to contribute here.

Hi! New to this all. From Reddit. I mod a few communities on reddit, nothing big but they are tech related. I know a lot of people on both would want to come over, since everybody is pretty upset with reddit rn.

I just have a few questions maybe somebody could help me with;

Where are instances hosted? Can I host an instance myself?

Our accounts, I heard something about them being cross-platform with some other related websites to this, where are they hosted?

Mastadon's code of conduct says 'Protect our community from harassment, malicious or illegal content', what qualifies as illegal? Something that is illegal in China can be legal in other countries, and vice versa.

I only ask because I see a lot of gray in the rules, which I get is needed, but in the end why have rules if it is all up to the judgement of the particular administrator reviewing the case.

Jerboa kinda sucks and Lemmur straight up doesn't let you sign in.

A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.

I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.

I don't fully understand it, but I'll try to get used to it.

Seems good so far, having some lag issues but that's unsurprising. I'll join a couple of communities and see how it goes over the next few weeks/months.

This is my first comment here, hope I'm doing it right!

It takes a little getting used to, but I like it!

I'm enjoying it. The mobile PWA needs a card view like the MLEM app, unless I'm missing something.

A bit confusing, but I'm really excited about this. I hope the 'choose server' part when you sign up gets streamlined a bit. It's very confusing for new people. My first post on Lemmy by the way!

Seems sluggish, rough, and low population, but fuck spez so I'll give this an honest chance.

Well, I am here and off reddit, and reading and commenting. So far so good! It will be interesting to see how this goes.

New here and ready 🫡

I think it's an improvement to reddit honestly. The communities seem chill compared to Frontpage so I'll stick around.

I dig it.

Can we call communities "lemlets?"

I appreciate the speed, at least right now, faster than reddit so that's a bonus !

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?

When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

It's similar to Reddit in many aspects, which definitely helps. I had to come over from Reddit after they killed the third party app I've been using for the better part of a decade. Excited to see where this goes.

I suppose the Reddit issue has at least got me to look into Lemmy. Seems interesting, albeit quite small. Still, oak trees grow from small acorns, etc, etc. ;-)

Confused? Excited! Yes to both! Will take a while to get acclimated and understand how it all works together, different from Reddit as this seems to be separate and together at the same time. Glad you're all so open to accept the Reddit refugees, have felt very welcome, so a very big thank for that.

Figured I’d just pass along a quick “hello” as someone that just jumped on tonight. Keen to see how the service develops and grows. Hope Lemmy in general takes off in time! Certainly early days (nabbing my first name as a user name is always a sign of that!), but there’s great potential.

I'm trying out Jerboa but it keeps telling me I'm not logged in every time I try to do something.

Anyone else having this issue?

it almost feels liberating leaving reddit and I really like this site its very clean and easy on the eyes. There are some responsiveness problems on mobile but I have no idea if that's just my phone.
