Asklemmy

It’s promising, but I miss having Apollo (or similar) as my interface for the service. I very rarely used Reddit via a browser so not having that robust app is a loss. We’ll see if any of the app developers that have been impacted by Reddits API changes look to support the platform.

Started using Mastodon this year and it was conveniently at the time Ivory, Ice Cubes and Mona were all in the process of shipping beta or final releases. It made the whole experience much more seamless. Mastodon benefited from 6 months of prior unrest in the Twitter community and Devs were already transitioning when Twitter pulled the rug out under them. I think Lemmy will be a harder transition in that respect.

Keen to see how it develops but.

Edit: also interested to see how the decentralised nature of it all plays out for this sort of service which focuses on communities. For Mastodon it seems fine to follow people on other services where it’s still a 1:1 interaction (I with one account follow someone with presumably one account). I’m sort of curious to see how things will scale and play out when you have a dozen different Lemmy services all with their own “Apple”, “music”, “tech” communities and if that dilutes the conversation or allows it to be broader. Bit concerned things may get spread a bit thin at the conversation level, even accounting for the fact accounts can cross post.

I'm enjoying, the UX feels a bit lacking but it can become better with time, I'm reading the docs to see if I can help and running my instance, I'm enjoying so far!

Concerned regarding the state of apps in iOS, probably will have to mourn the loss of Apollo (which was absolutely amazing)

So, honestly, the only thing that concerns me is duplication of various "subreddits", for a lack of better term.

I searched for Technology, and I found two different ones. I know that's how the Fediverse works, but it may cause confusion and drive down user engagement

I barely just started but it feels almost as natural as normal reddit.

Lemmy federates Reddit better than Mastodon federates Twitter. Mastodon is confusing. But on Lemmy I can clearly see the relationship between instances, and I can use it all as one big system.

Honestly im loving the experience and even though its getting big because of all the reddit drama, im loving the small communities feel that it has for now. I have to say though that navigation cross instances its being a bit of a headache and i hope it gets better, much better. At least it should notify me that i am not able to see the rest of the comments on a post because of some settings of the instances / my account no? Or am i missing something?

I'm also a new user and to be honest, it's pretty much the same browsing experience for me. I use Jerboa, and browse all for now, subscribing to subs that I like. I'm on Beehaw, and it federates with a lot of instances, I can pretty much find all the entertainment I would want from reddit.

Even more so, the community is much more frendly, cozier and there are much less noise and significantly more meaningful conversation which I truly appreciate.

I won't delete my account on reddit, because even though I loathe their practices, I also dislike removing information - I'm all for archiving discussions and information.

I like it a lot so far! Most of the time it's pretty much indistinguishable from how Reddit used to be, with the only annoyance being that any interaction with an instance other than the one your account is on has a very noticeable lag, but I guess that can't really be helped.

Having trouble creating a community. Wanted to create a Rimworld and a Hunt showdown community but it's taking ages. Otherwise, great! I don't even miss Reddit.

I'm really hoping for a slick app or community improvements to Jerboa. It's okay, just not as nice as I'm used to.

I'd really like an integrated option in android to "share to Jerboa" (or other Lemmy app) which would make link sharing easier

It's turning out confusing. Like I created an account on lemmy.world. Then I saw kbin existed and came over here... or went over there? And created a new account, with the same name. But now I'm seeing that the stuff I comment here... there... on kbin anyway, show up also on lemmy, so now apparently I have two accounts for the same stuff? Except I didn't saw a way from lemmy to log in on kbin with the account from over there. If that's even something that can be done. Kbin looks friendlier. Actually... am I writing this on kbin or on lemmy... what the fuck is going on? Where the hell am I?

I'm interested to see what this turns into. As a Reddit refugee, I'm trying to figure out if I want to jump right into here or take some time away from social media and wait to see what bubbles to the top.

I'm not new since I was always aware of Lemmy but only seriously considering it right now due to the whole Reddit fiasco. I just hope that after the drama and migration dies down, people here stay friendly like how it is right now. Also, I hope the mass migration can start to attract mobile devs to contribute or fork existing projects like Jerboa or even come up with alternatives. I'm optimistic.

I think it does federation better than Mastodon. I think confusion comes from the way ActivityPub decides to do things

Literally just got here, but I'm finding it easier to get started than Mastodon, since communities are easy to find.

However I'm wondering if there is a bunch of communities I have yet to discover, and no idea how to discover them.

Times out quite a lot.
