12 years Reddit refugee here:

So far the concept is VERY promising but it still does all feel a bit wonky. Signing up was a headache and took me hours, sign in still sometimes work sometimes not.. A huge of development will be required to get lemmy where it needs to be to really compete with Reddit, but so far, I'm very hopeful and happy!

It is also very hard to subscribe to other server's community (or subreddit equivalent).

E.g.: i had account from beehaw, if i want to subscribe a channel from lemmy.world i need to see the list of community from lemmy.world comminity list, but I cannot subscribe from there because i dont have lemmy.worlda account. So i need to back to beehaw and search it again in community search bar.

In jerboa android, I didnt even see a way to search new community

Would be nice if there is a way to subscribe other server easily

Yeah, just found that out the hard way myself. I got to lemmy.world and suddenly was no longer logged in etc... That is something that def needs improvement.

Agreed. There's a similar issue on Mastodon that's been confusing people for years and still hasn't been addressed, let's hope Lemmy prioritizes it a bit more!
