Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

I greatly dislike the UI. Makes for a bad UX.

Unfortunately, the UI source is not approachable to me (despite being very familiar with web tech). Theming documentation is not there yet either.

As far as content goes, it's still niche, so amount and usefulness varies a lot between communities and overall. But I've liked it in principle, posted comments, and found interesting links/infos.

Jerboa made the experience much better for me.

I'm surprised at how good it is after reading the reviews. The UI has huge margins everywhere but other than that it's great.

it still has quite some bugs, but yeah, the base is already quite solid and I can use it without much restrictions

I'm really optimistic for the future of Lemmy and the Fediverse in general. maybe I'm just wish-thinking here, but I feel so much more at home on the internet again since I discovered Lemmy, Gemini, Marginalia,...
I feel like being back in the internet of my youth again. I just love it :โ -โ )

I love Boost on Reddit which is what Jerboa is based on. So for me it just feels like I'm home.
