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)

So far so good! I think I'm on the early upswing part of the learning curve. I was just allowed into the instance I wanted to be a part of, and I'm hoping to carve some fuck around time out of work over the next couple of days to figure the bits out that feel somewhat awkward to me still.

I'm amazed it runs so well. It's incredibly speedy for a wss implementation.

I had a bit of trouble signing up, but was approved super quickly and could log in.
(I might bother support later about it, when things settle down)
Even federated topics are blazing fast. Now I am thinking of setting up my own server on my Oracle Cloud Free Tier.

Markdown works just like old.reddit. But it feels like it already has RES and ton's of plugins preinstalled. I am really quite happy.

Pretty great honestly. I've found almost all the "subs" I'm interested in, and the community has been very nice. There's a few small things I'd like to see (UI improvements, 2FA (coming next patch), etc), but those will come in time :)

Even though I select "All" as my default type, it doesn't seem to populate anything after the second page of results? But if I click on "all" manually, I get all the pages. Otherwise, I'm just discovering things still, and exploring - which is fun!

It’s been good so far. I’ve just been lurking, looking at different communities. I’m a long time Reddit user and like others have said, I’m going to miss the really niche subreddits. Hopefully the platform keeps growing!

[–] Puls3@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

I was in so many niche places that I think it'll be hard to really find somewhere to connect with.

I am trying to interact with posts on beehaw.org on lemmy.ml, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to communicate inscance agnostic?
