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)

@bruhsoulz
If you want an example of what happens when two servers block one another.

calckey.social and lemmy.one can talk to each other. So my post is visible here: https://lemmy.one/comment/33034
calckey.social can’t talk with lemmy.ml so the post isn’t on lemmy.ml
Since lemmy.ml is the home server of "asklemmy", it can’t be forwarded to other servers so no one can see it except lemmy.one and calckey.social

I miss the reddit way to only scroll on the main page to see content, but I know that this is not liked by most users, some prefers the old.reddit.com way

I've tried to sign up/login to multiple instances and all of them have issues with logging in.

I still use reddit (for now) but I'm very much enjoying the smaller community feel on beehaw, while being able to join in on conversations in other instances whenever I feel like it.

There have been some stability issues on most of the more popular instances because of the sudden influx, but of course that's to be expected and I just take it as a hint to get off the internet for a while, lol

There's A LOT less spam posts and reused joke comments.

Posting/commenting has been hit or miss. Seems to hang a lot.

[–] Abraman@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 2 years ago

It's probably from all the new server traffic lol

I am so happy this exists. I wish it continued growth and success. It feels like the good old early internet and that’s a very good thing.

I don't really understand it yet, I'm trying to find a boardgame community, but haven't had any luck.

Good so far. The one and only Android app available for it is serviceable, though not without issues. Other than that, if usage picks up I can see myself spending more time here.

Fantastic! Best software ever!
