Yeah, I'm enjoying it outside of the small bugs. They're not breaking the platform so I can live with them until they're smoothed out. But the smaller communities are kind of a nice change of pace to be honest, it's definitely like old Reddit before it got a case of the capitalisms. Terminal case, unfortunately.
But with the decentralized nature of it, we don't have to worry about that happening again!
So far, so good. The official Android app needs work but the desktop site works well. Deleted Reddit and not looking back.
i like the minimal look as it mirrors my RES and old.r settings. I would like the ability to stretch the pages out to fill in the empty voids of my 1440 window though. At the moment it looks like Lemmy was built on a mobile portrait view only.
I really like the new style of interactions, even though I do currently miss the hundreds of thousands of funny/dumb comments some posts had (hoping that will happen eventually though)
I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)
I like it, I like how it works. I think it could replace Reddit just fine. However I'm not really getting my "fix". On Reddit, I always had fresh content, which I'm not really seeing here. Plus, I was subscribed to a bunch of niche communities that don't exist here.
I definitely feel the content drought, but switching my feed to All + Active, and just watching all of the random crap go by has been interesting.
Once the hobby communities start picking up speed again, I think it could be really good
It's very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me
i'm loving it - even the rawness of it - eg kbin grinding at the moment - it feels like you're a part of the development. my only concern is what happens where there are multiple large communities/magazines/whatever.your.instance.calls.it. Say there's a !funny@lemmy and a !funny@kbin. would be great if these could be aggregated together some how. There could be a lot of duplication across communities. Or will one rise supreme and the others dwindle to nothingness? who knows.
Involve more work but this kind of change is for the best. Freedom from the tyranny of corporate greed!
Is this the part where we seize the means of production and eat the rich? Because I'm here for it.
It's confusing and change frightens me. I love it.
I've honestly been pleasantly surprised so far.
Like, the communities over here are clearly tiny compared to the ones we've been used to over on Reddit, but they're also large enough that they have enough interesting content to keep you browsing. In some ways, the environment here feels a bit more welcoming right now than a lot of Reddit due to there being a lot of pretty high-quality content from folks that clearly want this place to succeed.
That said, there's still some growing pains. Some of the instances are pretty sluggish, there are bugs that need to be worked out (this isn't to knock on the devs - I'm thankful this works at all!), and the number of niche communities is still vanishingly small.
I quite like the super-minimal interface design of fedia.io. I'm excited to see where this all goes.
Its a better experience than reddit so far, the communities are small, most people are respectful and its not just the same shit in recycling.
Exactly. Everyone on here has been awesome without any backhanded comments
Other than the random communist extremists, I like it, but I hope this place doesnt turn into the next Voat as I have a strong feeling it will.
How do I know if this instance is good? I just joined Lemmy.world because it was the first in the discovery page, but Iβm not sure if this is an extremist server or not
I'm not sure either but it seems mostly fine other than the vocal minority. I assume if this instance gets a lot of people from reddit they will be squashed out but time will tell.
I exclusively used old-Reddit, and I'm not in love with the new interface yet, but it's not bad.
It took a solid couple days to wrap my head around how things work, where posts are coming from and how to find communities Iβm interested in. Iβm nervous thatβs going to be just enough of a barrier that folks will say forget it when trying it out.
Otherwise itβs a refreshing take. Really wish there was an iOS app you could find in the App Store. All I find is mastodon apps.
Itβs ok. Navigating takes some getting used to and the lower content and engagement so far is a bummer. Hopefully it will take off though. A mobile app at some point would be nice.
I've gotten more done today than I have in a long time. And spent plenty of time in the Fediverse too. I'm loving this so far, there'll be things I'll miss of course.
I like it and there's probably about as much traffic here was there was on reddit when I was started using it in the early 2010s. The design is nice and I like the federated concept although it is going to be a learning curve for some users. My particular home server is slow and down sometimes but in a way I feel its necessary to take some ownership and contribute to server improvements as we get more users if we want to sustain this.
At first I thought it would be much more complicated to join and use than it really is. I really like the concept but the platform still feels pretty janky, needs polishing and some QoL features that are currently missing. Hopefully we will also get some awesome third party mobile apps. Overall it's very promising and I hope it will get adopted widely.
