I like it. But it will only feel like home when people are sharing all the ideas, advice, questions, news, and most importantly, shit-posting, that I previously got from reddit.
I'm getting comfy. It feels right to be away from Reddit.
It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.
The UI is just a bit janky and buggy on mobile. The amount up votes is constantly changing as I type this comment. I also think I might of reported this post twice just while trying to scroll.
I do like the size of the communities through.
I love it! I love the energy of everyone trying to figure out what the future will be. And it feels good to be out of this corporate dystopia that reddit has become.
Think I'm still trying to get my head around it all, such as trying to join new communities. Trying to take my time to read through guides and such, but so far it's been good!
Liking the clean interface reminiscent of old reddit
Still definitely needs some polish on the UI / UX front, as well as a more seamless experience for new users. But overall I can definitely see the potential!
Im liking it. I'm pretty techy, so I got the gist of the whole "distributed" thing real quick. Honestly, it's also nice that it's still a smaller community. Feels like the old days of the internet, where you could actually interact with people
We need a critical mass on a few subs and somehow help out with the servers so they don’t blow up. If we get those two sorted, we should be okay.
Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.
other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc
I'm mostly ok, the only annoying thing is that I like to chose "all instances" especially to discover interesting things, but there's a lot of instances says in Deutsch, Italian, Polish, or whatever, and we cannot block whole instances, only communities, so if there is dozens of communities on an instance, you have to block them one by one
I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.
Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.
It is taking shape as we use and improve it.
I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.
I'm liking it a lot. I think it will get even better once more people show up. It's kind of cool to be part of pioneering this experience, though. I do feel like this is going to grow into something substantial.
I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)
I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?
Its similar on reddit, over time the bigger communities win over most users and the small ones die out.
There are also extreme cases of 2 big communities with same topics and the same number of users, like r/me_irl and r/meirl. You can join both of them, but stuff usually gets reposted between them so there is no need to follow both.
It’s 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.
It seems comfy. I'm skeptical of the UI and UX for the website and the app (even jeroba) but I came from reddit boost which is absolutely a phenomenal experience. I hope this evolves and improves in these ways
Community feels more welcoming. I hope it continues to grow exponentially, because it'll need it to work!
Your username is perfect.
Once you get a hang of how the fediverse works in general, it's pretty good so far. Using mostly mobile atm, nice and clean, functional pretty similar experience to reddit. Aside from a few features missing like search, I'd imagine there is plenty of room for moderator tools too, and the occasional error codes, I'm loving it so far. No ads, just content, and while it's not the firehose that reddit is/was, if this keeps getting popular, I could forsee just as many communities popping up across instances as there are subreddits.
I'm sure with the influx of users from reddit, especially the more technically savvy mods we're going to see a lot of good tools made for the app and with it being open source, I imagine the devtimes are going to be even quicker than dealing with an ok API.
It is like wild west to me and I like it!!
There's some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it's hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that's what I've been doing.
Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong
Quite like it. Jerboa is usable despite its early development state.
I miss and probably will continue to miss some of the smaller niche communities, which are really only viable on huge servers/networks. Notably /flying and /NetBSD. There probably aren't enough active users to create thriving communities on both reddit and lemmy. Although /r/flying participates in the blackout, I expect most redditors there will stay. I used the site on desktop most of the time, too, and I don't see myself cutting all ties, either.
So, ambivalent, I'd say. I'll see what the mobile app situation will be in a few weeks; Infinity has worked well for me.
