It's all new, if a bit confusing, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it like I did with Aim, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and now Lemmy.

I'm finding it hard to get rid of the "Open Reddit"'s muscle memory

digg déjà vu

I feel kinda dumb.. I truly did not get the whole fediverse thing and panicked trying to guess where most of us refugees would go, I made an account on mastadon, kbin.social, karab.in, lemmy.world and maybe a few more I now cannot recall, all same username as my Reddit account.. I assume now that was overkill? I hope there is a way I can merge them all together at some point.. and Oddly enough, this was my last instance(? That's what lemmy.world is right?) that feels less confusing than all the previous ones I tried..

Growing pains but in time I think this whole fediverse thing will grow on me!

Hi, just joined but have been lurking for a day or two.

Just trying to find my bearings at the moment. I haven't joined any communities yet but will look at doing that later today.

I'm hoping that Lemmy is a less toxic space than Reddit became, and that an influx of us refugees doesn't ruin things for people who have been here longer. My hope is that those of us who migrate here learn to fit in with the ethos and rules of Lemmy, rather than trying to change things (or worse, expecting them to change to fit what we're used to "over there").

I'm looking forward to getting stuck in!

I really like the UI. The sign up process was a little rough though. The idea of the different servers and signing up via those servers was a little jarring at first.

Hi there! I'm having trouble uploading pictures, but other than that, it's nice

A bit confusing, but I'm really excited about this. I hope the 'choose server' part when you sign up gets streamlined a bit. It's very confusing for new people. My first post on Lemmy by the way!

I dig it.

I like it so far but it's strange and feels like I'm exploring the web with no experience.

I kinda like it actually. A cross between discord and reddit or smth. I'm only 1 hr old so I'm gonna withhold judgment for when I get more accustomed to the ui.

Just deleted all past activity from my reddit account, deactivated it and joined you marry bunch. Glad to be here.

This is a very different experience! I'm currently posting from a Mastodon server to a Lemmy server. I'm excited to see how a federated web can serve creators and users alike.

So far the mobile site is way better than Reddit. I feel like Reddit was always humping my leg trying to get me to install their shitty app.

I also really like the federated aspect, but I do agree with others in that I fear this may be too confusing for the average user and it won't catch on.

Honestly I am feeling pretty optimistic about using Lemmy. It is definitely a learning curve in hoping the federated community but I really enjoy the idea of it. I’m hoping it can gain some more traction and get bigger in the near future.

I'm trying to understand it still. I understand you can visit communities from any other instance, but are communities shared between them? I mean, if there's an r/NFL in lemmy.world, can lemmy.ml also contain an r/NFL and would those two be two different things?
