Well, I am here and off reddit, and reading and commenting. So far so good! It will be interesting to see how this goes.

I find this website extremely confusing. A beginners guide would be good.

Is there an easier way to find communities on other instances? I wish I could browse another instance as if it were "local" to organically find more communities.

So far, so good. Jerboa does it for me on my phone. I hope sole of the reddit third parties(looking at you infinity) will cross the gap to Lemmy.

Happy to be here :)

Finding my feet, but it all seems pretty straightforward. It will be good to see how these communities develop and mature...

It looks like the original internet. Love it

A bit uncomfortable with the UI and stuff, as I am an old.reddit user, I like to consume content in my comfortable way. I normally do not tend to have issues with UI changes, but reddit was extremely comfortable in that mode. I will however try my best to get used to this, as I'd do anything to avoid Reddit from now on.

Digging it so far. Some technical issues but I think they may just be due to the mobile app I am using (sometimes when I open a post, the comments displayed are the ones from the last post I looked at). But it feels much more.. Democratic? Than reddit did.

It's good so far; a few UX/UI issues need polishing, some more display options would be nice too.

The whole issue of community@instance is going to take some getting used to for people, and it's not clear how that's going to shake out in the long run. I'm not yet certain whether this will become my default space, but I'm willing to give it a go.

Seems sluggish, rough, and low population, but fuck spez so I'll give this an honest chance.

I'm a little confused, but cautiously optimistic. It took a while to sign up and log in, but I got that far, so I guess I can work out the rest too! As a bit of a Reddit lurker, I'm out of my comfort zone, but committed to upvoting and commenting to help build the community!

Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.

Initially I was pretty confused as to how Lemmy worked but if you take like 5-10 minutes to just look around it all kinda just clicks. Looking forward to something new here.

Really happy to be here - would love it if this place worked out. What's the best way to ensure that we get folks moving over?

I just learned about this site 5 minutes ago. I’ll be done with Reddit soon.

Figured I’d just pass along a quick “hello” as someone that just jumped on tonight. Keen to see how the service develops and grows. Hope Lemmy in general takes off in time! Certainly early days (nabbing my first name as a user name is always a sign of that!), but there’s great potential.

I like the website. I like the idea. I like lack of advertising and hyper-paranoia and consumer algorithms.

What I don't like is some of the devs describing themselves as 'communists' and 'anarchists.'

Extremism is never a good look, and the fact that Lemmys founders are... Definitely tickling that dragons tail is concerning to me

Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

I'm confused yet intrigued

It takes a little getting used to, but I like it!

Question: is the "lag" from hitting the post button to seeing the post intentional or is that just a sign of stressed servers?

I have already made the transition to mastodon and now lemmy. I am loving the change and the freedom we are all gaining.

/u/spez is awful. (First post on Lemmy on any instance!) Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!

Hi everyone! I'm /u/thatlightiningjack from reddit! (also obligatory fuck spez)

Hello world :)
