@immadeofgold I'm pretty excited despite it being daunting. It reminds me of the 90s internet days. Looking forward to learning something new and fun.

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!

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?

When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

Seems good so far, having some lag issues but that's unsurprising. I'll join a couple of communities and see how it goes over the next few weeks/months.

I'm trying out Jerboa but it keeps telling me I'm not logged in every time I try to do something.

Anyone else having this issue?

it almost feels liberating leaving reddit and I really like this site its very clean and easy on the eyes. There are some responsiveness problems on mobile but I have no idea if that's just my phone.

Quite excited honestly. Things feel like anything is possible here, a sense of optimism and possibility. One that reddit had many many years ago. I have good hopes for the fediverse way of doing things

I'm enjoying it. The mobile PWA needs a card view like the MLEM app, unless I'm missing something.

I dig it.

Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?

I'm hopeful. The Fediverse has certain things I like and approve of. I'm looking forward to having backups of all my Fediverse accounts to prevent losing things when servers drop off. I'm learning the interface again, with mixed feelings. Nice to be in the ascent of a site instead of the peak/decline.

Looks clean and slick as well as familiar, many will find the transition smooth - excellent work!

I think it's an improvement to reddit honestly. The communities seem chill compared to Frontpage so I'll stick around.

Liking it so far!! Especially the spirit, kinda throws back to the mid 2000s

So far I'm really enjoying Lemmy, both the website and Jerboa! But I'm still getting used to the whole federation thing. It's really weird to get used too. Also there seems to be fewer communities/subreddits. I'm missing specific interests...

But the concept is great! I'm excited to be on a open source social network. The mainstream ones are so unethical.

I’ve been here for a few days and love it! I have a community too, called allaboutfantasymedia which I hope to get off the ground soon.

Trying to get used to using a new system, but great to see the growing community here!

Still trying to get my head around this fediverse stuff. I admittedly gave up on Mastodon pretty quickly because I just couldn't figure out how to work it, but I think I'm slowly getting the hang of Lemmy after searching out a few guides.

I'm loving it so far. However, Jerboa could use some work. The font size settings are wacky.

Thanks! It looks more like a Discourse forum than Reddit. I'll reserve judgment for now but after so many companies took their own platform usage we need something like this more than ever.

Thank you and Lemmy feels like it could really become a wonderful haven for us long time Reddit users.

So far, I'm liking it! I enjoy the feel of the community here. I was mostly a lurker on reddit so it's nice to participate for once.

Where’s the home page? I subscribe but I always see Lenny.world. Please help

I’m liking it a lot, so far!
