Itβs so nice to see Iβm not the only one who is 1) slow, and 2) slow. The interface takes some getting used to but if you refer to my two previous points I think youβll understand.

not great. reaching my feed or finding communities requires multiple clicks, like why is the local community selection the default in the community tab, it's just stupid. collapsing comments requires more mouse movement and clicking in a different location every comment because of name length, very dumb. communities are too small and not reliable news aggregators yet, not sure why we couldnt just have subreddits move their culture over and agree of a server, or at least set up bots with RSS feeds from news sites or popular stuff in the mean time. lacks customizability for visuals and usage in general. i'd like to have it autocollapse or autohide posts i've already seen, but now i just see the same threads from 2 days ago. user and community pictures in every post on my frontpage are visually noisy. and more and more issues. the devs definitely need help with creating a reasonable browing experience.
undefined> why is the local community selection the default in the community tab
This can be changed in your account settings: [your server address]/settings Scroll down to "Type" (and you may want to have a look at "Sort type" too.
thanks, yeah unfortunately it doesn't work for the communities tab, that still defaults to local for me.
Same here. Quite annoying.
It seems more logically laid out and functioning than Kbin.
I really like how no-frills it is compared to the bloated Reddit situation.
I feel the most active and populated communities need to be more accessible through, even if they belong to another instance.
Comment syncing to my instance is a problem. I get posts but comments, not so much.
I'm having a great time. Lemmy is a little bit harder than Reddit but I have been on Mastodon for some time now so I know how federation works. The only thing about Lemmy I don't like is that it feels kinda buggy and unpolished as it is very early stage and the same posts often reappear. But I like the community and it actually seems to be working so that's pretty cool!
Getting better now that I found wefwef.app. Feels at home.
For me I'm just worries that it wouldn't reach the critical mass to generate enough content to keep people around π₯²
Worried about the future of fediverse, all it takes is a few external bad apples and servers will start defederating. Also even less internal bad apples who decides to make specific desirable features proprietary with the goal to amass the majority to users. Both of these are bad for the fediverse.
I like it, and it isn't as complicated as it initially seemed to me.
Just did it.
In my browser, some sort of bug causes new posts to appear one by one in the feed constantly, pushing down the posts beneath each time. It's basically site-breaking. Works fine in Jerboa though.
Really good! there is some work (or learning) to be done on making links work more painlessly, but on the whole, I really hope this takes off!
Attention,

The only two communities that deal with medicine are these: https://lemmy.ml/c/medicine and https://mander.xyz/c/medicine In any case, you can monitor any new communities of your interest with the tool made available by the administrators of feddit.de https://browse.feddit.de/
Very new right now and seems pretty seemless.
been using Reddit for a few years and I'm just a casual user I'm new to Lemmy and it's kinda hard understanding this fediverse thing and trying to understand the features. I think It's gonna take a while for me to finally understand how Lemmy works
I miss more intuitive comment collapsing, I used it a lot to skip conversations faster than scrolling through them.
The whole federation thing is not intuitive for new folks. Although watching the lemmy.ml bubble is pretty funny.
I'm interested in reading more about Lenny's privacy and internal workings, ~~but this information is pretty hard to find.~~
I'm concerned about a reliable deletion mechanism Lemmy doesn't care about your privacy
Reddit thread of the same story
I'm also concerned by some posts which I hope are not true:
Lemmy's creator banned from r/socialism for posting neo nazi literature
