Asklemmy

So far, so good. Excited to see more variety in communities as more users discover and migrate to lemmy.

I like it a lot. I feel more engaged. I like the community.

Using lemmy zoomed it in my phone is a nice experience. I see everything. Looks good on my desktop also. Still trying to get a feel for this place

It's growing on me.

Once I added a few different instances it became much better! Content will come. But the best users from Reddit will migrate along with us!

Honestly, mobile needs a breakthrough app for iOS. It is not nearly as new user friendly as Reddit was when I started there. The whole instances/federation stuff is new to me so there is that additional layer to learn/understand. Here to give it a try though and I am hopeful for a new and different route for sharing and communication.

Liking it a bunch! Chief complaint is how sometimes posting is instantaneous and sometimes it's a 45 second lag. Same with subscribing to communities. Seems to be the various *.ml communities.

I'm new to lemmy but not to federation. I found it easy to understand and I like the system way more than Reddit, but I still have a lot of questions and desire to improve things that I dislike. My main problem is the smallness that prevents niche communities from thriving. But other than that I've been surprised at how active and big it seems to be in general. It might slow down later after the reddit drama passes by and people start forgetting. We'll see.

Enjoyable so far. Feel a bit mystified, but it always takes me ages to figure out how to use new things.

Currently messing around with a browser extension to change the appearance and layout, as I had been finding that a bit of a hurdle.

It’s easier than I was expecting (using kbin, at least), but still growing pains. I assume that there just aren’t communities set up for some of the game-specific subreddits I was on (Zelda, Genshin, Star Rail, etc.) but I don’t know that I’d really expect there to be yet.

I also noticed that some people have profile pictures/avatars and I can’t figure out how to set that. I assume it’s because I just made my account today though that I’m not able to yet.

Couple of nit-picky things that I'd love to see changed.

This comment box. There's nothing to visually divide it from the original post. I got it figured out, but my brain is still resisting it as bad UX.

On the home feed, the group an article comes from is tiny and not obvious. My eye is constantly jumping back and forth from subject to group, group to subject, and it's fatiguing. The subject is only half of what describes the post: what group that subject belongs to is the other.

On the home feed, I have to click Subscribed for my feed. Setting and getting a cookie is at most two lines of code each in vanilla javascript, seems to me that'd be an easy choice to remember.

really cool i love it

So far, so good.

I am taking to it a bit quicker than Mastodon since I used Reddit more than Twitter.

The biggest thing I miss currently is being able to Google things and adding Reddit after the search bar for results. I get it, we're not as big as reddit yet. I'm cautiously optimistic after getting burnt out from the VOAT migration a few years back

pretty alright but man most admins are hella toxic

I enjoy getting into something new. Looks promising. Has some scaling issues as expected. But it looks like a great, new place. I hope this grows into a solid social media forum. 👍
