Asklemmy

I'm not new since I was always aware of Lemmy but only seriously considering it right now due to the whole Reddit fiasco. I just hope that after the drama and migration dies down, people here stay friendly like how it is right now. Also, I hope the mass migration can start to attract mobile devs to contribute or fork existing projects like Jerboa or even come up with alternatives. I'm optimistic.

I'm really hoping for a slick app or community improvements to Jerboa. It's okay, just not as nice as I'm used to.

I'd really like an integrated option in android to "share to Jerboa" (or other Lemmy app) which would make link sharing easier

I need to familiarize myself to this. I have used RiF for as long as I can remember. So I need to find a new place for my fix.

I think I can get the hang ot it eventually. However, I hope a RiF like Android app for the frediverse gets developed.

2010 reddit basically, maybe a little more unstable right now due to the reddit exodus. I like it and hope it gets improved with more stability and some features.

I like the idea and KBin's software looks really nice. My concern is that it just won't have the critical mass needed to get what I got out of Reddit: niche subs. On Reddit, every single game has its own individual sub and they're all active. That's not gonna work here.

I did set up [email protected] and [email protected], but I don't know if these will take off, and I'm not going to bother trying with individual fighting games or smaller indie titles.

Also, I'm intrigued that KBin is able to talk to Mastodon and Pleroma, but I can't seem to find myself. I search for @missingno but nothing shows up.

Hello World! It's cool.

It’s promising, but I miss having Apollo (or similar) as my interface for the service. I very rarely used Reddit via a browser so not having that robust app is a loss. We’ll see if any of the app developers that have been impacted by Reddits API changes look to support the platform.

Started using Mastodon this year and it was conveniently at the time Ivory, Ice Cubes and Mona were all in the process of shipping beta or final releases. It made the whole experience much more seamless. Mastodon benefited from 6 months of prior unrest in the Twitter community and Devs were already transitioning when Twitter pulled the rug out under them. I think Lemmy will be a harder transition in that respect.

Keen to see how it develops but.

Edit: also interested to see how the decentralised nature of it all plays out for this sort of service which focuses on communities. For Mastodon it seems fine to follow people on other services where it’s still a 1:1 interaction (I with one account follow someone with presumably one account). I’m sort of curious to see how things will scale and play out when you have a dozen different Lemmy services all with their own “Apple”, “music”, “tech” communities and if that dilutes the conversation or allows it to be broader. Bit concerned things may get spread a bit thin at the conversation level, even accounting for the fact accounts can cross post.

Still a little confused about how instances work and subscribing. But other than that I like it, not toxic like reddit. Feel like I just need to familiarize myself more

It definitely needs the rough edges smoothed out if we want to see wider adoption.

Better UI, I just wish the iOS app was more mature than it currently is. Still very usable in the browser.

I've been lurking pretty much on reddit with my 12 year old account, but the new experience here is pretty much ok. The usual teething problems on how to find what is manageable.
