I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

It's fucking lit in here. Also fuck Spez.

I like the simple, 'clean' looking format. I wouldn't say no to a dark mode option but otherwise I think it's ideal. It's restful because it's not too visually busy.

Edit: Found the dark mode option, yay!

I am finding it to be very clunky.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

def needs a number of UI fixes, though I remember when reddit was a mess and so was OSS in general.

OSS now runs 1/2 of your operating systems and most of your servers.

For me there is too much whitespace. I want a compact view. It's mostly about text anyway. Buttons could be more prominent.

But in general it's awesome. Finally dipping toes into the fediverse!

Can we disable the auto "refreshing" that add new post when we scrolling the home screen?

Just migrated my account here. Honestly it's getting a lot bigger here than what I've expected. Always lurked around Reddit, but I wouldn't mind changing my route over here. I'm just happy that everyone gets to experience a free and open source alternative :)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

It is like wild west to me and I like it!!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's still very new but I think it's a great framework to build on. I do worry about fragmentation (each instance having its own gaming community for example). And the smaller niche subreddits I followed will be hard to replace / replicate here.

I am amazed how fast this platform has grown in a few days. Quite exciting!

I am trying to adjust to this format. I am used to old.reddit and RES. But, I'm going to give it a go. I imagine once I get a few sub... sublemmies? going It will start to smooth out for me.

And hey, good luck to everyone on the adjustment period.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Seems solid, I was really excited for Mastodon and loved the idea but.......I didn't really use Twitter much so I didn't have a need for it still.

Reddit has always been my go to social media so I'm glad a fedi version of it exists with lemmy!

I haven't been here for too long, but it's not bad. I actually like that the community is not too big. It feels satisfying to actually be able to get to the end of the comments. Still learning the ropes, though.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I love it! I love the energy of everyone trying to figure out what the future will be. And it feels good to be out of this corporate dystopia that reddit has become.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.

Your username is perfect.

Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong

The UI is just a bit janky and buggy on mobile. The amount up votes is constantly changing as I type this comment. I also think I might of reported this post twice just while trying to scroll.

I do like the size of the communities through.

It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Once you get a hang of how the fediverse works in general, it's pretty good so far. Using mostly mobile atm, nice and clean, functional pretty similar experience to reddit. Aside from a few features missing like search, I'd imagine there is plenty of room for moderator tools too, and the occasional error codes, I'm loving it so far. No ads, just content, and while it's not the firehose that reddit is/was, if this keeps getting popular, I could forsee just as many communities popping up across instances as there are subreddits.

I'm sure with the influx of users from reddit, especially the more technically savvy mods we're going to see a lot of good tools made for the app and with it being open source, I imagine the devtimes are going to be even quicker than dealing with an ok API.

I use only jerboa, like before I used only Infinity for reddit. I find lemmy very cool, when there was the twitter migration I tried for some weeks mastodon but was not my ambient. Lemmy, being like reddit is more my kind of site. I like that in Jerboa I have the tab for my subscription, the tab for my istance (the italian one in my case) and the all tab. I find it realy usefull. The only thing is that searching for sub or for some thing is not immediate as in reddit, but I think that with time we will get a more populate site.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.

Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.

It is taking shape as we use and improve it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is really great. Once the servers stabilize this is going to be so much better than Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I think it’s really cool over here. Even though specific communities aren’t what they were I’ve enjoyed just going through all the new post and interacting with people and I could get used to that
