It is like wild west here and I like it!

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

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

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

New to Lemmy like most on here rn. Can we get thumbnails for the posts and for links to open in new tabs?

Also, what is the delay on posting comments? Is that due to server usage or syncing to other instances?

Much appreciate the instance!

I like it! I'm on Jerboa and it's no different from what I'm used to using Boost, although I do hope it continues to add customization and sorting comments by new wouldn't hurt (unless if I somehow miss the setting in each post)

i like the minimal look as it mirrors my RES and old.r settings. I would like the ability to stretch the pages out to fill in the empty voids of my 1440 window though. At the moment it looks like Lemmy was built on a mobile portrait view only.

I'm getting comfy. It feels right to be away from Reddit.

Liking the clean interface reminiscent of old reddit

So far, so good. The official Android app needs work but the desktop site works well. Deleted Reddit and not looking back.

I'm mostly ok, the only annoying thing is that I like to chose "all instances" especially to discover interesting things, but there's a lot of instances says in Deutsch, Italian, Polish, or whatever, and we cannot block whole instances, only communities, so if there is dozens of communities on an instance, you have to block them one by one

Im liking it. I'm pretty techy, so I got the gist of the whole "distributed" thing real quick. Honestly, it's also nice that it's still a smaller community. Feels like the old days of the internet, where you could actually interact with people

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?

I think it's kindof hard to find topics, because even if you set a filter the auto refresh ignores the filter. Still waiting for communities to pop up that match tastes.

Quality username

It's a nice fresh start. Been lurking for 7 years and plan to comment more on Lemmy.

This is my first post here! I've subscribed to a bunch of communities I'm interested in, some of them that have come over from Reddit and some new ones. I'm already familiar with the concept of Federated communication apps through Matrix and Mastodon.

Let's make this community a great place to be, talk, share information, and enjoy the things we love.

There's some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it's hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that's what I've been doing.

I haven't found my groove yet. There were a lot of niche communities on Reddit that I was part of (lurked). Have to rebuild that over here.

TBD, the organization seems more chaotic and seems like alot of duplication of communities of the same topic

I hate using apps, so I use the browser on mobile. From that perspective, Lemmy seems snappier. I don't know if it actually is or just the perception from a cleaner interface, and not getting bugged about the app.

I like it and there's probably about as much traffic here was there was on reddit when I was started using it in the early 2010s. The design is nice and I like the federated concept although it is going to be a learning curve for some users. My particular home server is slow and down sometimes but in a way I feel its necessary to take some ownership and contribute to server improvements as we get more users if we want to sustain this.

lemmy is open source though too! so if there’s a bug, someone in the community can help fix it. speaking of which, i had some ideas for the UI that i’d love to propose for lemmy, such as giving posts a slight background color to make them easier to read. kind of like old reddit.

is anyone free to create a PR for lemmy-ui? mostly wondering if there’s a group it needs to be proposed to or something.

It doesn't really feel much different to me than reddit, aside from being less active and having fewer communities. I'm enjoying the smaller feel of the communities here though. It can feel pretty futile to go into a reddit thread with 3k+ comments and try to say anything because youre bound to be buried. It feels like talking into a void. Here on Lemmy, I feel more like it's worth my time to contribute to the discussion and the community. I mean, it's not like attention is my motivation for posting. It just feels empty and pointless to contribute to a social space and get no kind of interaction - or worse, a toxic and negative interaction.

I'm very confused, I was in the Sweden community and someone linked to ANOTHER Sweden community on a different server with different posts. So, where should I be to see all the things?

I tried to reply to another thread but for some reason it never showed. So trying on this thread to see if I can actually post something at all. Ok that worked this time👍😀 Early days at the mo since the Reddit collapse but as more users join I'm expecting the variety of content to pick up.
