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

Loving it. It’s clunky, sure, but honestly, it’s fine given how much work it takes to get something like this to work well at scale. Things will evolve and I’m sure instancing, finding communities, mobile app etc etc, will all get figured out. Once there’s enough momentum in usage, that’ll naturally become the driving force behind a lot of the work that needs to happen.

I’m just glad that we already have the user base and passion behind an alternative. I’m more than happy with not having the volume, but having the quality of what contributed to reddit, i.e. the people. In the meantime, please be sure to donate folks.

It's interesting.

I'm not sure on the interface, though I'm sure I'll get used to it. 😅

Creating sublemmies hangs forever it seems. I was able to create one on day one of the reckoning, but not anymore.

Also, I thought Lemmy was broken but for whatever reason it performs badly in Firefox but Chrome works okay. I don't like this because I hate Chrome/Google but it isn't clear what the issue is in Firefox. I have NoScript, Ublock, etc. there so likely plugins

Slow at times but it's improving little by little with more contributors and development.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I like it too.

But the app really needs some improvement (I know it's still in alpha, but the typing glitches make it really annoying to type)

But so far it's been good and I see good potential in it.

It's a start. I have lots of issues, but I'm willing to let them go in the hope that it will work itself out in time.

Getting a bit more used to it after some hours of use. Using the site is mostly self-explanatory, especially if you're used to Reddit, Discord and Mastodon. Looks promising.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I do see a lot of potential but there are some issues I'm facing. For some reason, I'm unable to login to lemmy.world from my phone. There's not a whole lot of content but I'm expecting that to change. It's very nice here, overall.

I love lemmy, way more than Reddit. I was already excited about the fediverse with mastodon and I absolutely love seeing another use case for it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Not speaking of app features, only thing missing are people... Which is a problem that will fix itself as time goes on and more people migrate to Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I was barely active on reddit, and very new to kbin/lemmy and I like the until now. I am pretty active on mastodon, I can see the added value.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'd really prefer to have the option to make it look/feel like old.reddit. The biggest reason I'm off reddit right now is because I'm concerned the third-party appsassination is going to make them think they can kill off old.reddit, too. Coming over here where it's just aping new.reddit kinda defeats the purpose.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love it, but I do wish you could stretch the layout to the full width of your monitor.

Also, og:images doesn't show up when you're posting links.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Really fragmented, but really good.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I quite like the super-minimal interface design of fedia.io. I'm excited to see where this all goes.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

i'm loving it! it scratches the itch without the reddit ick 🤣

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

My first hour here...gonna take a little getting used to but I like it so far. Much as I was addicted to reddit, a change is probably a good thing. I'm gonna really miss my saved posts once I delete them though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I hope there is some way to implement something like streamable/imgur/redgifs on lemmy. I don't mind if it's these services if fediverse alternatives aren't there yet.

They form the backbone of content creation, from Porn to highlight clips of sports subreddits.

I wish the layout was more responsive. When I look at it on desktop it still looks formatted for a phone.

It's been taking like 20-30 seconds to submit a comment or post.

The registration process for an account is annoying: Having to look into email and having to explain how you are not a bot ... I guess? Also I can not imagine this scale well, if every registration request is checked by a human. Is there no better solution?

I like the design. Not so much a fan of the lag, but I'm hoping that improves.

I joined Reddit seventeen years ago because of Aaron Swartz’s involvement. Lemmy feels more like someplace Swartz would have liked than Reddit ever did.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Also trying tildes, but lemmy seems more like what I'm looking for. Like the ui!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (8 children)

All I'm missing right now is sorting (comments at least) by new, top or best etc
