Technology

Happy to find communities that parallel some of the subs I was active in, hopeful that others will pip up without my having to figure out how to start them myself. I'm very hobby oriented.It takes care of the idle scrolling urges well enough though.

I'm using Jerboa and kinda like the look, although it somehow has a but of an Android 2.1 vibe. Could be the ridiculously large don't when opening a post (when browsing through them it's fine). I also haven't found a user friendly way to search between communities and subscribe to one. So far i had to search on one site, post the url in another and subscribe, then wait for it to appear in jerboa. I'm probably stupid and do it the wrong way. If we want users here, outside of tech communities anyway, it's needs to be waaay easier to use.

I'm sure the content will grow and it's all new, so it's unrealistic to expect everything to be as slick as reddit was.

Currently using the Jerboa app. No complaints. Really nice stuff.

Love it! Looking forward to the day where there’s larger communities and 3rd party apps, I’m normally a lurker and it’s hard when there’s so little content, it’ll come with time and I’m doing my part.

I only prefer Beehaw. I look into the popular lemmy.ml but the categories were all over the place.

He was the best frontman motörhead ever had

Honestly I’m really liking it more than I thought I would. It will take a while for it to be as comfortable as Reddit was, especially as Mlem development matures, but I’m most likely here to stay once Apollo has officially bitten the dust

I'm liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there's not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that's a good thing and humans aren't actually meant to have a constant information firehose?

I think having already used Mastodon, albeit mostly as a lurker, helped, but I didn't find it difficult at all to get up and running on Lemmy and subscribe to a bunch of communities.

On the desktop version, thanks to not having loads of useless scripts, ads and other "stuff" on the page like Reddit does, Lemmy's interface loads quicker in my browser than Reddit's and is more responsive. I have had a few hiccups with Jerboa logging me out of my account and images appearing too small to view, but in general, it works well - fast, clean interface, no distractions.

The one downside really is that the content that was (is, but not accessible) on Reddit is not here yet, but that will change with time. Still, the atmosphere is much better, and I feel much more inclined to post here as there aren't the hordes of people waiting to tear someone down who has a different opinion (cough, Reddit...) So overall, pretty good and glad I finally stumbled upon Lemmy.
