Rumors, happenings, and innovations in the technology sphere. If it's technological news, it probably belongs here.

I like it - I just want a few Reddit-ish features:
You can already do number 1, on the browser by clicking the collapse icon and on the official android app (Jerboa) by holding down your finger on the right of the commenter's username.
oh, I totally didn't see that. XD
I like it! Sure, some rough edges, and a bit of technical difficulties due to the influx of Reddit refugees like me, but this seems like a much friendlier, more real community.
I can’t get mlem to work, so I’m forced to use the web mobile interface, which isn’t ideal. But that’s a problem of having habits and expectations ingrained for a decade of using specific apps.
Uptime of different servers I’ve tried has been spotty. Pair that with the natural growing pains of my more niche subreddits being my more active ones and I’m struggling to find them here…
It’s been a rough day. I want to believe in the potential, but just like with mastodon - federated solutions need to really work on onboarding. It’s helpful that we’re getting large populations due to the lack of ability to access reddit, which Mastodon struggled with. But things still feel chaotic and I don’t know that getting things drilled down to a well curated list of communities will feel as well put together as it did on reddit.
I'd like to be able to hide the story summaries on community pages, so you just see the topic. Reddit was super compact that way, which I really preferred. This was constantly abused too, of course...
Beehaw has been wonderfully welcome, so thank you all for that. Between /kbin and Beehaw I honestly don't have any desire to go back. The community here is awesome and it's even more awesome that we aren't split up by app. I can switch between /kbin and Beehaw as I like, and even post from each onto the other. Blows my mind how well it works!
Honestly it hurts my eyes. I hope someone comes up with a few more themes or CSS-appliable styles for it.

I like it! I especially like that you don't even need to make a separate account to interact with the communities on there! (I'm literally commenting from a custom fork of glitch-soc right now) That alone makes Lemmy better than any normal Forum out there.
Edit: doesn't appear that Lemmy handles content warnings in replies
You have :vim: in your user's "tags" (flair? desc? Idk). I haven't found a good vim community on Lemmy, so I'm interested if you have a recommendation.
I guess that would make "community discovery" as a particular thing I'm having some difficulty with. Getting better as I'm getting more familiar with everything, but it is a pain point
I love it so far. The only thing I'm having trouble with is finding an efficient sort option similar to "Hot" on Reddit. Though the Hot option on Lemmy shows posts from days ago.
I like it so far. The tech seems good, it's not that hard to wrap your head around the federated aspect, but as always the life and death of a platform like this is in the community. If a decent amount of people decide to come to Lemmy, I think it will be great.
It's ok, just needs more users and content.
