Technology

I really like it thus far. The web app is slick with Safari on iPhone, but I’ve yet to try it on an iPad or PC. The community seems great. Definitely getting an old Reddit vibe. It’s good to be here!

Technically, things need a bit of polish. In particular, I’m talking about the website being unavailable, and today I experienced the joys of the page reloading as I was typing a comment. Fun!

Still, those problems are dwarfed by the quality of the community and the conversations that are had. I’d much rather put up with a few glitches than go back to the idiocy I’d gotten used to. Lemmy all the way!

Jerboa made a huge progress in a short time with the wave of attention Lemmy is getting. I'm liking Lemmy a lot more than rexxit.

Hope most moderators stay there and we get fresh moderation here. (Not sure how were you as moderator, but I had lots of bad experiences)

Luckily some communities I enjoyed there are already here, like Foss, android, linux, open source, Nintendo.

Would love to see many of my subreddits here. (Maybe maybe maybe, specialized tools, unexpected, unixporn, kdeporn, to name a few)

My local instance has quite a few active communities, but I still wish others were more active. One thing I really like is that the discussion in the comments seems to be more thoughtful and constructive.

Next on my to-do list is trying out the mobile apps. Maybe one of them will be like Apollo one day, because it's UI and UX are best in class.

The start has been really exciting and I look forward to seeing how both Lemmy and the fediverse in general develop. Fingers crossed 🤞

I'm enjoying the process of figuring it out. I think I have a basic understanding, but I'm still having a bit of difficulty finding slightly more niche things I'm interested in. I have no regrets deleting my Reddit account, but I will miss certain subreddits.

I like it so far. The web interface is pretty solid and Jerboa is serviceable, though missing some features that I would call crucial to the experience. I can't fault the developers at all though, as it's like two dude to my knowledge. The reddit API thing convinced me to run my own instance for friends.

I'm hopeful lemmy takes off and sees a larger adoption as well, I think that putting the internet back in the hands of individuals is super important as there has been way too much aggregation of services for like the past decade IMO.

I'm leaving behind reddit after 10 years of on and off use, in the last 5 years almost constant use. I'm happy because I feel rhus platform seems really great , I really like the layout and stye of it all. I hope to understand it better going forward

I'm also a recent transplant. I too find the (current) lack of activity in certain niche areas disappointing, but I'm hoping that's temporary. I hope discussions of some of those topics can survive the inevitable fragmentation among instances.

On the other hand, I've installed Jerboa on my phone, and it's working very well. Now I've just got to get busy participating in those niche communities--could be tricky, 'coz the ones I often liked best were the ones I knew the least about. I enjoyed learning from people who already knew the ropes.

Not a fan of the UI, but I love the community here! It's the best parts of Reddit combined with the best parts of Fedi.

it's not as bad as mastodon, not perfect, but workable

I feel the generation gap for the first time when I see people complaining about the difficulty of selecting a server to sign up and connect to!

Other than that, it does bring a lot of the atmosphere of the wild west times of the web, in a good way. I'm liking it!

Hopefully we retain a healthy amount of users after this wave passes and everyone is back at reddit. :)

As of right now, I really like how Lemmy and the rest of the Fediverse operates! Scrolling here seems to be much more lightweight on my low end computer than using Reddit.

Liking it so far. I love that I can spin up my own instance. Only thing I'm missing is a multi-reddit type feature to combine communuties from multiple instances into one feed.

One problem is there is no dark mode button in user settings. I'm sure there is something you can download and apply or something, just would like a little slider in settings before I go snowblind.

Google Power Delete Suite. Don't leave your content there for them to use.

First post! I really like it, but the glitches and app issues due to the influx of traffic has made it a bit difficult to really experience and to consider as my new reddit. This is not an attack on Lemmy, but frustration with the current predicament. I'm excited to see what Lemmy can become.
