Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

From what I understand, it's like having multiple independent Reddit websites with their own subreddits. You can still access them all from your own site, but they don't seem to appear as one. This is one of several UX problems that need to be addressed by professionals.

Once you subscribe to one, they will flow into your feed. It gets better.

Do you know of anything like fedi.tips but for Lemmy?

The documentation for the project is good. I started reading through it:

it definitely needs some UX attention

If you know typescript, the devs have repeatedly stated that contributions are welcome!

I do, and looking forward to contribute. I'm not a UX designer though...
