There is something of a learning curve with Lemmy. I've been using it on my own server now for just over 24 hours. Basically, I am liking it though. I know it's still somewhat clunky but I suspect it will get better with time.

I have some major frustrations that I'm hoping will get sorted out over time. I'm not really spreading the word about it to my friends yet because I don't want them to try it out and then bail. I'm happy with it enough that the satisfaction of sticking it to spez as a placeholder for my anger at all billionaire capitalists makes it worth it.

I'm waiting for it to mature before I evangelize it as well. The current state of it could frustrate somebody less technical.
