Asklemmy

My main problem is the Jerboa app on Android does not make it easy to navigate to a specific subforum unless you know the name.

So far I don't quite understand how everything works. I am confident I will figure it out though

Quite enjoyable and, since seeing the sub.rehab site someone else posted, even better. I've found quite a few subs that have made their way over to Lemmy.

My only gripe is that quite a few have made their way to lemmy.world, and it's buckling under pressure. I can't sign up on that instance, nor can I remotely sub to communities from my own instance. Once that's resolved, I think I'll definitely be happy to call Lemmy my new home.

Can't go back anyway - deleted my Reddit account.

Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:

• Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don't need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.

• It's confusing how communities on other servers aren't automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.

• If you add an external community and are confused as to why it's missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it's fine, it's just syncing.

Just joined and other than the app being kinda slow I can get used to this.

I read the Lemmy Documentation before signing up for a server and that has helped me to understand what is going on here. I would say that my experience has been generally positive. I really like this platform.

Greatly improved after I found out about https://mlmym.org/ (old Reddit UI for Lemmy)

Pretty great honestly. I've found almost all the "subs" I'm interested in, and the community has been very nice. There's a few small things I'd like to see (UI improvements, 2FA (coming next patch), etc), but those will come in time :)

It's a learning process. There is definetly a mild learning curve as to how things work here compared to traditional social media platforms. But maybe that's even a good thing as to pre-filter certain audiences.

So far the interaction possibilities seem very satisfying, community seems friendlier than current reddit (maybe that's just the size of the userbase) and there is already enough, I'd call it "base content" as to be a reasonable alternative to reddit. - Which is why I created an account here.

I especially like the threaded, color coded conversation view. Makes it really discernable who responded to whom. I also like the UI very much. Clear and easy to navigate. Only critique here: There is kind of a lot of wasted screenspace on both sides on a 4k resolution.

I think shortcuts for common mouseclicks and formatting like in RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) would go a long way here too.

Well thats my 2c.

It’s been good so far. I’ve just been lurking, looking at different communities. I’m a long time Reddit user and like others have said, I’m going to miss the really niche subreddits. Hopefully the platform keeps growing!

I am trying to interact with posts on beehaw.org on lemmy.ml, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to communicate inscance agnostic?

My self-hosted instance seems to be working well, but I can't figure out how to federate with other platforms such as mastodon.

I guess we'll figure it out at some point.

Maybe I just haven't come across it yet, but I'd like to make threads left-aligned and everything smaller (text, thumbnails etc.)

Needs more discoverability

I mostly lurk on communities. But that's another matter entirely.

Anyway, enjoying being away from the depressing mess that reddit has become. Verrrry slowly getting the hang of things. Signed up in beehaw.org and Lemmy.ml mainly because I didn't know what the hell I was doing!

Main confusion for me is communities. Searched and found a few that are mostly on Lemmy.ml. But I can subscribe to and see from beehaw.org. But some just do not show up until I log into Lemmy.ml

I use jerboa which is a little clunky but I kinda like that. It's a learning curve I guess. How the internet used to be in a way. I'm 53 so remember the day of 33.3 modems and tweaking windows configs (get off my lawn)

I love that I'm actually using essentially a protocol, instead of a corporate service. The discussion here is good, there is a lot of interest in the "old web" which I'm fascinated in, and the place has just enough users to feel comfy and not absolutely chaotic. It's awesome.

I was in so many niche places that I think it'll be hard to really find somewhere to connect with.

I don't really like how the front page looks, it reminds me of new reddit and the official reddit app a bit too much. Other than that, I'm still just looking around and haven't done much. I downloaded an app but it's kinda bad and I'd rather just use a browser for now

I love it and I feel excited about it. How often do I feel excited about new tech? Almost never, because it always comes from the big dominant tech companies, and it only serves to make their influence over humans more and more powerful.

I only used Lemmy for two days. First day was seeing the awesomeness of the idea itself, second day was setting up my own instance to help spread the load of users in the future. Its glorious. :)
