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)

Feddit browse should have an option to be a sortable list.

It feels very exciting to be here! It's a lot more open and customizable than other social media. I really hope that this is a small glimpse of what the future of the internet could be.

I'm liking the platform, but it could use more niche subs. Doesn't matter what it is, I can always assume that there exists a subreddit for everything. I hope to see lemmy get there one day.

Very buggy, but overall a lot more user-friendly than I expected. The fediverse was a bit difficult to grasp as a concept (especially since all the explanations love to say that it's like email, which it's not, and then refuse to clarify further), but I think I got it now. Overall I can see myself moving entirely to lemmy.

Was also a reddit lurker before joining lemmy. It’s been pretty good so far! The only issue I had was that my first password was too long but it still let me make the account, so I couldn’t log in until I reset it to a shorter one. Other than that no issues other than thing occasionally taking a while to load. Loving the friendly community!

Well, i've created account on sopuli.xyz,had some fun, and now it's unreachable.

[–] slashzero@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.

[–] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, most likely. Also, admins of sopuli had a lot less resources than on this instance, so maybe that also payed it's role.

People and posts here are better. Tech experience is worse. The web interface is worse (too much broken JS and websocket crap), I can't login from a mobile browser, the federation scheme is confusing, the Android app story is not there yet, Jerboa doesn't support older phones that still work perfectly well with RedReader, yada yada. I have somewhat more retro tastes than probably most of the younguns here, so my thoughts are heading towards writing my own desktop front end. But I don't feel like I want to attempt mobile development.

[–] MisterHavoc@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

My only confusion or concern so far is duplicate communities amongst diff servers.

[–] boetro@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

I've enjoyed it so far! Still some communities I miss that were more active on Reddit but I'm sure as it grows that will change
