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)

So far I am really enjoying it, mostly because whenever you post something you don't get 130493025084385 people telling you that your are a horrible person and completely wrong and offering you unsolicited advice and ignoring your question in the first place.

It is NICE here. For now at least.

I just want Apollo to switch to Lemmy now like Ivory did. A good mobile client is what’s missing.

top 2 or 3 lemmy clients other than jerboa? i never was into custom clients until i found the fediverse (if were not counting modded clients for yt and deezer xD)

I only ever lurked Reddit and am yet to change that here, but I am finding it nice to use. Once more communities, particularly niche interests, get a good amount of frequent users I think it will be an absolute joy to participate in.

Unfortunately, I've been getting some 404 not found of some communities/magazines of some instances that are not from the instance I'm using, e.g. I'm using kbin.social at the current posting account, but let's say that I tried to access something like https://sh.itjust.works/c/skincareaddiction there's no issues whatsoever (since it's the main instance where that community spawned off) but if I tried https://kbin.social/m/skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works then I would get the aforementioned error code. I find it pretty inconvenient that caching/indexing of certain less popular (which I assume is what is happening) community working clunkily, it feels not as reliable than using a centralized service, but I guess that this is the price to pay for a decentralized system.

If kbin is like lemmy, then you have to search for !skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works from your kbin instance.

Now the 404 will have disappeared.

Instead of typing the url, search for skincareaddiction without "!" and "@sh.itjust.works", and you (and all other people in your instance) will now be able to access (federate?) with the community

So far, my experience has been pretty painless. Took about a day to really get used to. Its not nearly as big as Reddit, but I kind of like that.

I have just joined for the same reason and I'm (positively) surprised how familiar it feels to reddit.

My experience has been great! I’m trying to open up and contribute more to help this place grow. I made accounts on lemmy.ml and mastodon.social. While initially it was hard trying to find people and communities to follow, I think I’ve got the hang of it and am finding new content every day! There were some good posts on Reddit that helped me find lists of Mastodon users and Lemmy communities. By the end of the month I’ll be telling all my friends to hop on and helping them with the migration.

It's fine, but it's a pain having to create multiple accounts when some instances aren't linked to the one you picked to create an username. For the rest I think the other comments have already pointed out what would need to improve in the future if we expect to leave Reddit; curiously, most of the problems we have here are the same or similar to the ones while trying to use Mastodon.
