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)

Any1 know how to search a group for specific posts like reddit? On jerboa for android. Tx

[–] naeap@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

you can search for communities on Jerboa (in the bottom bar, click the thing, that kinda looks like a hamburger menu)
I'm not sure if any other search is done as well, but it seems to be only communities

in the web frontend you can search for users, comments, communities,...
for lemmy.ml as example it would be this URL: https://lemmy.ml/search

I'm pretty inpressed with how much everything is improving in such a short time frame. Feeling optimistic.

Overall it looks promising. Upgrading however from 0.17.y to 0.18.0 went unsuccessful for me. Ended up simply starting over from scratch. Thankfully the instance did not have any noticeable content anyways yet so the only thing lost were two days of headache. I am looking forward to get it more reliable since potential is certainly there.

Cheers

So far? Lemmy is filled with Russian shills. I hope we outnumber them soon.

Joining communities is very counter-intuitive. They are spread around and I ended up joining lemmy.ml communities exclusively, from another instance.

We could use much more space for the text, so far the text is way too concentrated in the middle of the screen in a narrow column.

Now on the content I'm rather satisfied. It's still a bit low in volume and if you compare to reddit it's really small, but we will catch up soon. We should lower our expectations and start building anew.
