This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I've been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90's. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.

[-] constantokra@lemmy.one 22 points 1 year ago

After onboarding the interface is kind of rough to figure out. Mostly because the mobile web version isn't that great, and jerboa also isn't that great, and they're different enough that switching back and forth gets you confused. With reddit's problems, I imagine we'll see some more client apps and ui improvements show up in the next couple months with the added attention, and that'll be the end of that. Honestly, I thought it'd be rougher. I do wish I got more replies to my comments though, so i'm trying to make a point to post a bit more than I ordinarily would.

[-] Laplacian@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The desktop web interface seems pretty similar to old reddit/rif so I haven't had that much difficulty with browsing. The fact that I'll be losing my niche subs is the hardest part of moving entirely to Lemmy though.

I can’t wait for Lemmy to be my time waster and news grab all in one ❤️

Hell yeah, just got here and am ready boost some engagement! I already like it here, I forgot that being able to see the amount of down votes used to be a thing

*Looks like I'm the 69th comment here, what a start!

[-] MJBrune@beehaw.org 28 points 1 year ago

One of the things I love about Lemmy is that I'm literally over here in a different instance. I can willingly see other content but I also have this local group I can be close with. It brings me back to the old Internet with the benefits and reach of the new Internet.

[-] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 year ago

Excellent point. A small community, that can easily interact with the larger community. This is what the internet always should have been.

Yep… Bought Sync and Apollo long ago. Moved to Lemmy today. Slowly moving all of my main socials to decentralized/federated platforms because the greedy corpos breaking their own shit.

[-] cosmicsploogedrizzle@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 year ago

I would kill for a Sync for Lemmy

Longtime Apollo user, just moved to Lemmy. Hoping the blackout brings many more with me, and hoping Lemmy can handle the surge

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 51 points 1 year ago

Glad to have you! Tell the apollo dev we'd be happy to have them make an app for Lemmy!

I created our android app, jerboa, and there's also an open source one in development for iOS called mlem

Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city 🤣. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There'll be downtime and hiccups, but I'm a patient man.

I apologize in advance as I'm one of the many reddit refugees seeking alternatives. I can't believe how fast reddit is unraveling and you'd think with u/spez's recent AMA he would try to placate the community instead of inciting the situation even further. Anyway, Lemmy's pretty cool so far.

This has the same feeling as digg v4 apocalypse that originally brought me to Reddit many moons ago. Now, here we are again... the lemmyverse. I hope this can grow to be a true evolutionary replacement for Reddit.

[-] MDKAOD@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

I saw admin here say 'not on this instance' because it was too difficult to moderate.

[-] Puls3@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago

I think separate instances are actually perfect for porn, there can be an entire instance dedicated entirely to people's specific tastes - making that their problem and not ours.

We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.

Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can't make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.

[-] XPost3000@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Praying that Infinity for Reddit moved to Lemmy 🙏

[-] Garrathian@beehaw.org 23 points 1 year ago

Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that's fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out

Lemmy doesn't have adult content tho

[-] cosmicsploogedrizzle@lemmy.ml 45 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.ml doesnt. But any instance can host it if they want to.

When the main servers get hit hard (such as lemmy.ml), will users and/or communities using other servers be less impacted by the wave? Or will the wave hitting the popular servers be a problem for everyone?

Will federation save us to some extent?

[-] Furball@sh.itjust.works 35 points 1 year ago

I think if people can get past how it’s a bit complicated they can pretty easily just pick a random smaller server to sign up to. I’ve been on Reddit recommending sh.itjust.works because it doesn’t ask for an essay or some shit, just a username and password, as god intended

Once, Apollo shuts down, this site will get hit hard. I look forward to it and want to make as many posts as I can to increase the level of activity.

Is there porn on Lemmy? I’m not asking for scientific purposes or for a friend.

[-] DarraignTheSane@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 year ago

All of the main servers I've seen have a no porn rule. I suppose it's only a matter of time until someone's willing to stand up their own Lemmy porn server and take on the responsibility of moderating that.

[-] orclev@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I suggested to PornHub that they should host their own lemmy instance for porn. It's stuck in limbo though awaiting mod approval.

Edit: I'm curious, I see I've gotten two downvotes, can someone who downvoted provide a reason why? Just anti-porn sentiment? Do you not want porn on lemmy? Don't like the company PornHub? Think it's a stupid idea for some reason? I'm serious, I'd like to know why you seem to disagree with the suggestion that PornHub should host a lemmy instance explicitly to post porn on. It's entirely possible I'm missing something here.

Fedi/Lemmy, etc....are going to see a historic deluge.

Good luck and thank you for busting balls to help put reddit out of business and into the trash heap.
