For some reason I can't log into the web portal, and I still haven't figured out how to subscribe to a community.

So far, so good.
I am taking to it a bit quicker than Mastodon since I used Reddit more than Twitter.
It's been very nice both on mobile (Jerboa) & on PC. One thing that has been bothering me as a person that cares about my privacy is what some people are saying on the privacy subreddit on reddit about lemmy.

not great. reaching my feed or finding communities requires multiple clicks, like why is the local community selection the default in the community tab, it's just stupid. collapsing comments requires more mouse movement and clicking in a different location every comment because of name length, very dumb. communities are too small and not reliable news aggregators yet, not sure why we couldnt just have subreddits move their culture over and agree of a server, or at least set up bots with RSS feeds from news sites or popular stuff in the mean time. lacks customizability for visuals and usage in general. i'd like to have it autocollapse or autohide posts i've already seen, but now i just see the same threads from 2 days ago. user and community pictures in every post on my frontpage are visually noisy. and more and more issues. the devs definitely need help with creating a reasonable browing experience.
undefined> why is the local community selection the default in the community tab
This can be changed in your account settings: [your server address]/settings Scroll down to "Type" (and you may want to have a look at "Sort type" too.
Edit: this being my first reply, I have no idea why it came out with undefined> .
thanks, yeah unfortunately it doesn't work for the communities tab, that still defaults to local for me.
Really good! there is some work (or learning) to be done on making links work more painlessly, but on the whole, I really hope this takes off!
Its somewhat confusing, but I guess thats to be expected on a new site.
Just joined lemmy. Thereβs a lot for me to learn. But Iβm willing to spend the time and learn how to navigate after Reddit completely messed up the user experience. I hope the subs I followed there turn up here eventually. But as they say patience is a virtue
It's OK, just wish the app was better. In android 11 and older you can force jeroba to open all lemmy-like links with jeroba but if you're on android 12, the only way to get somewhere other than lemmy.ml is if you're already subscribed to a place on another server. There is no way to browse sublemmys on other instances which really sucks.
