A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My local instance has quite a few active communities, but I still wish others were more active. One thing I really like is that the discussion in the comments seems to be more thoughtful and constructive.
Next on my to-do list is trying out the mobile apps. Maybe one of them will be like Apollo one day, because it's UI and UX are best in class.
The start has been really exciting and I look forward to seeing how both Lemmy and the fediverse in general develop. Fingers crossed 🤞
So far there has been a bit of a learning curve. Still trying to learn how to find communities and navigate everything. Hopefully the more people that join the greater the content that will be available.
As for the experience, I wish there were more options for customizing the look apart from dark/light. Options like font size, etc.
I hope in the near future some of the nuances will be more clearly explained to new users such as how to search for external communities.
I wish the UI was more dense like old.reddit.
these are minor complaints though and I know the contributors weren't building lemmy in anticipation of the API exodus.
I like it! Sure, some rough edges, and a bit of technical difficulties due to the influx of Reddit refugees like me, but this seems like a much friendlier, more real community.
