It's been good! I have to say my favorite element has been figuring out different ways that I can blend my Lemmy interactions with my Mastodon use.

Still great as expected. Reddit screwing any mentions of migration or Lemmy will not last long as the EU might impose sanctions against the Snoosite

I'm trying to be more active on lemmy than on reddit where I just lurked like you, so that's been a change. But I'm having a great time! Also, spinning up an instance took some trial and error but it was a lot of fun :)

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

Still learning how to use this but I think I will be good

My instance gets an occasional hiccup but usually reloading the page gets me through. Even if Lemmy doesn't end up with a Reddit-sized userbase I'm excited to see what it becomes. All-in-all feeling pretty positive about it.

I am trying it out just to understand it's nuances. I think the concept is solid, but I feel like the federated part could use a little more work so it's more possible to use whatever lemmy instance you prefer. Signing up on any particular instance is fine (Though I wish it had more options), but if I cannot get onto an instance that I prefer, it's tricky to curate my experience.

That being said, I think it is a fixable problem, and I have ideas to fix that based upon other websites I've used, but I have no idea where to submit them.

The thing that's confusing me most is links, whether to communities or individual posts.

I see links in a format like this:

[email protected]

Sometimes the exclamation mark is part of the link and it works, and sometimes it's there but not part of the link, and my phone thinks the rest is an email address.

Is there a guide anywhere to how to do links properly? TIA.

EDIT - yeah, so in my example above, the exclamation mark is not being treated as part of the link for some reason?

I appreciate the fact there is no infinite scroll on the front page.

My main lemmy instance went down, and I had to go to three because so many people are creating accounts. So bad; but, for a good reason.

I'm loving it!

As an aside, I know a lot of people are using Jerboa for their mobile browsing app of choice, but I've discovered that you can just use the Lemmy progressive web app (PWA) instead and get the same experience as desktop. In Chrome, login to whatever Lemmy instance you're registered with, click the triple dot menu, and click "install app". You'll get a "Lemmy" app downloaded and added to your homescreen that looks and functions just like the website.

So far I don't quite understand how everything works. I am confident I will figure it out though

It reminds me of old reddit, so I'm pretty happy with it. I hope we aren't going to completely ruin whatever the Lemmy old guard had going on, though.

It's good. Except for the confusion about linking to communities on different servers. That's a real show stopper, if you ask me. Which you did, technically.

So far so good! Is there any mobile apps available though? That is 90% of my reddit browsing.

So far it's been good! Lemmy has made me hopeful for better social media. I'm not hugely into twitter-style social media so I was never really able to appreciate Mastadon.

I'm actually quite surprised with how much content is here already. There are regular posts and conversations, and a good mix of content. It's not at the level reddit is in terms of volume, but I don't feel starved or anything. I look forward to the future here!

It's my first full day on Lemmy and I'm liking it a lot so far. It's definitely smaller than reddit but it feels more personal this way. I'm sure that will change after the exodus that will be happening over there soon.
