I dig it.

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

I think it's an improvement to reddit honestly. The communities seem chill compared to Frontpage so I'll stick around.

Hi, just joined but have been lurking for a day or two.

Just trying to find my bearings at the moment. I haven't joined any communities yet but will look at doing that later today.

I'm hoping that Lemmy is a less toxic space than Reddit became, and that an influx of us refugees doesn't ruin things for people who have been here longer. My hope is that those of us who migrate here learn to fit in with the ethos and rules of Lemmy, rather than trying to change things (or worse, expecting them to change to fit what we're used to "over there").

I'm looking forward to getting stuck in!

I am here on mobile using Mlem. Mlem has an interface superficially like Apollo, but it doesn't have nearly the polish and features, like swiping posts to the side to up/downvote. I didn't realize (until I lost it) how much that single capability improved QoL. Until an app comes along with better UX and QoL, I probably won't stay. (I don't doomscroll on my computer either).

I'm loving it so far. However, Jerboa could use some work. The font size settings are wacky.

Thanks! It looks more like a Discourse forum than Reddit. I'll reserve judgment for now but after so many companies took their own platform usage we need something like this more than ever.

Thanks for having us! Much learning ahead for me though it seems, but this does look promising.

I’m liking it a lot, so far!

I'm hopeful. The Fediverse has certain things I like and approve of. I'm looking forward to having backups of all my Fediverse accounts to prevent losing things when servers drop off. I'm learning the interface again, with mixed feelings. Nice to be in the ascent of a site instead of the peak/decline.

First comment! Finally.

So far I'm really enjoying Lemmy, both the website and Jerboa! But I'm still getting used to the whole federation thing. It's really weird to get used too. Also there seems to be fewer communities/subreddits. I'm missing specific interests...

But the concept is great! I'm excited to be on a open source social network. The mainstream ones are so unethical.

I am happy whenever there is a fresh start. Brings out the flaws of my old ways.

It's frankly really nice. The conversations here are more civil in what I have seen so far, and feel organic. I really love the "vibes" of this space and the fact that it is so much better than doomscrolling on Reddit. I have seen some very nice comments here, and have spent the last few days trying my best to understand what "federation" is. It is a bit daunting for a not-so-tech-savy person like me, but hey, it's great. I really hope it grows nicely and becomes a good alternative.

Thank you for getting this up and running, and to anyone reading, may you have a wonderful day :)

So far, I'm liking it! I enjoy the feel of the community here. I was mostly a lurker on reddit so it's nice to participate for once.

Until now I really enjoy my experience on Lemmy. The UI is great and minimalist, and things actually work, unlike on Reddit lol

There are some features I miss. I always loved finding subs that allowed one to set a custom user flair, and I don't think we have that yet. And, of course, there aren't as many people, so some communities are just empty. Trying to figure out if a community is already out there or if I should try and make one myself, it's a little overwhelming to just start out. But... It's exciting. I don't know if this place will be a forever home, but it's promising.

I’ve been here for a few days and love it! I have a community too, called allaboutfantasymedia which I hope to get off the ground soon.

So far it is okay a little confusing to get started but not too bad, and it seems to be getting busier every day

Where’s the home page? I subscribe but I always see Lenny.world. Please help

Thank you and Lemmy feels like it could really become a wonderful haven for us long time Reddit users.

Confused? Excited! Yes to both! Will take a while to get acclimated and understand how it all works together, different from Reddit as this seems to be separate and together at the same time. Glad you're all so open to accept the Reddit refugees, have felt very welcome, so a very big thank for that.

Pretty cool to see. I'm excited to see it grow. I'm pretty adamant about Mastodon being a great platform and seeing other decentralized platforms grow is awesome. I wanted to know how I can see a list of instances, or if anyone has any recommendations? I know myself and a lot of others likely joined the largest instances first, but I don't want to add onto an already stressed server.

Trying to get used to using a new system, but great to see the growing community here!

so this is where we flee pala, hi!

I like it! Thanks for having us
