I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

It's still very new but I think it's a great framework to build on. I do worry about fragmentation (each instance having its own gaming community for example). And the smaller niche subreddits I followed will be hard to replace / replicate here.

I am amazed how fast this platform has grown in a few days. Quite exciting!

I like it. But it will only feel like home when people are sharing all the ideas, advice, questions, news, and most importantly, shit-posting, that I previously got from reddit.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I haven't been here for too long, but it's not bad. I actually like that the community is not too big. It feels satisfying to actually be able to get to the end of the comments. Still learning the ropes, though.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

Just 1 day in and not missing Reddit. I do expect finding the kind of communities I used to visit, but those will come.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For me there is too much whitespace. I want a compact view. It's mostly about text anyway. Buttons could be more prominent.

But in general it's awesome. Finally dipping toes into the fediverse!

It's fucking lit in here. Also fuck Spez.

I am trying to adjust to this format. I am used to old.reddit and RES. But, I'm going to give it a go. I imagine once I get a few sub... sublemmies? going It will start to smooth out for me.

And hey, good luck to everyone on the adjustment period.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So far, so good. The official Android app needs work but the desktop site works well. Deleted Reddit and not looking back.

Seems solid, I was really excited for Mastodon and loved the idea but.......I didn't really use Twitter much so I didn't have a need for it still.

Reddit has always been my go to social media so I'm glad a fedi version of it exists with lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I dig it but I wish there was a more compact view option for the web version.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (7 children)

It is really great. Once the servers stabilize this is going to be so much better than Reddit.

Once you get a hang of how the fediverse works in general, it's pretty good so far. Using mostly mobile atm, nice and clean, functional pretty similar experience to reddit. Aside from a few features missing like search, I'd imagine there is plenty of room for moderator tools too, and the occasional error codes, I'm loving it so far. No ads, just content, and while it's not the firehose that reddit is/was, if this keeps getting popular, I could forsee just as many communities popping up across instances as there are subreddits.

I'm sure with the influx of users from reddit, especially the more technically savvy mods we're going to see a lot of good tools made for the app and with it being open source, I imagine the devtimes are going to be even quicker than dealing with an ok API.

I'm getting comfy. It feels right to be away from Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Its similar on reddit, over time the bigger communities win over most users and the small ones die out.

There are also extreme cases of 2 big communities with same topics and the same number of users, like r/me_irl and r/meirl. You can join both of them, but stuff usually gets reposted between them so there is no need to follow both.

Still definitely needs some polish on the UI / UX front, as well as a more seamless experience for new users. But overall I can definitely see the potential!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Just migrated my account here. Honestly it's getting a lot bigger here than what I've expected. Always lurked around Reddit, but I wouldn't mind changing my route over here. I'm just happy that everyone gets to experience a free and open source alternative :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (6 children)

The UI is just a bit janky and buggy on mobile. The amount up votes is constantly changing as I type this comment. I also think I might of reported this post twice just while trying to scroll.

I do like the size of the communities through.

I'm mostly ok, the only annoying thing is that I like to chose "all instances" especially to discover interesting things, but there's a lot of instances says in Deutsch, Italian, Polish, or whatever, and we cannot block whole instances, only communities, so if there is dozens of communities on an instance, you have to block them one by one

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

It is like wild west here and I like it!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I like it! I'm on Jerboa and it's no different from what I'm used to using Boost, although I do hope it continues to add customization and sorting comments by new wouldn't hurt (unless if I somehow miss the setting in each post)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.

I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.

Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.

It is taking shape as we use and improve it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.
