Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Had some issues getting an account with loading going infinitely until approved, which is just confusing as a new user as there was no notification about it timing out, and almost led to some duplication by accident. But so far it has actually been pretty smooth other than that, I like the UI and the community focus a lot.

It doesn't match reddit yet but it's alright

I greatly dislike the UI. Makes for a bad UX.

Unfortunately, the UI source is not approachable to me (despite being very familiar with web tech). Theming documentation is not there yet either.

As far as content goes, it's still niche, so amount and usefulness varies a lot between communities and overall. But I've liked it in principle, posted comments, and found interesting links/infos.

I'm curious what your problems with the UI are? To me it's pretty close to old reddit.

What lemmy instance should I use? I registered lemmy.ml but I heard it’s very political. Should I change?

Really liking the simplicity and distributed nature of the platform. Woot!
