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.

I think its pretty promising. There are some improvements that could be made with UI, but thats the tiniest gripe.

This doesn't particularly matter, but in the interest of answering your question, the equivalent word to "subreddits" here is "communities". Thus the /c/ instead of /r/.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 :)

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

Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:

• Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don't need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.

• It's confusing how communities on other servers aren't automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.

• If you add an external community and are confused as to why it's missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it's fine, it's just syncing.

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

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