Asklemmy

Same here. I do feel and see that a LOT of work will be required to get lemmy where it needs to be but something tells me that these are the interesting days for Lemmy!

Confusing. Took me a while to figure out how to reply to this

Long live federation! For me it’s just nice to see centralized social networks are losing popularity.

It's gonna take a while for the chaos of everyone migrating from Reddit to die down and for the place to become useable.

Also, Lemmy seems to have the same annoying friction Masto has where it's too easy to get redirected to another instance's webpage. You suddenly can't comment, like, or basically do anything and it's not immediately obvious why.

Once again suggesting federated social media start using a centralized frontend on one single website and just let the servers themselves be federated. You would go to the same one website, ex lemmy.com and log into your chosen instance, staying logged in even if you visit another instance.

The thing with lemmy it seems that you can install your own instance and the "federation magic" shares content between instances, but not accounts ?? !!!

Honestly, pretty good.

Something that I will call out is that I really appreciate the live changes in the thread on the website itself. Makes interacting with comments and everyone a lot easier.

Like Mastodon, I'm getting used to the decentralized nature. Now that I found subscriptions and the option to change my view to subscriptions, things are easier. I'm just worried that topics are going to get big on disparate instances that aren't linked. But as I use it, I'm liking it.

For now it is nice to be outside corporate sanitation.

I need to familiarize myself to this. I have used RiF for as long as I can remember. So I need to find a new place for my fix.

I think I can get the hang ot it eventually. However, I hope a RiF like Android app for the frediverse gets developed.

I'm trying things out on Mlem and may try switching to browser for a while to see if it's better. As far as I can tell... I can't save posts or comments, search for anything, block communities I don't feel like seeing, see comments I've made, lots of posts repeat, can't easily find communities, etc. afaik things are still pretty new, so that's fine... but it's not SUPER usable in this form. Still, it's nice not to feel afraid to comment like I did on Reddit where I felt like you'd often get torn apart unless you were VERY familiar with a sub-Reddit.

Literally just got here, but I'm finding it easier to get started than Mastodon, since communities are easy to find.

However I'm wondering if there is a bunch of communities I have yet to discover, and no idea how to discover them.

One question I still have is how quickly posts and comments propagate across the Fediverse. How can I be sure the comment I'm writing actually shows up across other instances, and how long after I write it does it take on average to show up other places?

Just joined Lemmy, logged out of my reddit account last night. I'm done with reddit, they've fucked around for too long. 13 years on that site for them to absolutely fuck us.

I'm very much enjoying it here though, I can lurk (while still upvoting to ensure I participate), I can get a lot of the same stuff here. Less commentary, but that'll change as this place grows. Unless reddit cedes and spez fucks off, I doubt I'll go back. Thanks for accepting me Lemmy, y'all are dope.

I like it, but the Android app (Jerboa) has some annoying bugs.

Former Reddit user here. It's a bit confusing but I'm holding up. I'm glad I found Kbin as it seems pretty user friendly compared to the various Lemmy instances. I'm excited for the future of both networks, and look forward to getting my head around it all a little better.

little wonky ngl, and i wish there were ui tool tips/ a small user guide for the uninitiated, but once u get over the initial learning curve it seems to be fine.

Great, it's very similar to old reddit. It only needs a little more content.

I'm using Jerboa and I can't figure out how to see the list of my subscribed groups.

Out of all the fediverse things, subreddits translate most well to instances, so it's less confusing than say mastadon, I'd say.

I like that it’s still so small. None of this karma farming just diluting from high quality content and conversations

It's a bit more complicated than what I'm used to but I'm actually really enjoying learning more about how it works. I've been largely checked out of all but a handful of obscure subreddits for a while now

Having trouble creating a community. Wanted to create a Rimworld and a Hunt showdown community but it's taking ages. Otherwise, great! I don't even miss Reddit.

@hllywluis Try kbin.social

There's not a single middle eastern sub, and I doubt there ever will be😞

Lemmy.ml performance is... slow due to overloading, and other lemmy servers sign-ins are busted - endless loading circles, endless createPostLike console log spam.
