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

Hello world :)
It looks like the original internet. Love it
I'm quite enjoying it so far! mlem is surprisingly great
Digging it so far. The only thing that I have noticed, and this may just be due to the large influx of people coming to the site, it's been taking literal minutes for me to submit a post or edit my profile

I like it! Feels kind of cozy! ^_^ It's good to be here!
Hey thanks, glad to be here. Lemmy seems very promising!
I like it so far but it's strange and feels like I'm exploring the web with no experience.
That's the fun part. I haven't felt like this exploring a new website since I was a kid.
I am hoping this takes off. Still poking around trying to figure everything out!
It's pretty confusing to find a community on another website, then search for it on here a specific way, then you can subscribe and post once it comes up. It's not too bad once I got used to it though. New users basically will need to be given the name of this website and how to find existing communities on other websites and post there. That's 2 things that need to be simple to have this grow.
This is a very different experience! I'm currently posting from a Mastodon server to a Lemmy server. I'm excited to see how a federated web can serve creators and users alike.
It reminds me of older websites in a way. Probably got too used to reddit
It's all new, if a bit confusing, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it like I did with Aim, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and now Lemmy.
Hi there! I'm having trouble uploading pictures, but other than that, it's nice
I'm finding it hard to get rid of the "Open Reddit"'s muscle memory
That was easy for me. Apollo was Reddit for me. I deleted my account, removed that app, and now the barrier to entry of reaching Reddit would be going to the mobile site, soโฆ Iโd rather have all my teeth pulled with a rusty pair of pliers. Addition cured.

I'm a big fan of it. The website is great and I'm thankful that I can interact with posts and comments on other servers. I think for most people's adoption the picking of a server to join is intimidating because there are so many options.
To draw more users it needs to be made abundantly clear that you can interact across servers.
I like the website. I like the idea. I like lack of advertising and hyper-paranoia and consumer algorithms.
What I don't like is some of the devs describing themselves as 'communists' and 'anarchists.'
Extremism is never a good look, and the fact that Lemmys founders are... Definitely tickling that dragons tail is concerning to me

I'm trying to understand it still. I understand you can visit communities from any other instance, but are communities shared between them? I mean, if there's an r/NFL in lemmy.world, can lemmy.ml also contain an r/NFL and would those two be two different things?
Have a look at this post, which will help you find some communities to join: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/61827
In short...
- Your account (and every account) has a home instance. Both you and I have our accounts on
lemmy.world. - And every
community(aka subreddit) also has a home instance. The home instance for this community happens to be also belemmy.world, same as our accounts. - But through federation, the posts from each community gets copied from the communities home server onto each subscribed user's home server. So you can subscribe to any community on any server that
lemmy.worldfederates with.
So while it's possible for multiple instances to have an nfl community, it's not necessary since you can sub to the NFL community on another instance and that's totally normal and expected. Think of it as the subreddits name includes its instance name, so [!nfl@lemmy.ml](/c/nfl@lemmy.ml) is just a different subreddit than [!nfl@lemmy.world](/c/nfl@lemmy.world), just like on Reddit you could have competing subs named /r/nfl and /r/nflfootball. And just like reddit, when things start to calm down, I think you will see that in cases where a bunch of dupe subs exist... one or two with active mods start to dominate on user count and those end up being the most interesting. It will be a bit wild west for a while though. Lemmy is a lot smaller than reddit, though, when I find dupes of a topic I care about, my strategy had been to subscribe to them all and I'll cancel the ones that flopped a few months from now when it's clear what is active and what's dead.

Thank you! :D Allthough I still have some hope left that we don't have to stay permanently, this feels promising ^^ There isn't an iOS Client though, right?
I really like the UI. The sign up process was a little rough though. The idea of the different servers and signing up via those servers was a little jarring at first.

Good so far! Is there a way to sort comments by upvotes on Jerboa?
