Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.

So far the mobile site is way better than Reddit. I feel like Reddit was always humping my leg trying to get me to install their shitty app.

I also really like the federated aspect, but I do agree with others in that I fear this may be too confusing for the average user and it won't catch on.

That is such a low bar tho. The Reddit mobile site is the only thing worse than the official app.

I'm trying out Jerboa but it keeps telling me I'm not logged in every time I try to do something.

Anyone else having this issue?

I lost my job the day I found out about the issues with third party apps for Reddit. I found Lemmy and Mastodon searching for alternatives. So far this community is a lot more wholesome and I'm enjoying being a part of it

I feel like I just logged on to USENET 2.0…

…that’s a compliment, BTW…

…and I’m old enough to not only remember the original USENET, I used to admin a USENET server back in the 90s.

Honestly I'm glad that reddit is going down the tubes. It's time for a change.

Thanks. So far, I'm really enjoying Lemmy. What I really miss is a good iOS client. But I guess it's hard to build something like Apollo...

It seems like a cool idea. The idea of picking a server to sign up for didn't throw me for a loop like it does some folks; just like email, right? I think it needs a better way to interact on other instances though. Like for this one, I found lemmy.world from a link on Reddit, then opened this post. But I couldn't vote or comment because my account was on midwest.social. So I had to copy the !lemmyworld@lemmy.world community spec from the sidebar, go over to midwest.social in another tab, click the search button, paste the community spec there, re-find the same post, and now I can comment. Ideally I'd instead just be able to comment directly on lemmy.world using my already-logged-in account on midwest.social, or at least go directly to viewing the post via my own server with one click. Functionality like this would probably require a browser extension but that's better than nothing. I actually found one for Mastodon that's supposed to allow something like this for that service but so far I can't figure out how to get it to do its thing, and I don't think it supports Lemmy at all so far.

Ainda continuo no reddit,mas gosto de variar as coisas.. estou gostando do Kevin, só não entendi o lemmy..

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 1 points 1 year ago

I'm liking it. I'm sure it'll take some getting used to, but I'm off Reddit for the next 3 days so I'm sure I'll figure it out!

[–] newrebirth@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Still a young community, hopefully this’ll be able to take on Reddit someday in terms of user growth and usability

How is the federation supposed to work regarding logins? I made my initial account on lemmy.world but I'm unable to login and subscribe to communities on other federated servers. I presumed the primary server I setup on would allow me to subscribe and comment on communities on other servers?

Really happy to be here - would love it if this place worked out. What's the best way to ensure that we get folks moving over?

Yo what up, fam?

Been a wild six months losing Tweetbot, moving to Ivory, and now Reddit has decided to trip over itself. I’m eager to see how this site (and the general federated versions of the reddit idea) end up.
