It's still very new but I think it's a great framework to build on. I do worry about fragmentation (each instance having its own gaming community for example). And the smaller niche subreddits I followed will be hard to replace / replicate here.

I am amazed how fast this platform has grown in a few days. Quite exciting!

I haven't been here for too long, but it's not bad. I actually like that the community is not too big. It feels satisfying to actually be able to get to the end of the comments. Still learning the ropes, though.

For me there is too much whitespace. I want a compact view. It's mostly about text anyway. Buttons could be more prominent.

But in general it's awesome. Finally dipping toes into the fediverse!

TBD, the organization seems more chaotic and seems like alot of duplication of communities of the same topic

I am finding it to be very clunky.

I like it. But it will only feel like home when people are sharing all the ideas, advice, questions, news, and most importantly, shit-posting, that I previously got from reddit.

It's fucking lit in here. Also fuck Spez.

I like the simple, 'clean' looking format. I wouldn't say no to a dark mode option but otherwise I think it's ideal. It's restful because it's not too visually busy.

Edit: Found the dark mode option, yay!

Can we disable the auto "refreshing" that add new post when we scrolling the home screen?

I am trying to adjust to this format. I am used to old.reddit and RES. But, I'm going to give it a go. I imagine once I get a few sub... sublemmies? going It will start to smooth out for me.

And hey, good luck to everyone on the adjustment period.

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?

I exclusively used old-Reddit, and I'm not in love with the new interface yet, but it's not bad.

I mostly like it, until the front page spazzes out (I think it's randomly starting to update, or something?). Then it becomes totally unusable. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that that should even be physically possible, and is really starting to annoy me.

It is like wild west to me and I like it!!

So far, so good. The official Android app needs work but the desktop site works well. Deleted Reddit and not looking back.

Seems solid, I was really excited for Mastodon and loved the idea but.......I didn't really use Twitter much so I didn't have a need for it still.

Reddit has always been my go to social media so I'm glad a fedi version of it exists with lemmy!

I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.

Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong

@ruud@lemmy.world

New to Lemmy like most on here rn. Can we get thumbnails for the posts and for links to open in new tabs?

Also, what is the delay on posting comments? Is that due to server usage or syncing to other instances?

Much appreciate the instance!

i like the minimal look as it mirrors my RES and old.r settings. I would like the ability to stretch the pages out to fill in the empty voids of my 1440 window though. At the moment it looks like Lemmy was built on a mobile portrait view only.

I love it! I love the energy of everyone trying to figure out what the future will be. And it feels good to be out of this corporate dystopia that reddit has become.

It's nice, I just wish there was more activity. Hopefully it will grow overtime. My concern is the barrier of entry for new users. The whole "different instances" thing can be quite confusing.

Think I'm still trying to get my head around it all, such as trying to join new communities. Trying to take my time to read through guides and such, but so far it's been good!

The UI is just a bit janky and buggy on mobile. The amount up votes is constantly changing as I type this comment. I also think I might of reported this post twice just while trying to scroll.

I do like the size of the communities through.

Once you get a hang of how the fediverse works in general, it's pretty good so far. Using mostly mobile atm, nice and clean, functional pretty similar experience to reddit. Aside from a few features missing like search, I'd imagine there is plenty of room for moderator tools too, and the occasional error codes, I'm loving it so far. No ads, just content, and while it's not the firehose that reddit is/was, if this keeps getting popular, I could forsee just as many communities popping up across instances as there are subreddits.

I'm sure with the influx of users from reddit, especially the more technically savvy mods we're going to see a lot of good tools made for the app and with it being open source, I imagine the devtimes are going to be even quicker than dealing with an ok API.

other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc

Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.

Your username is perfect.

I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.

Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.

It is taking shape as we use and improve it.
