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.

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

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.

Still definitely needs some polish on the UI / UX front, as well as a more seamless experience for new users. But overall I can definitely see the potential!

I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)

Im liking it. I'm pretty techy, so I got the gist of the whole "distributed" thing real quick. Honestly, it's also nice that it's still a smaller community. Feels like the old days of the internet, where you could actually interact with people

It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.

I'm very confused, I was in the Sweden community and someone linked to ANOTHER Sweden community on a different server with different posts. So, where should I be to see all the things?

It is really great. Once the servers stabilize this is going to be so much better than Reddit.

I like it! I'm on Jerboa and it's no different from what I'm used to using Boost, although I do hope it continues to add customization and sorting comments by new wouldn't hurt (unless if I somehow miss the setting in each post)

I'm getting comfy. It feels right to be away from Reddit.

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 think it's kindof hard to find topics, because even if you set a filter the auto refresh ignores the filter. Still waiting for communities to pop up that match tastes.

I'm strongly, strongly tempted to go on an angry rant about the unusability of the front page jumping around constantly. I'm thinking of donating in order to help out, because I love the idea of a federated forum/news aggregator. Is this a new bug, or something?

I hate using apps, so I use the browser on mobile. From that perspective, Lemmy seems snappier. I don't know if it actually is or just the perception from a cleaner interface, and not getting bugged about the app.

Quality username

I tried to reply to another thread but for some reason it never showed. So trying on this thread to see if I can actually post something at all. Ok that worked this time👍😀 Early days at the mo since the Reddit collapse but as more users join I'm expecting the variety of content to pick up.

It's a nice fresh start. Been lurking for 7 years and plan to comment more on Lemmy.

This is my first post here! I've subscribed to a bunch of communities I'm interested in, some of them that have come over from Reddit and some new ones. I'm already familiar with the concept of Federated communication apps through Matrix and Mastodon.

Let's make this community a great place to be, talk, share information, and enjoy the things we love.

I haven't found my groove yet. There were a lot of niche communities on Reddit that I was part of (lurked). Have to rebuild that over here.

I dig it but I wish there was a more compact view option for the web version.

I’m enjoying it thus far. I wasn’t a serious Reddit user when it first launched but became more frequent about 6 years after it launched. Lemmy still feels more like what Reddit did even in 2011.

I like it and there's probably about as much traffic here was there was on reddit when I was started using it in the early 2010s. The design is nice and I like the federated concept although it is going to be a learning curve for some users. My particular home server is slow and down sometimes but in a way I feel its necessary to take some ownership and contribute to server improvements as we get more users if we want to sustain this.

Quite like it. Jerboa is usable despite its early development state.

I miss and probably will continue to miss some of the smaller niche communities, which are really only viable on huge servers/networks. Notably /flying and /NetBSD. There probably aren't enough active users to create thriving communities on both reddit and lemmy. Although /r/flying participates in the blackout, I expect most redditors there will stay. I used the site on desktop most of the time, too, and I don't see myself cutting all ties, either.

So, ambivalent, I'd say. I'll see what the mobile app situation will be in a few weeks; Infinity has worked well for me.
