I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

I use only jerboa, like before I used only Infinity for reddit. I find lemmy very cool, when there was the twitter migration I tried for some weeks mastodon but was not my ambient. Lemmy, being like reddit is more my kind of site. I like that in Jerboa I have the tab for my subscription, the tab for my istance (the italian one in my case) and the all tab. I find it realy usefull. The only thing is that searching for sub or for some thing is not immediate as in reddit, but I think that with time we will get a more populate site.

It's quiet in here, I know this will take time.

Is there an app I can use in my phone? I am using mastodon at time, but it's harder for discovery purposes.

As an iOS user on safari, where is the damn β€œback” button!? I end up reading then having to return to the main menu and re-scroll down. Is this a lacking feature or am I just an idiot?

I like the UI, only thing I've noticed is that comments and upvotes can take quite some time to show up

Signed up today, liking it a lot. Looking forward to learning more about it, seems like a viable reddit alternative.

[–] sorenant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A bit rough on the edges and scarce in content but I'm hopeful it will improve with time.

[–] BeHereNow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've gotten more done today than I have in a long time. And spent plenty of time in the Fediverse too. I'm loving this so far, there'll be things I'll miss of course.

[–] CarolineJohnson@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dislike how in the app there's no functional inline image/video viewer, at least on my end (unsure if it's not working on my end or its just something everyone lives with).

I like it, but there are issues like timeouts when I try to sub/comment on some posts, but I'll take it if it means being free of corporate control

It's very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me

[–] gerbrand@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

I was barely active on reddit, and very new to kbin/lemmy and I like the until now. I am pretty active on mastodon, I can see the added value.

[–] harbo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I love lemmy, way more than Reddit. I was already excited about the fediverse with mastodon and I absolutely love seeing another use case for it.

I'm not used to the light mode, haha. I hope there's a dark version soon. But overall, it seems like a nice site so far. Edit: Found it, lol. So now it's easier on the eyes!

I'm currently using the web mobile version, and tbh it is already way better than Reddit version lol.

[–] Myriadblue@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Also trying tildes, but lemmy seems more like what I'm looking for. Like the ui!

[–] decadentrebel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love it, but I do wish you could stretch the layout to the full width of your monitor.

Also, og:images doesn't show up when you're posting links.

[–] katherine@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's taken a little getting used to, but it isn't too difficult to learn. Agree with loving the simplicity; just wondering if there's a way for us to customize the styling/colors? Also for some reason the votes on posts keep cycling through random numbers, lol

Really can't complain though since it takes a lot of money and time to build stuff like this.

[–] wit@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are themes in the user settings..

The registration process for an account is annoying: Having to look into email and having to explain how you are not a bot ... I guess? Also I can not imagine this scale well, if every registration request is checked by a human. Is there no better solution?

The page is jumping around some on Safari for iPad, but I'm sticking with it for now.

[–] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I'd really prefer to have the option to make it look/feel like old.reddit. The biggest reason I'm off reddit right now is because I'm concerned the third-party appsassination is going to make them think they can kill off old.reddit, too. Coming over here where it's just aping new.reddit kinda defeats the purpose.

[–] pineapplelover@infosec.pub 3 points 1 year ago

Slow at times but it's improving little by little with more contributors and development.

[–] dyma@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

frontend is bootstrap as fuck lol, but it does the job

Not speaking of app features, only thing missing are people... Which is a problem that will fix itself as time goes on and more people migrate to Lemmy.

[–] FantasyWalk17@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a little buggy here and there and needs some UI improvement, but once I finish setting up my account and subscribe to communities it's quite good. Being able to search and subscribe to communities from both Local Server and All Servers within Lemmy should be made more clear for new users, as they normally use search bar to search for eveything.

I initially try to access Lemmy and comment posts from my Mastodon account. I can paste Lemmy post url to search bar in Mastodon, hit enter and the post will appear. But it's like parsing a Reddit post and its comment to a Twitter one, it's not the same experience, so I have to create a Lemmy account. I guess it is great if you want to promote something within Fediverse

[–] FreddyNO@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Don't miss reddit one bit, this is great! Feels fresh. I like the user interface of Jerboa, slim and not much clutter. Once in a while I get an error, but going back and forth fixes it.

Honestly a great transition. Now I'm looking to replace all sm with fediverse alternatives
