So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.
Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!
I’m not great at getting to learn new things. Took me ages to get used to Reddit. I didn’t use the third party apps (I only just learnt how to use the Reddit app), but my friend did and it’s shit what Spez did to everyone. So yeah, fuck Reddit. I’m slowly getting used to lemmy. Need to spend more time on it but am enjoying
I’m loving it but I’m worried about what will happen when an instance goes down and knocks out a significant community.
Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.
In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.
Just fine. Spent last week editing all my comments with PDS. On Monday, I deleted my account and I'm only here so far.
Social media in general has been shit. Not that they ever were very good, but it seems to be worse.
For an "early adopter" it is amazing so far. I see a lot of potential, more-so with Lemmy than other federated platforms. I thought I would just use Lemmy on mobile to replace Reddit since I refuse to download their app. Instead, it unintentionally replaced Reddit almost entirely for me. Just missing some small niche communities that I can't find anywhere but reddit
Too much tankie bullshit.
Second biggest server is straight up Chinese Communist Party propaganda.
For some reason the notification bell icon is only appearing after I check my inbox and see the message. Then I hit the bell and it tells me there's nothing new because I already read it. If it's working for you maybe it'll just sort itself out. I'm using the Connect app, by the way.
