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 tried using Jerboa, but there doesn't seem to be way to login, but everything insists that you login first. I guess I'll stick with it in Chrome until someone comes up with Lemmy Is Fun.

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.

I'm enjoying, not sure if my comments are being submitted yet though..

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.

I'm looking it, though I haven't found much good content yet. Gotta do a serious community search.

Sidenote: anyone know if I can replicate Reddit's "hide post after upvoting" behavior?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just signed up after looking for alternatives and it looks clean (so far). NGL, i miss some of the communities that i frequent but if this is for the common good, I'll suck it up and trod forward.

It’s only really blown up the past couple of days. Gotta give it some time

It’s ok. Navigating takes some getting used to and the lower content and engagement so far is a bummer. Hopefully it will take off though. A mobile app at some point would be nice.

I feel like the algorithm is weighted too strongly towards upvoted posts. I know there are new ones out there, but I opened my app this morning to see everything is from 17 hours ago.

This is a bug that is being worked on that will be fixed in the next release

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I really like the new style of interactions, even though I do currently miss the hundreds of thousands of funny/dumb comments some posts had (hoping that will happen eventually though)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It took a solid couple days to wrap my head around how things work, where posts are coming from and how to find communities I’m interested in. I’m nervous that’s going to be just enough of a barrier that folks will say forget it when trying it out.

Otherwise it’s a refreshing take. Really wish there was an iOS app you could find in the App Store. All I find is mastodon apps.

Its much harder as a lurker. I do actively contribute to a few communities on Reddit, but they're smaller ones that are unlikely to make the swap :\

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

I'm already worried about defederations happening and mods of federations getting too big headed on blocking communities.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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.
