I'm loving it!
As an aside, I know a lot of people are using Jerboa for their mobile browsing app of choice, but I've discovered that you can just use the Lemmy progressive web app (PWA) instead and get the same experience as desktop. In Chrome, login to whatever Lemmy instance you're registered with, click the triple dot menu, and click "install app". You'll get a "Lemmy" app downloaded and added to your homescreen that looks and functions just like the website.
Longtime Rif user posting from Jerboa. Seems pretty cool so far. The issue I've seen is some upvotes and comments not showing when viewed from a different instance.
I'm trying to be more active on lemmy than on reddit where I just lurked like you, so that's been a change. But I'm having a great time! Also, spinning up an instance took some trial and error but it was a lot of fun :)
It's my first full day on Lemmy and I'm liking it a lot so far. It's definitely smaller than reddit but it feels more personal this way. I'm sure that will change after the exodus that will be happening over there soon.
I like the desktop app, and the community - but the content is still a bit sparse. The nice thing about reddit was that you could find content for literally anything and every time you refreshed there'd be new content to view. It's obviously not nearly so busy here, but hopefully that will improve with time.
In the meantime I've been juggling this and Mastadon to get my fix lol
Any1 know how to search a group for specific posts like reddit? On jerboa for android. Tx
There's definitely a learning curve. How steep, I have not determined yet.
Still great as expected. Reddit screwing any mentions of migration or Lemmy will not last long as the EU might impose sanctions against the Snoosite
So far it's been good! Lemmy has made me hopeful for better social media. I'm not hugely into twitter-style social media so I was never really able to appreciate Mastadon.
I'm actually quite surprised with how much content is here already. There are regular posts and conversations, and a good mix of content. It's not at the level reddit is in terms of volume, but I don't feel starved or anything. I look forward to the future here!
I've enjoyed it so far! Still some communities I miss that were more active on Reddit but I'm sure as it grows that will change
