At least on my instance everything is running fast, snappy. I like the clean interface. Haven't encountered any major bugs yet.
The only downside for me so far is that there is not a lot to see yet. The only active posts and communities are about lemmy itself. Which is understandable of course but I can't wait to actually get to the phase where I actually get to experience real content lmao
Any1 know how to search a group for specific posts like reddit? On jerboa for android. Tx
The thing that's confusing me most is links, whether to communities or individual posts.
I see links in a format like this:
!communityname@instance.whatever
Sometimes the exclamation mark is part of the link and it works, and sometimes it's there but not part of the link, and my phone thinks the rest is an email address.
Is there a guide anywhere to how to do links properly? TIA.
EDIT - yeah, so in my example above, the exclamation mark is not being treated as part of the link for some reason?
Liking it so far. Found some great communities and have enjoyed it. :)
I am trying to interact with posts on beehaw.org on lemmy.ml, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to communicate inscance agnostic?
I'm amazed it runs so well. It's incredibly speedy for a wss implementation.
I had a bit of trouble signing up, but was approved super quickly and could log in.
(I might bother support later about it, when things settle down)
Even federated topics are blazing fast. Now I am thinking of setting up my own server on my Oracle Cloud Free Tier.
Markdown works just like old.reddit. But it feels like it already has RES and ton's of plugins preinstalled. I am really quite happy.
Even though I select "All" as my default type, it doesn't seem to populate anything after the second page of results? But if I click on "all" manually, I get all the pages. Otherwise, I'm just discovering things still, and exploring - which is fun!
I am trying it out just to understand it's nuances. I think the concept is solid, but I feel like the federated part could use a little more work so it's more possible to use whatever lemmy instance you prefer. Signing up on any particular instance is fine (Though I wish it had more options), but if I cannot get onto an instance that I prefer, it's tricky to curate my experience.
That being said, I think it is a fixable problem, and I have ideas to fix that based upon other websites I've used, but I have no idea where to submit them.
So far so good! I think I'm on the early upswing part of the learning curve. I was just allowed into the instance I wanted to be a part of, and I'm hoping to carve some fuck around time out of work over the next couple of days to figure the bits out that feel somewhat awkward to me still.
Pretty great honestly. I've found almost all the "subs" I'm interested in, and the community has been very nice. There's a few small things I'd like to see (UI improvements, 2FA (coming next patch), etc), but those will come in time :)
Except the problems I had with Jerboa, it's great! And now, I don't seem to be time-out on Jerboa today
