So...I guess this is a chance for a fresh start then.

Not really sure what kind of things I'll get up to on this site, but as they say, the sky's the limit

It looks like the original internet. Love it

Thanks for having us! Much learning ahead for me though it seems, but this does look promising.

Hey thanks, glad to be here. Lemmy seems very promising!

I like what Lemmy's got going on - noticed there's no upvotes/downvotes on comments, but if that's my only gripe, it's a very minor one. Currently lurking and replying from a Mastodon account, but it's a bit janky (I have to copy links back to my Mastodon instance to find the post to reply to it), so I'll probably end up registering for a separate Lemmy account too.

It's pretty confusing to find a community on another website, then search for it on here a specific way, then you can subscribe and post once it comes up. It's not too bad once I got used to it though. New users basically will need to be given the name of this website and how to find existing communities on other websites and post there. That's 2 things that need to be simple to have this grow.

Looks promising, curious how it will turn out after the 2 days blackout

I feel kinda dumb.. I truly did not get the whole fediverse thing and panicked trying to guess where most of us refugees would go, I made an account on mastadon, kbin.social, karab.in, lemmy.world and maybe a few more I now cannot recall, all same username as my Reddit account.. I assume now that was overkill? I hope there is a way I can merge them all together at some point.. and Oddly enough, this was my last instance(? That's what lemmy.world is right?) that feels less confusing than all the previous ones I tried..

Growing pains but in time I think this whole fediverse thing will grow on me!

I like it so far but it's strange and feels like I'm exploring the web with no experience.

I just spent a little time today creating my Lemmy.world account and trying to find equivalents of my favorite subs from Reddit. I really question whether Reddit will survive the uprising that has spawned. I think the IPO is going to go very poorly, then Reddit will turn into some commercial mess. This is my first Lemmy post, BTW!

I'm quite enjoying it so far! mlem is surprisingly great

I like it! Feels kind of cozy! ^_^ It's good to be here!

Hello Everyone! This place feels really good! refreshing Hell yeah!

Hi there! I'm having trouble uploading pictures, but other than that, it's nice

I'm finding it hard to get rid of the "Open Reddit"'s muscle memory

Looking good so far!

Thank you! :D Allthough I still have some hope left that we don't have to stay permanently, this feels promising ^^ There isn't an iOS Client though, right?

This is a very different experience! I'm currently posting from a Mastodon server to a Lemmy server. I'm excited to see how a federated web can serve creators and users alike.

I'm trying to understand it still. I understand you can visit communities from any other instance, but are communities shared between them? I mean, if there's an r/NFL in lemmy.world, can lemmy.ml also contain an r/NFL and would those two be two different things?

It's all new, if a bit confusing, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it like I did with Aim, Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and now Lemmy.

Test

I really like the UI. The sign up process was a little rough though. The idea of the different servers and signing up via those servers was a little jarring at first.

I'm a big fan of it. The website is great and I'm thankful that I can interact with posts and comments on other servers. I think for most people's adoption the picking of a server to join is intimidating because there are so many options.

To draw more users it needs to be made abundantly clear that you can interact across servers.
