Hello everyone!

I haven't used Lemmy much yet, but I'm honestly impressed by how well it seems to work so far.

I’m liking it a lot, so far!

so this is where we flee pala, hi!

Honestly I'm glad that reddit is going down the tubes. It's time for a change.

Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

Feels like being back on old forums again :) I think I'll like it here

Thanks. So far, I'm really enjoying Lemmy. What I really miss is a good iOS client. But I guess it's hard to build something like Apollo...

So far the mobile site is way better than Reddit. I feel like Reddit was always humping my leg trying to get me to install their shitty app.

I also really like the federated aspect, but I do agree with others in that I fear this may be too confusing for the average user and it won't catch on.

It seems like a cool idea. The idea of picking a server to sign up for didn't throw me for a loop like it does some folks; just like email, right? I think it needs a better way to interact on other instances though. Like for this one, I found lemmy.world from a link on Reddit, then opened this post. But I couldn't vote or comment because my account was on midwest.social. So I had to copy the !lemmyworld@lemmy.world community spec from the sidebar, go over to midwest.social in another tab, click the search button, paste the community spec there, re-find the same post, and now I can comment. Ideally I'd instead just be able to comment directly on lemmy.world using my already-logged-in account on midwest.social, or at least go directly to viewing the post via my own server with one click. Functionality like this would probably require a browser extension but that's better than nothing. I actually found one for Mastodon that's supposed to allow something like this for that service but so far I can't figure out how to get it to do its thing, and I don't think it supports Lemmy at all so far.

Ainda continuo no reddit,mas gosto de variar as coisas.. estou gostando do Kevin, só não entendi o lemmy..

I'm very happy there was an alternative.

Everything is new and confusing and some things a bit janky, but its also like dawn of new age.

I really REALLY hope lemmy and fediverse in general will be resilient against corporate corruption that will eventually try creeping in as popularity grows.

I feel like having so many instances open before Lemmy as a whole grew really big is gonna be a hurdle for communities to grow really big. But maybe the culture of Lemmy will center itself around instances rather than communities. Either way I'm glad to see a Reddit competitor that actually expands upon what Reddit was doing through federation instead of just being "what if Reddit was smaller and buggier"

It's strange. I feel lost.

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

I’m loving Beehaw! And it’s super cool that we can all interact across servers and communities.

I think this has a lot of potential, I mean I’m already using it a ton. The only thing missing imo is more niche communities, but those will come along as the user base grows.

I am still trying to wrap my head around how it all works, but I feel like I am slowly getting the hang of it. One thing I was wondering, and forgive me if I get the terminologies wrong, since instances are their own little ecosystems, wouldn't there be multiple versions of the identical communities i.e. gaming, videos etc., or is that the beauty of it all?

Another minor concern I have is that since instances are run by individuals, wouldn't there be a risk of losing massive amounts of content if said owner no longer wishes to maintain their instance or "goes rogue" for a lack of a better word and shuts down access to all communities located on that particular instance/server.

Glad to see an alternative is gaining traction! The inversed colours for up and downvotes will take some getting used to!

To double-check that I understand Lemmy correctly: the equivalent to a subreddit is a server, right? So within lemmy.world there aren’t necessarily subforums/topics/subreddits.
