I’m excited for a new experience. I only commented about 5 times my entire time on Reddit and I hoping to interact more here.

When I add this site to my Home Screen it afterwards loads as a PWA. Is there a way to add the site without it loading as PWA? I just want it to open as a tab in safari.

Feels a bit similar to moving to Mastodon from Twitter. easier to browse here than finding people to follow on Mastodon though

@immadeofgold I'm pretty excited despite it being daunting. It reminds me of the 90s internet days. Looking forward to learning something new and fun.

doesn't hurt my eyes, looks just as good as old.reddit, now just hopefully reddit can hurry up kick the bucket.

I am happy whenever there is a fresh start. Brings out the flaws of my old ways.

It reminds me of older websites in a way. Probably got too used to reddit

First post, liking what I'm seeing so far! Appreciate that signup here was quick/easy, had some issues on other instances.

I really want this to gain traction if reddit goes with the api changes, thing is it needs to be more user friendly to be popular, the easier the transition, the better. Also, Fuck u/spez

Jerboa kinda sucks and Lemmur straight up doesn't let you sign in.

A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.

I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.

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

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"

Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?

When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".

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.
