I haven't been here for too long, but it's not bad. I actually like that the community is not too big. It feels satisfying to actually be able to get to the end of the comments. Still learning the ropes, though.

I like the simple, 'clean' looking format. I wouldn't say no to a dark mode option but otherwise I think it's ideal. It's restful because it's not too visually busy.
Edit: Found the dark mode option, yay!
It's still very new but I think it's a great framework to build on. I do worry about fragmentation (each instance having its own gaming community for example). And the smaller niche subreddits I followed will be hard to replace / replicate here.
I am amazed how fast this platform has grown in a few days. Quite exciting!
I am finding it to be very clunky.
def needs a number of UI fixes, though I remember when reddit was a mess and so was OSS in general.
OSS now runs 1/2 of your operating systems and most of your servers.
I like it. But it will only feel like home when people are sharing all the ideas, advice, questions, news, and most importantly, shit-posting, that I previously got from reddit.
It's fucking lit in here. Also fuck Spez.
Just migrated my account here. Honestly it's getting a lot bigger here than what I've expected. Always lurked around Reddit, but I wouldn't mind changing my route over here. I'm just happy that everyone gets to experience a free and open source alternative :)
Can we disable the auto "refreshing" that add new post when we scrolling the home screen?

I am trying to adjust to this format. I am used to old.reddit and RES. But, I'm going to give it a go. I imagine once I get a few sub... sublemmies? going It will start to smooth out for me.
And hey, good luck to everyone on the adjustment period.
Seems solid, I was really excited for Mastodon and loved the idea but.......I didn't really use Twitter much so I didn't have a need for it still.
Reddit has always been my go to social media so I'm glad a fedi version of it exists with lemmy!
I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)
Your username is perfect.
I love it! I love the energy of everyone trying to figure out what the future will be. And it feels good to be out of this corporate dystopia that reddit has become.
Think I'm still trying to get my head around it all, such as trying to join new communities. Trying to take my time to read through guides and such, but so far it's been good!
It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.
I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.
Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.
It is taking shape as we use and improve it.
Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.
New to Lemmy like most on here rn. Can we get thumbnails for the posts and for links to open in new tabs?
Also, what is the delay on posting comments? Is that due to server usage or syncing to other instances?
Much appreciate the instance!
Once you get a hang of how the fediverse works in general, it's pretty good so far. Using mostly mobile atm, nice and clean, functional pretty similar experience to reddit. Aside from a few features missing like search, I'd imagine there is plenty of room for moderator tools too, and the occasional error codes, I'm loving it so far. No ads, just content, and while it's not the firehose that reddit is/was, if this keeps getting popular, I could forsee just as many communities popping up across instances as there are subreddits.
I'm sure with the influx of users from reddit, especially the more technically savvy mods we're going to see a lot of good tools made for the app and with it being open source, I imagine the devtimes are going to be even quicker than dealing with an ok API.
Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong
It is really great. Once the servers stabilize this is going to be so much better than Reddit.
I think itβs really cool over here. Even though specific communities arenβt what they were Iβve enjoyed just going through all the new post and interacting with people and I could get used to that
other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc
I'm mostly ok, the only annoying thing is that I like to chose "all instances" especially to discover interesting things, but there's a lot of instances says in Deutsch, Italian, Polish, or whatever, and we cannot block whole instances, only communities, so if there is dozens of communities on an instance, you have to block them one by one
I like it! I'm on Jerboa and it's no different from what I'm used to using Boost, although I do hope it continues to add customization and sorting comments by new wouldn't hurt (unless if I somehow miss the setting in each post)
