I like it. I prefer the UI plus it's really refreshing to browse some similar communities i also browse on reddit and not seeing that many memes.

A bit rough on the edges and scarce in content but I'm hopeful it will improve with time.
It's very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me
I like the people and I trust I'm not stuck talking to some Marvel inc corporate intern tasked with promotion for the day on some sub reddit that's run by the company but made to look like a grassroots community
As an iOS user on safari, where is the damn βbackβ button!? I end up reading then having to return to the main menu and re-scroll down. Is this a lacking feature or am I just an idiot?
Using mlem... just kinda feels like Reddit thru a third party app I guess. Honestly impressed. Didn't have super high expectations but so far they've been blown out of the water.
i like the minimal look as it mirrors my RES and old.r settings. I would like the ability to stretch the pages out to fill in the empty voids of my 1440 window though. At the moment it looks like Lemmy was built on a mobile portrait view only.
Really fragmented, but really good.
I understand how federation works, and Lemmy's UI seems more or less fine, but I guess I'm still not quite sold on federation in this style being the answer for Reddit-like functionality. It's a bit awkward, and unlike how Twitter's functionality is quite easily mimicked by Mastodon, I'm still kind of skeptical that following subreddit equivalents in that fashion maps quite as cleanly.
I'm not sure how I would do it differently, but I get the sense that there is a better way to have a decentralized Reddit-like experience, and probably one that avoids the risks of the current method (downtime, discoverability, scaling costs for the largest instances, etc).
I'll stick around the fediverse for now, but I really get the sense that it was built for a Twitter or maybe Tumblr like experience, and the Reddit-like experience will always feel a bit short of ideal.
I like the design. Not so much a fan of the lag, but I'm hoping that improves.
I'm not used to the light mode, haha. I hope there's a dark version soon. But overall, it seems like a nice site so far. Edit: Found it, lol. So now it's easier on the eyes!
I wish the layout was more responsive. When I look at it on desktop it still looks formatted for a phone.
It's been taking like 20-30 seconds to submit a comment or post.
I love it, but I do wish you could stretch the layout to the full width of your monitor.
Also, og:images doesn't show up when you're posting links.
It's taken a little getting used to, but it isn't too difficult to learn. Agree with loving the simplicity; just wondering if there's a way for us to customize the styling/colors? Also for some reason the votes on posts keep cycling through random numbers, lol
Really can't complain though since it takes a lot of money and time to build stuff like this.
There's a lot to learn. Luckily I have lots of time. So far I dig it
I like it too.
But the app really needs some improvement (I know it's still in alpha, but the typing glitches make it really annoying to type)
But so far it's been good and I see good potential in it.
It's a start. I have lots of issues, but I'm willing to let them go in the hope that it will work itself out in time.
It's been taking a bit of tweaking since I decided to host my own instance, but when it works it's fantastic. Feels like the social media of 10 years ago.
I'm currently using the web mobile version, and tbh it is already way better than Reddit version lol.
