So far I don't quite understand how everything works. I am confident I will figure it out though

My biggest gripe is that there isn't a working Lemmy iOS app in my region, yet.
I have spotty metered mobile internet connection, and while the web app is lightweight enough, it requires the downloading of page structures each time and it adds up after a while.
I do hope we'll eventually get high-quality apps to interface with the fediverse, much like Apollo with Reddit.
I'd like an optimization for Jerboa as well as more customization for our accounts. Jerboa is fine as it is functional, but sometimes text boxes just extend all the way to the edge of the screen and makes it not visually appealing. I'm still learning though as I'm currently figuring out how to visit the communities in the other servers.
As for communities, I just hope that a mass migration of even 10% of Reddit's disappointed users would help boost the growth of Lemmy communities and help make niche communities thrive. I personally am a subscriber to the writing and anime subreddits, so I hope there'll be similar communities here.
My main problem is the Jerboa app on Android does not make it easy to navigate to a specific subforum unless you know the name.
Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:
-
Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don't need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.
-
It's confusing how communities on other servers aren't automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.
-
If you add an external community and are confused as to why it's missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it's fine, it's just syncing.
So far so good! Is there any mobile apps available though? That is 90% of my reddit browsing.
My main lemmy instance went down, and I had to go to three because so many people are creating accounts. So bad; but, for a good reason.
Still great as expected. Reddit screwing any mentions of migration or Lemmy will not last long as the EU might impose sanctions against the Snoosite
It's my first full day on Lemmy and I'm liking it a lot so far. It's definitely smaller than reddit but it feels more personal this way. I'm sure that will change after the exodus that will be happening over there soon.
I've enjoyed it so far! Still some communities I miss that were more active on Reddit but I'm sure as it grows that will change
Even though I select "All" as my default type, it doesn't seem to populate anything after the second page of results? But if I click on "all" manually, I get all the pages. Otherwise, I'm just discovering things still, and exploring - which is fun!
