I'm liking it so far - bit of a learning curve but not too bad!

I do have a bone to pick with users - there are a lot of niche communities that have zero posts. If you start a community, try to add something to it! I'm not sure if people are trying to "claim" rights to as many communities as possible - i surely hope not - but if you're interested in a subject and want to start a community, surely you have something to say! It takes two hands to clap - if you don't start saying something, then whoever comes to your community is gonna move on.

I really like the new style of interactions, even though I do currently miss the hundreds of thousands of funny/dumb comments some posts had (hoping that will happen eventually though)

lemmy is open source though too! so if there’s a bug, someone in the community can help fix it. speaking of which, i had some ideas for the UI that i’d love to propose for lemmy, such as giving posts a slight background color to make them easier to read. kind of like old reddit.

is anyone free to create a PR for lemmy-ui? mostly wondering if there’s a group it needs to be proposed to or something.

I haven't found my groove yet. There were a lot of niche communities on Reddit that I was part of (lurked). Have to rebuild that over here.

I dig it but I wish there was a more compact view option for the web version.

I'm very confused, I was in the Sweden community and someone linked to ANOTHER Sweden community on a different server with different posts. So, where should I be to see all the things?

I like it and there's probably about as much traffic here was there was on reddit when I was started using it in the early 2010s. The design is nice and I like the federated concept although it is going to be a learning curve for some users. My particular home server is slow and down sometimes but in a way I feel its necessary to take some ownership and contribute to server improvements as we get more users if we want to sustain this.

It's a nice fresh start. Been lurking for 7 years and plan to comment more on Lemmy.

As an iOS user on safari, where is the damn “back” 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?

I really hate this. I used Reddit for 13 years as a news aggregator/internet 2.0. I don't understand how this whole Lemmy/Kbin instance thing works, I just want to find the primary ~~subreddits~~ sigh, Communities for the things I'm interested in and have them aggregate the content... but now there's all these separate 'instances' each with their own ~~subreddits~~, and they're all empty and I don't know which ones to join to get content from...

It's quiet in here, I know this will take time.

Is there an app I can use in my phone? I am using mastodon at time, but it's harder for discovery purposes.

I'm enjoying it more than reddit for the time being for the same reason I enjoyed reddit before it was commercialized. The slight technical barrier to entry is keeping the braindead out for now.

Kind of a catch 22 though, because you need to have some of the idiots to flesh out the population. Time will tell.

I dislike how in the app there's no functional inline image/video viewer, at least on my end (unsure if it's not working on my end or its just something everyone lives with).

frontend is bootstrap as fuck lol, but it does the job

I'm strongly, strongly tempted to go on an angry rant about the unusability of the front page jumping around constantly. I'm thinking of donating in order to help out, because I love the idea of a federated forum/news aggregator. Is this a new bug, or something?

A bit rough on the edges and scarce in content but I'm hopeful it will improve with time.

I'm a fan of it so far. It's slower paced at the moment and I feel like I can keep up with a smaller number of communities.

I've been going back and forth between Lemmy and kBin (?). Can't decide which I prefer at this point. I like that kbin has 'tags' when I post a link. (I post a lot of links in my mod role over on reddit.)

I did most of my fediverse learning curve late last year during the twitter migration, so this was no sweat for me.

So far I miss being able to see a graphic associated with links I post--but maybe that feature will arrive one day... I'm prepared to have plenty of patience and look forward to watching how things improve.

It will be interesting to see if this migration matches the twitter adoption curve: lot's of initial excitement, then a big dropping off of participation (which may be a typical pattern of any online adoption?)

It's early stages but the conversations here feel more "high effort". I think it might also be because of signup approvals which weeds out bots/low effort posters. I do feel the growth pains with the timeouts happening more often but overall content-wise it is quite nice.

I've gotten more done today than I have in a long time. And spent plenty of time in the Fediverse too. I'm loving this so far, there'll be things I'll miss of course.

I've moved here cause of the current Reddit drama, and I gotta say, this is a lot nicer than reddit currently is

So far good. Great that it has mobile app on google play already. It just needs little bit more activity to get more users here.

It's very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me
