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.

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.

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

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

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.

Signed up today, liking it a lot. Looking forward to learning more about it, seems like a viable reddit alternative.

I think there's a lot of room for enhancing the user experience, but it's definitely not bad. This will come in time.

I feel like the content and discussion is a bit more mature than reddit. This is the main reason I will stay here.

I LOVE the interface here

I joined Reddit seventeen years ago because of Aaron Swartz’s involvement. Lemmy feels more like someplace Swartz would have liked than Reddit ever did.

I like the design. Not so much a fan of the lag, but I'm hoping that improves.

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.

Creating sublemmies hangs forever it seems. I was able to create one on day one of the reckoning, but not anymore.

Also, I thought Lemmy was broken but for whatever reason it performs badly in Firefox but Chrome works okay. I don't like this because I hate Chrome/Google but it isn't clear what the issue is in Firefox. I have NoScript, Ublock, etc. there so likely plugins

I hope there is some way to implement something like streamable/imgur/redgifs on lemmy. I don't mind if it's these services if fediverse alternatives aren't there yet.

They form the backbone of content creation, from Porn to highlight clips of sports subreddits.

My first hour here...gonna take a little getting used to but I like it so far. Much as I was addicted to reddit, a change is probably a good thing. I'm gonna really miss my saved posts once I delete them though

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.

There's a lot to learn. Luckily I have lots of time. So far I dig it

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.
