Im joining in on the reddit ditching thing, and was kinda worried at first that i wouldnt be able to like use it the way i did reddit as it feels like a whole new place, but after engaging with posts and people and actually being a part of lemmy rather than being lurk mode all the time i was pleasantly surprised with how easy it is to become a member of the community, theres a reasonable amount of subs (or whatever the other word for em is) that fit my interests, enough linux content and shitposting for my liking, and the overall random posts made by people equally fed up with Leddit. (also i admit i used reddit a little cus there was this post on the fedora sub showing how to fix a sound issue i been having after a recent update)

Sorry if this is a stupid question (and it does sound like something that was answered already), but is there an app for Android that works for Lemmy.world?

The ones I've seen (Jerboa, Lemmur) seem to only work for Lemmy.ml and a few others.

I greatly dislike the UI. Makes for a bad UX.

Unfortunately, the UI source is not approachable to me (despite being very familiar with web tech). Theming documentation is not there yet either.

As far as content goes, it's still niche, so amount and usefulness varies a lot between communities and overall. But I've liked it in principle, posted comments, and found interesting links/infos.

First comment :) Researching about self-hosting a personal instance now...

You're not the first, you just don't get the full list of comments until you subscribe from your home instance... and I'm unsure if you get earlier comments than when you did that. It's a bit of a pain point

You don't need to just search, you need to have at least one member subscribed

just got my signup approved, the ui is awesome and the dark mode this place has won't destroy my eyes during night shift. it's a bit slower than reddit but that's fine

Takes some getting used to. But I love how the communities don't feel like an echo chamber.

I found it easy to join a server, subscribe to communities and post. I've also created a community that I'm passionate about and I'm trying to grow it.

I tried creating a server but failed big time, I'm a novice at that kind of stuff and didn't have the experience to know what I was doing wrong.

Fairly good actually. Im using the italian instance Feddit and its quick and easy to use. The actual issue is the lack of good clients

[โ€“] dannyboy5498@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't match reddit yet but it's alright
