Asklemmy

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.

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.

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

So far so good! Is there any mobile apps available though? That is 90% of my reddit browsing.

It's good. Except for the confusion about linking to communities on different servers. That's a real show stopper, if you ask me. Which you did, technically.

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.

Well your horribly wrote ‘ur’ has lowered my experience somewhat

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'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.

I like the desktop app, and the community - but the content is still a bit sparse. The nice thing about reddit was that you could find content for literally anything and every time you refreshed there'd be new content to view. It's obviously not nearly so busy here, but hopefully that will improve with time.

In the meantime I've been juggling this and Mastadon to get my fix lol

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.

There's definitely a learning curve. How steep, I have not determined yet.

It reminds me of old reddit, so I'm pretty happy with it. I hope we aren't going to completely ruin whatever the Lemmy old guard had going on, though.
