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)

Good so far. The one and only Android app available for it is serviceable, though not without issues. Other than that, if usage picks up I can see myself spending more time here.

Greatly improved after I found out about https://mlmym.org/ (old Reddit UI for Lemmy)

I don't really understand it yet, I'm trying to find a boardgame community, but haven't had any luck.

Posting/commenting has been hit or miss. Seems to hang a lot.

[–] Abraman@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It's probably from all the new server traffic lol

Well, i've created account on sopuli.xyz,had some fun, and now it's unreachable.

[–] slashzero@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Might be overloaded since a lot of people are trying out Lemmy.

[–] Hagarashi8@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, most likely. Also, admins of sopuli had a lot less resources than on this instance, so maybe that also payed it's role.

It feels very exciting to be here! It's a lot more open and customizable than other social media. I really hope that this is a small glimpse of what the future of the internet could be.

I'm liking the platform, but it could use more niche subs. Doesn't matter what it is, I can always assume that there exists a subreddit for everything. I hope to see lemmy get there one day.

[–] Showervagina@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Feddit browse should have an option to be a sortable list.

Unfortunately, I've been getting some 404 not found of some communities/magazines of some instances that are not from the instance I'm using, e.g. I'm using kbin.social at the current posting account, but let's say that I tried to access something like https://sh.itjust.works/c/skincareaddiction there's no issues whatsoever (since it's the main instance where that community spawned off) but if I tried https://kbin.social/m/skincareaddiction@sh.itjust.works then I would get the aforementioned error code. I find it pretty inconvenient that caching/indexing of certain less popular (which I assume is what is happening) community working clunkily, it feels not as reliable than using a centralized service, but I guess that this is the price to pay for a decentralized system.
