I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?

I'm a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It's definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it's great to see something that isn't Reddit growing in popularity!

Really good! there is some work (or learning) to be done on making links work more painlessly, but on the whole, I really hope this takes off!

Attention,

I remind you that to facilitate our work as administrators of the feddit.it instance, this is expressly reserved for Italian-speaking users. if your reference language is English, I therefore advise you to cancel your account and create one in an English-speaking instance

The only two communities that deal with medicine are these: https://lemmy.ml/c/medicine and https://mander.xyz/c/medicine In any case, you can monitor any new communities of your interest with the tool made available by the administrators of feddit.de https://browse.feddit.de/

So far, so good. Excited to see more variety in communities as more users discover and migrate to lemmy.

Is there one overall community just mirrored across all instances? Or is the “Nintendo” on lemmy.ml different than the “Nintendo” on bee.haw or whatever? (Just an example - no idea if these communities exist)

[–] hllywluis@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

It's accessible from every instance that is Federated with the other. So for example if I'm on sh.itjust.works and there's a Nintendo community on lemmy.ml, I would be able to access it just by searching !nintendo@lemmy.ml for example. The same goes for other communities on other instances, you would just replace lemmy.ml with the instance url.

Ok that makes sense… but in this example, they are still two distinct communities? E.g., the comments are different in each?

Looks pretty good to me at the moment. I have a community on Reddit that I might try to bring over here, nothing crazy, but I am cool with making the jump!

Couple of nit-picky things that I'd love to see changed.

This comment box. There's nothing to visually divide it from the original post. I got it figured out, but my brain is still resisting it as bad UX.

On the home feed, the group an article comes from is tiny and not obvious. My eye is constantly jumping back and forth from subject to group, group to subject, and it's fatiguing. The subject is only half of what describes the post: what group that subject belongs to is the other.

On the home feed, I have to click Subscribed for my feed. Setting and getting a cookie is at most two lines of code each in vanilla javascript, seems to me that'd be an easy choice to remember.

Former Reddit user here. It's a bit confusing but I'm holding up. I'm glad I found Kbin as it seems pretty user friendly compared to the various Lemmy instances. I'm excited for the future of both networks, and look forward to getting my head around it all a little better.

[–] beefbaby182@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

So far, so good.

I am taking to it a bit quicker than Mastodon since I used Reddit more than Twitter.

[–] aqua@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Just did it.
