Asklemmy

Something that I will call out is that I really appreciate the live changes in the thread on the website itself. Makes interacting with comments and everyone a lot easier.

Joined yesterday after shutting down my 14+ year old Reddit account (mourning has commenced). So far, so good. Will spend time looking around for the next few days but do consider this home now. Jerboa is an easy transition from RIF (unlike others, no complaints on functionality - it does everything I need ATM and I do remember the early days of Reddit: this is so smooth by comparison). Just need more users and more content but that will surely come quickly given u/spez's decision-making.

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.

Lemmy.ml performance is... slow due to overloading, and other lemmy servers sign-ins are busted - endless loading circles, endless createPostLike console log spam.

I need to familiarize myself to this. I have used RiF for as long as I can remember. So I need to find a new place for my fix.

I think I can get the hang ot it eventually. However, I hope a RiF like Android app for the frediverse gets developed.

I don't really know whats going on the whole instance thing confuses me. Whats it's pros? Why use it

Really liking it! I just want some simple tweaks here and there to this instance’s ui.

I'm enjoying, the UX feels a bit lacking but it can become better with time, I'm reading the docs to see if I can help and running my instance, I'm enjoying so far!

I'm still very much in the kicking the tires phase but I'm generally liking it. Looking over all the communities is kinda like walking down a busy street full of shops the first time. So many possibilities! Who knows how many will actually become places I use?

Already debating if I start communities I want to see or just give it more time to maybe find it on another instance or wait for someone else.

Oh yeah, also waiting for mobile apps. I feel like that's going to be hugely important given how I tend to consume this type of content.

I like it so far, it has a low key relaxed energy. I mostly used reddit for the smaller communities so this kinda works for me.

If you're interested in reading more thoughts and comments, there was a massive thread on the same subject the other day:

It was a bit confusing, I'm still a little confused on why I would choose one instance over another (I kinda just picked one?) And then there's the communities within the instances, I see some that are duplicates between instances and I'm not sure if I should just subscribe to the one on my instance or can I subscribe to the others? Are the vibes different? I'm sure I'll get used to it, I just haven't had to be an internet pioneer in many years.

I'd be interested in navigation shortcuts, similar to RES. J/K to move up and down, X to expand post content. Made it very easy to navigate Reddit. Not sure if that's a thing on Lemmy or not...

In terms of functionality, I'd love to have a search feature such that I can search for individual posts matching my search query. I don't think we can do that currently.

Does the federated structure make this difficult/impossible though?

Concerned regarding the state of apps in iOS, probably will have to mourn the loss of Apollo (which was absolutely amazing)

Same here. I do feel and see that a LOT of work will be required to get lemmy where it needs to be but something tells me that these are the interesting days for Lemmy!

Honestly, pretty good.

Confusing. Took me a while to figure out how to reply to this

There's not a single middle eastern sub, and I doubt there ever will be😞
