username checks out

I haven't been here for too long, but it's not bad. I actually like that the community is not too big. It feels satisfying to actually be able to get to the end of the comments. Still learning the ropes, though.

For me there is too much whitespace. I want a compact view. It's mostly about text anyway. Buttons could be more prominent.

But in general it's awesome. Finally dipping toes into the fediverse!

It's pretty interesting so far! I'm coming from Reddit Sync and now using Jerboa so it's quite similar but also a lot of things aren't where I expect them 😆

I do web dev and UX so definitely agree with the onboarding process being a little clunky for users.

I had no idea what the fediverse was until Lemmy so getting your head around it can be a bit much at the start. I was lucky to find a local server (instance? Not sure on terminology) so no delay issues.

And for any newbies this link is very helpful: https://browse.feddit.de.

I do miss the size of Reddit at times, but that's likely to drop now anyway with all the buggering around they're doing.

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion, but could the users wanting a 1 for 1 Reddit clone just.....go support one of the 1 for 1 Reddit clones? I'm getting really tired already of everybody signing up for a decentralized system that advertises it's lack of a central authority to escape the site due to the actions of it's central authority then immediately complaining there is no central authority.

I understand the culture shock and have been trying to do my part in explaining that Lemmy and Reddit are not the same system, but I'm already seeing a sense of hostility towards the devs along the lines of "Oh it's not like Reddit fuck that well I guess we'll see if the devs bother listening to ThIeR uSeRs and make it Reddit!" and those people can go fuck themselves.

I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.

I like it. But it will only feel like home when people are sharing all the ideas, advice, questions, news, and most importantly, shit-posting, that I previously got from reddit.

Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong

It is really great. Once the servers stabilize this is going to be so much better than Reddit.

other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc

I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)

Liking the clean interface reminiscent of old reddit

It's fucking lit in here. Also fuck Spez.

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?

I like it! I'm on Jerboa and it's no different from what I'm used to using Boost, although I do hope it continues to add customization and sorting comments by new wouldn't hurt (unless if I somehow miss the setting in each post)

It is like wild west here and I like it!

I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.

Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.

It is taking shape as we use and improve it.

Still definitely needs some polish on the UI / UX front, as well as a more seamless experience for new users. But overall I can definitely see the potential!

It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.

@ruud@lemmy.world

New to Lemmy like most on here rn. Can we get thumbnails for the posts and for links to open in new tabs?

Also, what is the delay on posting comments? Is that due to server usage or syncing to other instances?

Much appreciate the instance!

I love it! I love the energy of everyone trying to figure out what the future will be. And it feels good to be out of this corporate dystopia that reddit has become.

I like it alot. I used RIF and it's very similar, plus how I interacted with reddit is kinda how lemmy is set up anyway. Small community, simple mostly text based view, sort by new.

The only bothersome bugs I've come across so far are: upvoting/commenting within inbox should be accessible with out click and hold, and the upvote itself is very laggy in the inbox as well. And posting a picture taken with phone gets turned sideways for some reason. Some one smarter than me will figure it out I'm sure.

I’m enjoying it thus far. I wasn’t a serious Reddit user when it first launched but became more frequent about 6 years after it launched. Lemmy still feels more like what Reddit did even in 2011.

I like the people and I trust I'm not stuck talking to some Marvel inc corporate intern tasked with promotion for the day on some sub reddit that's run by the company but made to look like a grassroots community

I hate using apps, so I use the browser on mobile. From that perspective, Lemmy seems snappier. I don't know if it actually is or just the perception from a cleaner interface, and not getting bugged about the app.

I use only jerboa, like before I used only Infinity for reddit. I find lemmy very cool, when there was the twitter migration I tried for some weeks mastodon but was not my ambient. Lemmy, being like reddit is more my kind of site. I like that in Jerboa I have the tab for my subscription, the tab for my istance (the italian one in my case) and the all tab. I find it realy usefull. The only thing is that searching for sub or for some thing is not immediate as in reddit, but I think that with time we will get a more populate site.

It is like wild west to me and I like it!!
