It's early stages but the conversations here feel more "high effort". I think it might also be because of signup approvals which weeds out bots/low effort posters. I do feel the growth pains with the timeouts happening more often but overall content-wise it is quite nice.

I like the UI, only thing I've noticed is that comments and upvotes can take quite some time to show up

I like it. I prefer the UI plus it's really refreshing to browse some similar communities i also browse on reddit and not seeing that many memes.

A bit rough on the edges and scarce in content but I'm hopeful it will improve with time.

Your username is perfect.

I am trying to adjust to this format. I am used to old.reddit and RES. But, I'm going to give it a go. I imagine once I get a few sub... sublemmies? going It will start to smooth out for me.

And hey, good luck to everyone on the adjustment period.

I like it, but there are issues like timeouts when I try to sub/comment on some posts, but I'll take it if it means being free of corporate control

I think it's kindof hard to find topics, because even if you set a filter the auto refresh ignores the filter. Still waiting for communities to pop up that match tastes.

I've been going back and forth between Lemmy and kBin (?). Can't decide which I prefer at this point. I like that kbin has 'tags' when I post a link. (I post a lot of links in my mod role over on reddit.)

I did most of my fediverse learning curve late last year during the twitter migration, so this was no sweat for me.

So far I miss being able to see a graphic associated with links I post--but maybe that feature will arrive one day... I'm prepared to have plenty of patience and look forward to watching how things improve.

It will be interesting to see if this migration matches the twitter adoption curve: lot's of initial excitement, then a big dropping off of participation (which may be a typical pattern of any online adoption?)

It's very interesting so far, and the idea of being able to access this via Mastodon is really cool to me

I like it and there's probably about as much traffic here was there was on reddit when I was started using it in the early 2010s. The design is nice and I like the federated concept although it is going to be a learning curve for some users. My particular home server is slow and down sometimes but in a way I feel its necessary to take some ownership and contribute to server improvements as we get more users if we want to sustain this.

I've gotten more done today than I have in a long time. And spent plenty of time in the Fediverse too. I'm loving this so far, there'll be things I'll miss of course.

I dig it but I wish there was a more compact view option for the web version.

It's been taking a bit of tweaking since I decided to host my own instance, but when it works it's fantastic. Feels like the social media of 10 years ago.

Also trying tildes, but lemmy seems more like what I'm looking for. Like the ui!

Really fragmented, but really good.

It's a start. I have lots of issues, but I'm willing to let them go in the hope that it will work itself out in time.

Loving it. It’s clunky, sure, but honestly, it’s fine given how much work it takes to get something like this to work well at scale. Things will evolve and I’m sure instancing, finding communities, mobile app etc etc, will all get figured out. Once there’s enough momentum in usage, that’ll naturally become the driving force behind a lot of the work that needs to happen.

I’m just glad that we already have the user base and passion behind an alternative. I’m more than happy with not having the volume, but having the quality of what contributed to reddit, i.e. the people. In the meantime, please be sure to donate folks.

Other than the random communist extremists, I like it, but I hope this place doesnt turn into the next Voat as I have a strong feeling it will.

It's interesting.

I'm not sure on the interface, though I'm sure I'll get used to it. 😅
