I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

I am loving this. I don't think I'll be using reddit as much as I did previously.

it shows promise, but the federation leads to much confusion. In order to truly replace the likes of reddit and such, it needs to be more cohesive.

It took me about 30 mins of getting used to the idiosyncrasies and the bugs (btw people most of the bugs are issues in github, go vote or comment!). Once I did I have been happy as a clam.

this is more fun than reddit has been in years!

Bit of a learning curve, but it's fun! Feels like the early Internet!

i'm loving it - even the rawness of it - eg kbin grinding at the moment - it feels like you're a part of the development. my only concern is what happens where there are multiple large communities/magazines/whatever.your.instance.calls.it. Say there's a !funny@lemmy and a !funny@kbin. would be great if these could be aggregated together some how. There could be a lot of duplication across communities. Or will one rise supreme and the others dwindle to nothingness? who knows.

I love your username! And yeah, I like the direction of where Lemmy is going, especially with the number of users migrating. I used to hate how there were so many things going on in Reddit, however here it's a lot more minimalistic as it's still a very small community. Reminds me of simpler times back then.

I like it very much, i miss some more options, but the first impression is damn good and i'm happy.

I'm enjoying it more than reddit for the time being for the same reason I enjoyed reddit before it was commercialized. The slight technical barrier to entry is keeping the braindead out for now.

Kind of a catch 22 though, because you need to have some of the idiots to flesh out the population. Time will tell.

After all of 5 minutes, I'm undecided. It's not Reddit, which is probably a good thing at this point. I need to spend more time here...

Love it as much as I love your username

I wish the layout was more responsive. When I look at it on desktop it still looks formatted for a phone.

It's been taking like 20-30 seconds to submit a comment or post.

I like the community. I'm hoping that Lemmy doesn't turn into the cesspool that parts of Reddit became. I do have to refresh the page to see my posts and comments, but I imagine that there are some functional difficulties with scaling the platform to accommodate all of the people coming from Reddit.

As someone who always felt very overshadowed on Reddit, I'm looking forward to contributing more here.
