A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Im liking Lemmy so far. It’s an adjustment and clearly the software is in its infancy, but it does not suck once one adjusts.
I like it so far. It has some familiar features, but there are some learning curves to it.
I’m still getting things setup but really enjoy it so far! Excited to see so many folks joining the fediverse and putting ActivityPub to work!!!
I hope in the near future some of the nuances will be more clearly explained to new users such as how to search for external communities.
I wish the UI was more dense like old.reddit.
these are minor complaints though and I know the contributors weren't building lemmy in anticipation of the API exodus.
I was using Boost for Reddit but with it's eminent death I came to Jeroba for Lemmy. Pretty close to my boost experience! very easy to adapt and made the whole "servers" thing that I didn't really like a lot easier. Now I'm following a lot of comunities in different servers and can see them all. Perfection
I’m happy to be a part of growing this community. I like that no one is trying to make money from my engagement.
I'm getting used to the slight UI differences but it has a similar vibe. The biggest difference to me is the server/global federated dynamic. I like that it's owned by individuals running communities rather than a megacorp mining data and engagement for profit. I'm also on mastodon, but I never used twitter so I feel like there's fewer expectations to unlearn.
Not a fan of the UI, but I love the community here! It's the best parts of Reddit combined with the best parts of Fedi.
