Compared to old.reddit + RES there's still some space for improvement in terms of UX for lemmy but overall, not too bad :P

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.

Loving it so far. Once you get used to how you connect to other instances it's a breeze.
Like you said Jerboa, is really coming along nicely and is easy to use.
Can't reysee myself using Reddit much any more tbh

I'm loving it. It's like the good old days of smaller forums, except they all link together to become a reddit-like conglomerate, best of both worlds.
I'm easing into it. With more usage, more content, more users, and more updates, it'll be like I never knew Reddit. Growing pains, whatever you want to call it, just makes me happy to be part of a new adventure for sharing and consuming content.
I'm no UX/UI expert, but I hope Lemmy makes it easier to filter content on the main page, collapse comments, and find specific subcommunities and users.
I got Jerboa right where RIF used to be on my home screen, it's almost like nothing changed.
My guess is that redditers will want lemmy to be just like....reddit, but without the public-corp nonsense and with UI that is at minimum on-par with 3rd party apps people gravitate toward on reddit.
I'm totally new to this so I'm also figuring out my way around. The federated organization is confusing for sure, but not so much that people can't get it.
Some work could be done from a user focus... Simplify(including caring for duplicated hosts and communities), educate on lemmy's benefits, make searching for new communities seamless and less of a quest.
I feel like it's more of a community than Reddit. There is more collective spirit here right now.
I'm concerned about the tankie baggage.
It's okay so far. I'm still getting used to the UI.
Love it! Looking forward to the day where there’s larger communities and 3rd party apps, I’m normally a lurker and it’s hard when there’s so little content, it’ll come with time and I’m doing my part.
One problem is there is no dark mode button in user settings. I'm sure there is something you can download and apply or something, just would like a little slider in settings before I go snowblind.
