I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?

I'm a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It's definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it's great to see something that isn't Reddit growing in popularity!

It seems a pretty solid Reddit alternative 👍

It needs a mobile app though (like Apollo). Something simple, modern and easy to use. Hopefully at some point we can get something similar.

Try Jerboa for Lemmy, works pretty well for me :)

This is what I'm using at the minute, seems ok so far. Any tips for a new user?

[-] Xenxs@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've only been using Jerboa (and Lemmy) myself since yesterday so I'm not in a place to give out tips yet :D

[-] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

We are very much in the same boat then.

Thanks. Is this available on iOS? It seems it’s only for Android.

I downloaded the app but it’s asking for a homepage in order to join. I’m confused what I need to put in there

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I have not used that app, but it sounds like perhaps it's asking for the instance that you signed up on? For example mine would be lemmy.world

[-] thedeserter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Actually I was able to join the matrix chat thing for mlem and work it out. I had to put in the instance part for eg I joined fmhy instance so I had to enter lemmy.fmhy.ml

Thank you!

I typed in kbin.social at Instance but it doesn't log in. Did I miss something?
