Digging it so far. Some technical issues but I think they may just be due to the mobile app I am using (sometimes when I open a post, the comments displayed are the ones from the last post I looked at). But it feels much more.. Democratic? Than reddit did.

Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.

Is there an easier way to find communities on other instances? I wish I could browse another instance as if it were "local" to organically find more communities.

I have finally managed to create an account, so do we have CSS like original reddit? Other then that lemmy seems pretty cool

I’m loving Beehaw! And it’s super cool that we can all interact across servers and communities.

I think this has a lot of potential, I mean I’m already using it a ton. The only thing missing imo is more niche communities, but those will come along as the user base grows.

A bit uncomfortable with the UI and stuff, as I am an old.reddit user, I like to consume content in my comfortable way. I normally do not tend to have issues with UI changes, but reddit was extremely comfortable in that mode. I will however try my best to get used to this, as I'd do anything to avoid Reddit from now on.

I'm having trouble navigating through lemmy. The Frontpage was different before I created an account. Could someone explain the instances? I logged in to lemmy.world does that mean the content on the rest of lemmy is off limits? I have to create an account for each instance?

I see there is lemmy.ml and others

Edit: I get it now. Thanks for the explanation

Can we call communities "lemlets?"

Thanks for having us! I'm excited to try this out. I am only just trying to figure out how all of this works.

I have subscribed to several communities now, but when I go to the main page, I still see the generic content that was there before I logged in. How do I view a feed of just the communities I have subscribed to (analogous to the front page on reddit)

This is my first visit so I'm still trying to figure things out. I'm on the mobile website right now because I haven't been able to figure out how to log in on the Jerboa app. Can anyone tell me what "instance" means on Jerboa when you're logging in? I tried a couple different ones from the dropdown menu but they all said " incorrect login."

On Reddit you have your home page or start page that shows combined content from all of your subscribed subreddits and nothing else... how do I get to something like that here, or isn't there anything like that here?

Glad to see an alternative is gaining traction! The inversed colours for up and downvotes will take some getting used to!

To double-check that I understand Lemmy correctly: the equivalent to a subreddit is a server, right? So within lemmy.world there aren’t necessarily subforums/topics/subreddits.

Jerboa kinda sucks and Lemmur straight up doesn't let you sign in.

A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.

I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".

It's quite laggy (understandably) and I'm having trouble navigating myself, finding communities/topics, finding people to interact with etc. Naturally there will be teething problems early on, and different problems will arise as the reddit exodus increases. Still, I think Lemmy has huge potential.

I'm trying out Jerboa but it keeps telling me I'm not logged in every time I try to do something.

Anyone else having this issue?

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?

When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

It feels quite right. We need to set up lots of niche communities, but what I miss the most is the user base. It was diverse, and lemmy is known to have an specific user profile. Would be nice to reach out, wear a former redditors badge, and wear it with pride!

got into reddit fully just a few years ago. it was my go-to for silly frog pictures to cheer me up. any other instances (i hope i'm saying that right, something similar to a subreddit) that are frog related? i'd love to contribute some :)

I like it. Bringing over some No Man's Sky people. Is there a shorthand way to link communities? Like typing /r/NoMansSky would link to the subreddit on reddit, but /c/NoMansSky doesn't link to the community here. Would be a cool future feature if it's not one now!
