It's my first full day on Lemmy and I'm liking it a lot so far. It's definitely smaller than reddit but it feels more personal this way. I'm sure that will change after the exodus that will be happening over there soon.
My biggest gripe is that there isn't a working Lemmy iOS app in my region, yet.
I have spotty metered mobile internet connection, and while the web app is lightweight enough, it requires the downloading of page structures each time and it adds up after a while.
I do hope we'll eventually get high-quality apps to interface with the fediverse, much like Apollo with Reddit.
My main lemmy instance went down, and I had to go to three because so many people are creating accounts. So bad; but, for a good reason.
Still great as expected. Reddit screwing any mentions of migration or Lemmy will not last long as the EU might impose sanctions against the Snoosite
There's definitely a learning curve. How steep, I have not determined yet.
Its a double edged sword, a lot of the communities are small and do not have regular posts. A few I joined are effectively dead ATM; the flipside is I do find the comments and conversations to be more engaging with less of the toxicity of Reddit.
It's good. Except for the confusion about linking to communities on different servers. That's a real show stopper, if you ask me. Which you did, technically.
So far I don't quite understand how everything works. I am confident I will figure it out though
So far so good! Is there any mobile apps available though? That is 90% of my reddit browsing.
Redditfugee here. Lemmy is like if reddit and IRC had a baby. Some honest feedback:
Can lemmy.ml open signups so they don't need to be approved? At least temporarily. 90% of people are going to end up here when checking out lemmy. We want to make it as easy as possible for them to sign up and get started.
It's confusing how communities on other servers aren't automatically and easily available. You can add them but they should visible from the start.
If you add an external community and are confused as to why it's missing comments and posts, there should be a message to tell the user that it's fine, it's just syncing.
My main problem is the Jerboa app on Android does not make it easy to navigate to a specific subforum unless you know the name.
