It's fucking lit in here. Also fuck Spez.

It's still very new but I think it's a great framework to build on. I do worry about fragmentation (each instance having its own gaming community for example). And the smaller niche subreddits I followed will be hard to replace / replicate here.

I am amazed how fast this platform has grown in a few days. Quite exciting!

I like the simple, 'clean' looking format. I wouldn't say no to a dark mode option but otherwise I think it's ideal. It's restful because it's not too visually busy.

Edit: Found the dark mode option, yay!

Apparently this is an unpopular opinion, but could the users wanting a 1 for 1 Reddit clone just.....go support one of the 1 for 1 Reddit clones? I'm getting really tired already of everybody signing up for a decentralized system that advertises it's lack of a central authority to escape the site due to the actions of it's central authority then immediately complaining there is no central authority.

I understand the culture shock and have been trying to do my part in explaining that Lemmy and Reddit are not the same system, but I'm already seeing a sense of hostility towards the devs along the lines of "Oh it's not like Reddit fuck that well I guess we'll see if the devs bother listening to ThIeR uSeRs and make it Reddit!" and those people can go fuck themselves.

I am finding it to be very clunky.

It is like wild west here and I like it!

Can we disable the auto "refreshing" that add new post when we scrolling the home screen?

username checks out

I like it. But it will only feel like home when people are sharing all the ideas, advice, questions, news, and most importantly, shit-posting, that I previously got from reddit.

I am trying to adjust to this format. I am used to old.reddit and RES. But, I'm going to give it a go. I imagine once I get a few sub... sublemmies? going It will start to smooth out for me.

And hey, good luck to everyone on the adjustment period.

Just migrated my account here. Honestly it's getting a lot bigger here than what I've expected. Always lurked around Reddit, but I wouldn't mind changing my route over here. I'm just happy that everyone gets to experience a free and open source alternative :)

Seems solid, I was really excited for Mastodon and loved the idea but.......I didn't really use Twitter much so I didn't have a need for it still.

Reddit has always been my go to social media so I'm glad a fedi version of it exists with lemmy!

I'm liking lemmy on Android with Jerboa, no major issues.

Moreover, I have been able to subscribe to several communities on different instances.

It is taking shape as we use and improve it.

I like it! I'm on Jerboa and it's no different from what I'm used to using Boost, although I do hope it continues to add customization and sorting comments by new wouldn't hurt (unless if I somehow miss the setting in each post)

Haven't used it much but something that I don't really like correct me if I'm wrong, but basically the site has multiple servers, and each server can have multiple subreddits right? What I don't like is that there isn't really a r/all combining all subreddits within all servers, it's just r/all within the server which I feel spreads the content too thin. Correct me if I'm wrong

Once you get a hang of how the fediverse works in general, it's pretty good so far. Using mostly mobile atm, nice and clean, functional pretty similar experience to reddit. Aside from a few features missing like search, I'd imagine there is plenty of room for moderator tools too, and the occasional error codes, I'm loving it so far. No ads, just content, and while it's not the firehose that reddit is/was, if this keeps getting popular, I could forsee just as many communities popping up across instances as there are subreddits.

I'm sure with the influx of users from reddit, especially the more technically savvy mods we're going to see a lot of good tools made for the app and with it being open source, I imagine the devtimes are going to be even quicker than dealing with an ok API.

Hello. I moved to Reddit with the Digg Exodus, and now I'm here. History does repeat itself.

I like Lemmy a lot! I'm gonna stick around :)

Your username is perfect.

I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.

It's a breath of fresh air after using Reddit for so many years.

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?

It is really great. Once the servers stabilize this is going to be so much better than Reddit.

I'm getting comfy. It feels right to be away from Reddit.

I love it! I love the energy of everyone trying to figure out what the future will be. And it feels good to be out of this corporate dystopia that reddit has become.

@ruud@lemmy.world

New to Lemmy like most on here rn. Can we get thumbnails for the posts and for links to open in new tabs?

Also, what is the delay on posting comments? Is that due to server usage or syncing to other instances?

Much appreciate the instance!

other than the growing pains of today, it seems good to me so far. Very much like Reddit from back in the day. Really like that the control is out of the hands of a corporation, I'm tired of changing site (Slashdot > Digg > Reddit > etc

Think I'm still trying to get my head around it all, such as trying to join new communities. Trying to take my time to read through guides and such, but so far it's been good!

It is like wild west to me and I like it!!
