I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. Itโ€™s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isnโ€™t too much going on. Itโ€™s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

I'm a fan of it so far. It's slower paced at the moment and I feel like I can keep up with a smaller number of communities.

I've gotten more done today than I have in a long time. And spent plenty of time in the Fediverse too. I'm loving this so far, there'll be things I'll miss of course.

[โ€“] sorenant@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

A bit rough on the edges and scarce in content but I'm hopeful it will improve with time.

I've been going back and forth between Lemmy and kBin (?). Can't decide which I prefer at this point. I like that kbin has 'tags' when I post a link. (I post a lot of links in my mod role over on reddit.)

I did most of my fediverse learning curve late last year during the twitter migration, so this was no sweat for me.

So far I miss being able to see a graphic associated with links I post--but maybe that feature will arrive one day... I'm prepared to have plenty of patience and look forward to watching how things improve.

It will be interesting to see if this migration matches the twitter adoption curve: lot's of initial excitement, then a big dropping off of participation (which may be a typical pattern of any online adoption?)

Don't miss reddit one bit, this is great! Feels fresh. I like the user interface of Jerboa, slim and not much clutter. Once in a while I get an error, but going back and forth fixes it.

Honestly a great transition. Now I'm looking to replace all sm with fediverse alternatives

All I'm missing right now is sorting (comments at least) by new, top or best etc

It's been pretty fun! I'm looking forward to what's to come!

[โ€“] ElGatoEsBlanco@labdegato.com 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's been taking a bit of tweaking since I decided to host my own instance, but when it works it's fantastic. Feels like the social media of 10 years ago.

I'm currently using the web mobile version, and tbh it is already way better than Reddit version lol.

[โ€“] ahhhuevo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Its pretty decent, pleasantly surprised. I needed to get over the fediverse jargon after that smooth sailin'. Feels goood

[โ€“] Rick@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (15 children)

Other than the random communist extremists, I like it, but I hope this place doesnt turn into the next Voat as I have a strong feeling it will.

Really fragmented, but really good.

[โ€“] ThatOneGuy@lemmy.one 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The page is jumping around some on Safari for iPad, but I'm sticking with it for now.

Slow at times but it's improving little by little with more contributors and development.

[โ€“] generalpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Loving it. Itโ€™s clunky, sure, but honestly, itโ€™s fine given how much work it takes to get something like this to work well at scale. Things will evolve and Iโ€™m sure instancing, finding communities, mobile app etc etc, will all get figured out. Once thereโ€™s enough momentum in usage, thatโ€™ll naturally become the driving force behind a lot of the work that needs to happen.

Iโ€™m just glad that we already have the user base and passion behind an alternative. Iโ€™m more than happy with not having the volume, but having the quality of what contributed to reddit, i.e. the people. In the meantime, please be sure to donate folks.

frontend is bootstrap as fuck lol, but it does the job

[โ€“] kyrbi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I dont really like UI, its one of the things that will make me go back to Reddit

Getting a bit more used to it after some hours of use. Using the site is mostly self-explanatory, especially if you're used to Reddit, Discord and Mastodon. Looks promising.

[โ€“] FantasyWalk17@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It's a little buggy here and there and needs some UI improvement, but once I finish setting up my account and subscribe to communities it's quite good. Being able to search and subscribe to communities from both Local Server and All Servers within Lemmy should be made more clear for new users, as they normally use search bar to search for eveything.

I initially try to access Lemmy and comment posts from my Mastodon account. I can paste Lemmy post url to search bar in Mastodon, hit enter and the post will appear. But it's like parsing a Reddit post and its comment to a Twitter one, it's not the same experience, so I have to create a Lemmy account. I guess it is great if you want to promote something within Fediverse

[โ€“] Markimus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

It's interesting.

I'm not sure on the interface, though I'm sure I'll get used to it. ๐Ÿ˜…

[โ€“] WaffleFriends@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I do see a lot of potential but there are some issues I'm facing. For some reason, I'm unable to login to lemmy.world from my phone. There's not a whole lot of content but I'm expecting that to change. It's very nice here, overall.

I love lemmy, way more than Reddit. I was already excited about the fediverse with mastodon and I absolutely love seeing another use case for it.

[โ€“] gerbrand@fedia.io 3 points 1 year ago

I was barely active on reddit, and very new to kbin/lemmy and I like the until now. I am pretty active on mastodon, I can see the added value.

[โ€“] Rull_9@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I've moved here cause of the current Reddit drama, and I gotta say, this is a lot nicer than reddit currently is
