Technology

Good enough, lots of things to improve but it's usable, I can see communities migrating from reddit.

I'm using Jerboa right now, i didn't like the web version, too much wasted space.

I like it so far. It has some familiar features, but there are some learning curves to it.

The only complaint I've had so far is the difficulty of spinning up your own instance. There isn't any up to date documentation for the process as the official documentation seems to be outdated unfortunately. Ansible doesn't seem to work as it give an error. Docker works mostly bit will not federate with other instances.

I appreciate the clean interface and the relatively chill vibe. Regardless of what happens with reddit I think I'll be hanging out and enjoying the communities.

I love it! I'm looking around the fediverse and the options are impressive.

So far, I'm loving it. I'm using Jerboa (android client for Lemmy), which is working nicely.

I wish there was a way to collapse branches of nested comments.

Love the idea of smaller "indie" social media communities without any profit incentive, just purely spaces to socialize and hang out. Also appreciate that there's solid moderation against hate speech etc. Otherwise it's still clear that it's a new and growing thing and perhaps there's some uncertainty about what the day-to-day realities of it will look like, but it's interesting to be exploring it at such an early time.

It's a bit rough around the edges,but it does the job and so far I haven't missed reddit at all.

Having to make a new account because I wanted to see NSFW on another instance was kind of a mood killer. Not sure how that could be done better but I really don't want to be making other accounts.

So far there has been a bit of a learning curve. Still trying to learn how to find communities and navigate everything. Hopefully the more people that join the greater the content that will be available.

As for the experience, I wish there were more options for customizing the look apart from dark/light. Options like font size, etc.

I'm leaving behind reddit after 10 years of on and off use, in the last 5 years almost constant use. I'm happy because I feel rhus platform seems really great , I really like the layout and stye of it all. I hope to understand it better going forward

I have been enjoying it so far, the software feels quite similar to old reddit in many ways but the community so far is a bit less toxic. If anyone is wishing to use it on iPad I recommend going to your instance and in the share menu adding it to the home page as there isn't yet a good option for iPad.

I am also looking forward to the addition of 2fa in the next update

My local instance has quite a few active communities, but I still wish others were more active. One thing I really like is that the discussion in the comments seems to be more thoughtful and constructive.

Next on my to-do list is trying out the mobile apps. Maybe one of them will be like Apollo one day. The whole UI and UX is (still a few days) best in class.

The start has been really exciting and I look forward to seeing how both Lemmy and the fediverse in general develop. Fingers crossed 🤞

I feel like it's more of a community than Reddit. There is more collective spirit here right now.
I'm concerned about the tankie baggage.

The UI is certainly attractive on Jerboa, and I imagine will improve with time. I'm using mainly on an android phone. I second another comment on enjoying the "real conversations" bit, as this feels much more human, and not a platform abused by bots, marketing, and astroturfing (and also greedy, grifting CEOs). I do have an issue with Jerboa not maintaining my sign in status every time, and the feed not loading every time I open the app, but it's small potatoes. I'm looking forward to the evolution of Lemmy!
