Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

How does it work if I come across an abandoned community (with a great name)? Can the owners/mods be modified, like on Reddit?

It's pretty confusing to find a community on another website, then search for it on here a specific way, then you can subscribe and post once it comes up. It's not too bad once I got used to it though. New users basically will need to be given the name of this website and how to find existing communities on other websites and post there. That's 2 things that need to be simple to have this grow.

So...I guess this is a chance for a fresh start then.

Not really sure what kind of things I'll get up to on this site, but as they say, the sky's the limit

Looking good so far!

Looks promising, curious how it will turn out after the 2 days blackout

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'm quite enjoying it so far! mlem is surprisingly great

It seems intuitive coming from Reddit. I’m excited to explore all the communities and see what’s going on

I abandoned Reddit months ago tho, I was mostly a lurker, but since with the news I'll join something new. Plus, it's on the fediverse :)

I feel like having so many instances open before Lemmy as a whole grew really big is gonna be a hurdle for communities to grow really big. But maybe the culture of Lemmy will center itself around instances rather than communities. Either way I'm glad to see a Reddit competitor that actually expands upon what Reddit was doing through federation instead of just being "what if Reddit was smaller and buggier"

Hello everyone!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Good so far! Is there a way to sort comments by upvotes on Jerboa?

Thank you! :D Allthough I still have some hope left that we don't have to stay permanently, this feels promising ^^ There isn't an iOS Client though, right?

It's in TestFlight, see [email protected]
