/u/spez is awful. (First post on Lemmy on any instance!) Looking forward to seeing Lemmy grow!

A bit confusing, but I'm really excited about this. I hope the 'choose server' part when you sign up gets streamlined a bit. It's very confusing for new people. My first post on Lemmy by the way!

I have already made the transition to mastodon and now lemmy. I am loving the change and the freedom we are all gaining.

I just spent a little time today creating my Lemmy.world account and trying to find equivalents of my favorite subs from Reddit. I really question whether Reddit will survive the uprising that has spawned. I think the IPO is going to go very poorly, then Reddit will turn into some commercial mess. This is my first Lemmy post, BTW!

I am here on mobile using Mlem. Mlem has an interface superficially like Apollo, but it doesn't have nearly the polish and features, like swiping posts to the side to up/downvote. I didn't realize (until I lost it) how much that single capability improved QoL. Until an app comes along with better UX and QoL, I probably won't stay. (I don't doomscroll on my computer either).

The whole lemmy concept mixed with the current situation feels far more like you are part of a real community. Kinda like in old internet days. I will even break out of my reddit lurker days and try to contribute here.

Hello world :)

This is my first comment here, hope I'm doing it right!

Jerboa kinda sucks and Lemmur straight up doesn't let you sign in.

A lot of communities are unfortunately missing, the Lemmy devs should do a better job of advertising the platform to Reddit expats so we can have more content.

I'm hoping some third party Reddit apps rewrite themselves to support a Lemmy backend.

It takes a little getting used to, but I like it!

Just got here since Apollo is going away and I won’t use Reddit’s app. Not sure I quite get how it works yet, so can’t say how I like it so far. Gotta play around with it a bit. Are there any apps for this yet?

Figured I’d just pass along a quick “hello” as someone that just jumped on tonight. Keen to see how the service develops and grows. Hope Lemmy in general takes off in time! Certainly early days (nabbing my first name as a user name is always a sign of that!), but there’s great potential.

Honestly I'm glad that reddit is going down the tubes. It's time for a change.

Seems good so far, having some lag issues but that's unsurprising. I'll join a couple of communities and see how it goes over the next few weeks/months.

I suppose the Reddit issue has at least got me to look into Lemmy. Seems interesting, albeit quite small. Still, oak trees grow from small acorns, etc, etc. ;-)

I like the website. I like the idea. I like lack of advertising and hyper-paranoia and consumer algorithms.

What I don't like is some of the devs describing themselves as 'communists' and 'anarchists.'

Extremism is never a good look, and the fact that Lemmys founders are... Definitely tickling that dragons tail is concerning to me

is there any advantage of using one instance vs another? I made accounts on both kbin and lemmy.world, is it all the same except whatever UI i prefer?

When i visit some communities in kbin, it tells it the posts might not all be up to date

Hello it's great to be here!

I'm hopeful. The Fediverse has certain things I like and approve of. I'm looking forward to having backups of all my Fediverse accounts to prevent losing things when servers drop off. I'm learning the interface again, with mixed feelings. Nice to be in the ascent of a site instead of the peak/decline.

Pretty good, can someone explain how federation works with Lemmy? Are communities linked?

Still getting used to it, so far I like it. Bummed to lose Reddit, but glad to have found a new place.

it almost feels liberating leaving reddit and I really like this site its very clean and easy on the eyes. There are some responsiveness problems on mobile but I have no idea if that's just my phone.

Confused? Excited! Yes to both! Will take a while to get acclimated and understand how it all works together, different from Reddit as this seems to be separate and together at the same time. Glad you're all so open to accept the Reddit refugees, have felt very welcome, so a very big thank for that.

@immadeofgold I'm pretty excited despite it being daunting. It reminds me of the 90s internet days. Looking forward to learning something new and fun.

I'm enjoying it. The mobile PWA needs a card view like the MLEM app, unless I'm missing something.
