Thanks. So far, I'm really enjoying Lemmy. What I really miss is a good iOS client. But I guess it's hard to build something like Apollo...

I really hope this place gains traction. I'm too young to have been on Digg, but I hope to be on the ground floor for the next platform. I'm not a very technically educated person, but from what I've heard, that kind of business model Reddit has is impossible. It'd be localised to individual "subreddits", instead of the whole website.

Haven’t been on long enough to decide how it functions, but the aesthetic remind me a lot of Alien Blue, so I’m a fan so far.

I'm scared and confused and don't know where all the cat pictures are.

I am hoping this takes off. Still poking around trying to figure everything out!

[–] Shasha2 4 points 2 years ago

I just got here, figuring things out slowly

[–] FartsWithAnAccent 4 points 2 years ago

Hey thanks, glad to be here. Lemmy seems very promising!

[–] exoplanetary 4 points 2 years ago

Website seems pretty neat. Glad to have a proper alternative to Reddit as it continues to burn to the ground lol.

As the saying goes, fuck /u/spez!

I'm having trouble navigating through lemmy. The Frontpage was different before I created an account. Could someone explain the instances? I logged in to lemmy.world does that mean the content on the rest of lemmy is off limits? I have to create an account for each instance?

I see there is lemmy.ml and others

Edit: I get it now. Thanks for the explanation

Easiest thing to do, click Communities up at the top, then click "All" right below "List of communities"

This will show you all of the communities from all of the federated lemmys (sorted by number of users), and allow you to subscribe to them and easily interact with them from your lemmy.world account. Once you subscribe to the ones you want, you can go back to the main lemmy.world home screen and click Subscribed, which will give you a list of posts from your subscribed communities, much like the Reddit home screen.

looking good, already feels better

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

So far it’s been good. There is a bit of a learning curve, setting up on mobile devices was a little challenging. Seems to be working well now. This thread has been really helpful for me.

[–] meraqued 3 points 2 years ago

Excited for the change! Kind of confusing tho

[–] hannadryad 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm optimistic although I know I probably won't have the same kind of conversations about esports I had on Reddit.

I guess I will have to scout around a bit to see if there are groups for things in local feeds on other lemmy instances that I can't see here? Rather than re-inventing the wheel?

Vibin, feed hasn't changed too much

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

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

[–] dunz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Quite like it... haven found a good mobile client yet though. But I've only tried Jerboa, and that just kept loading forever

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