Thanks for starting this!

Still learning my way around, but I want to give a special shout to Jerboa, it's not Relay or RIF (yet,) but it's already miles better than what they did to AlienBlue.

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 found the process a bit confusing at first, but I've really come to enjoy it.

There are a few enhancements that could really make it shine, one that I saw and really would like is a community tagging system. You could view all communities tagged as e.g "technology" in one view, helping stop communities being so splintered.

I am wondering about hosting my own instance to help spread the load, but community moderation doesn't interest me very much.

Lurked for a day anonymously, just signed up after liking what I saw. Considering hosting my own instance for myself just to try the set up, but my home server already has a lot running on it, need to think about it.

Hoping some communities I followed on reddit start to appear and have regular activity.

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

[–] CyberCypress 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [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.

Thanks for having us!

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

[–] Nevoic 4 points 2 years ago

Using the websites as PWAs is perfect IMO. I'm using the Kiwi browser (any chromium-based Android browser should be able to do this, as well as Firefox etc.).

Go to whatever instance you're using (like lemmy.world or lemmy.one etc.), go to the drop-down for settings, and find "Install App" or "Add to Homescreen". This should install it as a PWA (there you can also choose if you want it on your home screen, in the app drawer, or both), so if you click the Lemmy icon on your home screen/app drawer, it should be a fully proper app now (no address bar, could in theory support notifications, offline usage, etc. depending on how the PWA was coded).

I also tried Jerboa, but using lemmy.world directly as a PWA has been a great experience.

I don't understand lemmy. I can't login on any of the apps like lemmur. I'd like an app more than a web version that I can only see using Mull. Vivaldi and Soul don't log me in. Needs work.

[–] nulluser 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

My understanding is Jerboa is really the only app that sort of works, but it still has issues.

I'm enjoying it so far. Still getting my feet wet and trying to get more comfortable with posting regularly. Reddit made it kinda hard to do so in some subs so this is new to me.

[–] WiredPiano 3 points 2 years ago

Just joined after looking around. Already a daily Mastodon user so I have some idea of how things work and look. Looking forward to starting the Lemmy journey.

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

I barely can figure out how this works here. I use the Jerboa app and I often get the error message "Language not allowed" when trying to reply. Can anyone help me with this?

[–] WandererLagomorph770 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Really good.I'm always had an interest in federation and the potential that brings going forwards, so seeing the site grow is an amazing prospect. I got a bunch sub's setup over on Lemmy.ml but I dunno if I should mirror em here or if it won't be necessary.
