How does one comment here??
Lemmy
Everything about Lemmy; bugs, gripes, praises, and advocacy.
For discussion about the lemmy.ml instance, go to [email protected].
Anyone know if there is an app to use for IOS? I’m trying Mlem and I do like where they are going with the app it just bums me out how often it crashes. Also, I hope the influx of ex-Redditors really helps Lemmy and the Fediverse take off.
The best thing about Lemmy is that it's still so raw. There is so much potential for it to be turned into something really great. Then again, television was once like that, I suppose - so was the internet, now I think about it. Oh well, at least I'm not lurking.
I suspect the convos with the most activity in the next few days will be the ones about how to use Lemmy et al
Super excited to be here, honestly. Really hope this place grows significantly
Being new here I think I'll mostly lurk at first. But here goes my first comment anyways. Looking forward to a growing community.
i just feel so foreign still, then again, everyone does, but it's hard to find the will to interact when you feel foreign, ykwim? like being a stranger at a party, it's all fun and all but it feels pretty hard to just approach a random group of ppl and be like "henlo guys my name is johnathan and i'm here to show u my cat", lmao, but yeah you're right we gotta push it a little bit. no other way to start than by starting.
I am doing my part
I'll wait and see how things go.
I'm trying to not lurk, but it's a hard habit to break
I haven’t been lurking but feel like I should comment here specifically lol
I'm trying to create a community, but the 'create' button just turns into a spinning circle, and nothing happens. I've left that tab open for more than an hour.
So insteat, here's my first comment.
My experience is that when that happens, there is something wrong, but it seems like there is no proper error handling to tell you so it endlessly spins instead. Try giving it a different name or fill in a field you left empty (don't change the language one tho).
Even on lemmy.ml creating a community tends to not take too long. I made communities there because my own instance is country based and I don't want it to look local, but if you add your account on another server (for me the one I'm using now) as moderator you can moderate from there to not use up bandwidth from lemmy.ml.
Why hello I am literally just making this comment so more people see the post. My favourite thing about Fedi is how engagement works entirely different from proprietary social media. People make the Fediverse work, people being people make it such a lovely place!!
Question: If the equivalent Reddit subreddit doesn't exist that we use, should we create it? Or wait for the moderators from Reddit to create it?
Just downloaded and installed Jerboa on my phone. This is me trying to do my part to help out a user-friendly Reddit replacement.
Love it! I lurked a lot on Reddit unless I had very specific questions--I think it's cool having an opportunity to grow a community.
