I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of
Yeah, I’m enjoying it outside of the small bugs. They’re not breaking the platform so I can live with them until they’re smoothed out. But the smaller communities are kind of a nice change of pace to be honest, it’s definitely like old Reddit before it got a case of the capitalisms. Terminal case, unfortunately.
But with the decentralized nature of it, we don’t have to worry about that happening again!
I really like the new style of interactions, even though I do currently miss the hundreds of thousands of funny/dumb comments some posts had (hoping that will happen eventually though)
I like Lemmy a lot! I’m gonna stick around :)
i like the minimal look as it mirrors my RES and old.r settings. I would like the ability to stretch the pages out to fill in the empty voids of my 1440 window though. At the moment it looks like Lemmy was built on a mobile portrait view only.
So far, so good. The official Android app needs work but the desktop site works well. Deleted Reddit and not looking back.
It took a solid couple days to wrap my head around how things work, where posts are coming from and how to find communities I’m interested in. I’m nervous that’s going to be just enough of a barrier that folks will say forget it when trying it out.
Otherwise it’s a refreshing take. Really wish there was an iOS app you could find in the App Store. All I find is mastodon apps.
There’s some massive UI onboarding issues, but the community here is wayyyy better than reddit imo. Without a framework of understanding, it’s hard to figure out what server to join, how subscriptions work across instances, etc. My current understanding is if I like lemmy.world the most, I am just going to search communities from other instances I like and subscribe to it on my profile here. At least, that’s what I’ve been doing.
At first I thought it would be much more complicated to join and use than it really is. I really like the concept but the platform still feels pretty janky, needs polishing and some QoL features that are currently missing. Hopefully we will also get some awesome third party mobile apps. Overall it’s very promising and I hope it will get adopted widely.
Using Mastodon for years now, I’m familiar with the structure and liking it. But I’m afraid most of the smaller subreddits that I followed won’t migrate here.
Other than the random communist extremists, I like it, but I hope this place doesnt turn into the next Voat as I have a strong feeling it will.
How do I know if this instance is good? I just joined Lemmy.world because it was the first in the discovery page, but I’m not sure if this is an extremist server or not
I’m not sure either but it seems mostly fine other than the vocal minority. I assume if this instance gets a lot of people from reddit they will be squashed out but time will tell.

Voat people will have their own instances and their own communities. Which you don’t have to participate in.
That doesnt prevent them people from making alt accounts. On reddit I had like 6, with the multiple instances here I imagine thats way more common.
So? What prevented them from making alt accounts on reddit and other corporate media?
Moderation, right?
They didn’t? I said that in my comment I had 6 accounts. With the federated instances its way more likely for people to have multiple accounts. I already have 2 and I have been here 2 days.
Right my point is, why do you care if they make alt accounts? It’s the behavior that’s moderated.
my point is these guys are extremists and all they care about is forcing their viewpoint and belifes on others and find joy in when it makes them mad, thats how these people work. So if this site is full of them then the site is shit.
I think that’s the thing you’re not getting. This isn’t a site. It’s a federation of independent networks, each with their own rules.
Have you seen any of that around? I haven’t.
That’s usually my fear with the fediverse. Whenever I step on mastodon.social, 2/3 of the front page is ultra left memes and talking point. I mostly want to talk tech and sport, not read about culture wars. It’s been hard to escape the crazy politics, and so far lemmy.world seems to have a lot of communities focused on other topics which is very welcome
Creating sublemmies hangs forever it seems. I was able to create one on day one of the reckoning, but not anymore.
Also, I thought Lemmy was broken but for whatever reason it performs badly in Firefox but Chrome works okay. I don’t like this because I hate Chrome/Google but it isn’t clear what the issue is in Firefox. I have NoScript, Ublock, etc. there so likely plugins
It is like wild west here and I like it!
I’m still getting used to this and there’s not much activity yet, but I’ll stick with it. Reddit isn’t worth it, so I’m happy there’s a chance for an alternative.
@WallCactus @SpezCanLigmaBalls Give it a good Day. Follow good communities stay on and you will get the hang of it. Just like when you first started using Reddit
I quite like the super-minimal interface design of fedia.io. I’m excited to see where this all goes.

Ahaha thanks
