I'm enjoying the discovery phase a lot more than I did with Mastodon, which I've largely abandoned now. It still has a way to go but it's fun seeing it grow.
Not gonna lie it was really confusing to begin with, even with a guide. Partially because I dropped by kbin first.
I'm a cat and currently I'm loafing in a corner of the room on my own cushion.
Translation: I am enjoying the peaceful moment looking at people doing their things here.
Just fine. Spent last week editing all my comments with PDS. On Monday, I deleted my account and I'm only here so far.
Social media in general has been shit. Not that they ever were very good, but it seems to be worse.
I'm honest, I still don't get the universe concept. I am going on the site via feddit, which is the German version, I guess? If I want to see everything, I need to go to lemmy.world? If I get an app for it, what would it route me to?
It should be fine after a while if people stay here, but for now it's still in its infancy when it comes to user friendliness, I think.
My biggest pain point right now is the bugs. I tried posting a rather long reply to something and got a "Beehaw is down for maintenance" message. I'm not sure if it was the instance or my app (Connect), but I ended up losing the post.
Having said that, I really am enjoying my time here. People seem nice and welcoming, and engagement is good. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress.
Pretty damn confusing. So far Iβm not liking it. I canβt find the type of subs I followed on Reddit and yeah idk man
I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche "Communities" (as Lemmy generically calls them).
I need my subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I'll probably fully abandon Reddit.
just joined and iβm happy to be here! using wefwef as i miss apollo a lot.
Quite well. It motivated me to build my own Lemmy client and it makes me enjoy Lemmy a lot more!
I haven't been able to find an answer for this, so here goes... How many accounts on different instances does everyone have?
I have three and have started subscribing to different stuff to try and curate my experience (I'm missing multi-reddits), but I'm not sure what's the optimal experience as my all timelines often show very similar content on each account
Been using Thunder through Test Floght and itβs been pretty nice. Iβm sure with time itβll get better and more populated but I donβt mind the calm right now.
I like it but still dealing with a bit of a learning curve. I expected some glitches and slow downs so that hasn't really bothered me. Looking forward to watching the platform evolve and take shape as I learn more.
I am using one of the top iPhone apps, that is openly being feverishly upgraded, and wow do I still miss Apollo.
Lemmy is OK, just not a lot of niche subs yet. If there were more people active here it would be fine.
It's good. It has the pre-Digg.com migration vibe that early Reddit had. Niche communities are hard to get started, but that's to be expected.
Lots of positivity.
Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.
Enjoying it so far I think. It's hard to say. Smaller, less content, some of the things I followed haven't made the jump(and I don't have enough time on my hands to help jump start them).
Been using my phone a lot less to doomscroll, and other nonsense so I'vr had more time to work on some hobby projects and such.
Overall though it feels like a good replacement.
