Honestly, it might not be a great thing just yet. I feel like Lemmy is struggling under the influx, it's just not ready usability wise. When I tapped on the link to this comment section, I got a weird Latter Day Saints post until I reloaded. There's so, so many things like that and I'm deeply worried it's going to give people a bad impression.

Then again...it's not like they have anywhere else to go...

This was always going to be a mess at first, no question, but I'm worried it will get messy to the point Lemmy starts cracking.

It just further drives home the point that people got way to comfortable using one or two sites. We need to get into the habit of having multiple sites and alternatives again, or this is going to happen every time the "new big thing" goes to shit.

Kbin works like a dream except for the occasional server error.

I love kbin’s UI. It’s awesome that we can be on lemmy, but on a site we prefer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yep the UI is excellent for my needs. It looks great and is easy to interact with. There are a few nooks and crannies for settings which I imagine will throw a few new users off but it appeals to my 'learn by clicking random buttons' nature.

I’ve actually been really enjoying the mobile site. I hope we’ll get an Apollo-style app one day, but the mobile site is pretty damn good for how new kbin is

Funny you should say that I actually literally just started a magazine which I'm beginning to fill with basic mobile UI tips for those who just want to get going: m/quickstart
