Hey! This post is not specifically related to the lemmy.world instance. From now on, posts such as these will be removed, in order for the community to stay on topic. However, as this is a highly upvoted post, I'll just lock it for now.

    Now I do the same thing I've always done,

    Lurk and never contribute any content!

    I'll try to change i swear

    Start posting, chatting and contributing! I'm trying to be active here myself.

    I don't like modding, but I've even created my own community here, which is saying a lot given how lazy I am.

    And while I'm at it, i hope you don't mind a shoutout to my new community, maliciouscompliance - recreated this as it was one of my favorite places to lurk on reddit!

    Voting on content and interact in the comments is a lot easier than making posts and it's still really helpful towards building vibrant thriving communities here.

    If you have a sub you like that you think you could contribute to via posts, that would be awesome! But even just taking the time to throw your votes around does a lot (especially with fewer users)

    Seems pretty similar to Reddit to me, besides the whole decentralised nature which is a plus anyway

    What are people complaining about?

    Alongside that more reasonable point of individual features, alot of people are mad that the service is instance based and are angry that that there isn't a single iteration of communities, IE only one /c/aww or /c/vets or whatever.

    Basically they fled a central organizational authority and got mad there's no central organizational authority.

    This is a steep learning curve and confusing. It would be helpful to get some orientation after landing

    Lemmy.world has a little guide. I totally understand there being a learning curve, I'm IT so don't have much trouble but I get that people are flocking from "just works" land and most people have zero idea how any tech works.

    My problem isn't people struggling to learn how this different system works, my problem is people who come HERE instead of one of the available more direct Reddit clones then refusing to learn how this system works, bitching that it isn't Reddit, and start harping that the devs need to make it Reddit. If you just want New Reddit, that option is available. A couple, in fact. Lemmy got some buzz though and people want to be cool kids, instead of picking the more suitable option for them. Shit's frustrating to me as a user, and I feel for the devs who have been working on this specific vision for this project then just wake up to 1,000 "MAKE IT REDDIT I WANT EVERYTHING ON ONE INSTANCE CAUSE I'M USED TO IT" posts.

    Rant aside, I'm no Lemmy expert but if you have questions about how things work, I'll do my best to help.

    If you go to the areas where people are suggesting features, it's almost 100% "please implement my personal favorite feature from my personalized Reddit experience."

    Now, I'm going to say that wanting the features you found useful in your old social media is a perfectly reasonable desire, but it's the Dev's job to make sure all the feature and UI changes are self-consistent and not overload for the user. So, naturally a bunch of requests are going to have to be ignored, at least for the time being.

    Yeah, I feel this. I wont make communities since I'm not the moderator type. But I will make an effort to post which in my case is a step up since I mostly lurk.

    Easy, looking for information I will still use reddit, for now. But for posting new information I will use Lemmy.

    What would be nice is if 90% of posts were not just about Reddit.

    Lemmy seems somewhat confusing to those who rarely or never used Fediverse (myself also rarely use Mastodon tho), but after I short while I get the hang of it tho. My instance is at lemmy.world, Its UI after a time trying is quite unstable; for example, a post's karma is fluctuating at time, sometimes from over 1k drop down to negative, and upvotes aren't recognized until you reload the page,...

    This can be the beginning of something great.

  • [โ€“] 14 points 3 years ago

    Now we take the challenge to explore the world unknown and create quality content or initiate conversations...

    Or we can just lurk again. Either way, Lemmy's fun so far! Also created our own instance that will hopefully help our friends understand the Fediverse better.

    Eh, we'll get there. just have to wait for the community to grow and develop all the content again.

    I was largely a lurker over there, and my immediate instinct is to do the same here. But also a new website will only work if there's content and activity...

    I'm enjoying it so far, though it's gonna take some getting used to. The Android app isn't bad, either.

    It takes a little getting used to but I'm liking it more and more. Even with it's quirks.
