doesn't hurt my eyes, looks just as good as old.reddit, now just hopefully reddit can hurry up kick the bucket.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™m excited for a new experience. I only commented about 5 times my entire time on Reddit and I hoping to interact more here.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

First post, liking what I'm seeing so far! Appreciate that signup here was quick/easy, had some issues on other instances.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I really like the UI. The sign up process was a little rough though. The idea of the different servers and signing up via those servers was a little jarring at first.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Couldn't agree more. I actually signed up on a difference instance a couple days ago, but never got a confirmation email or anything and thought I just had to wait for a manual process. (the instance had me answer questions they said were needed to be answered to join) I got tired of waiting and didn't know how to message anyone about it, so I just signed up here. It was super quick and easy, but the overall process is confusing for sure. Excited for the platform though, I think once you get past the learning curve it's very promising.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, Lemmy does have a rather steep learning curve, but once you are past it the platform does seem very promising as a reddit replacement.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Reddit was known to have a steep learning curve as well. Weโ€™ll get there.

Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

I'm a big fan of it. The website is great and I'm thankful that I can interact with posts and comments on other servers. I think for most people's adoption the picking of a server to join is intimidating because there are so many options.

To draw more users it needs to be made abundantly clear that you can interact across servers.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Iโ€™m liking it a lot, so far!

Thanks! It looks more like a Discourse forum than Reddit. I'll reserve judgment for now but after so many companies took their own platform usage we need something like this more than ever.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

i'm just excited that i was able to make an account... lemmy.ml didn't want me. anyway, i'm just here to browse and see what i find.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I feel like I'm back in the best part of the early-mid 00s, when the entire internet was running on phpbb or some random local social networks with 500 users. I missed those, glad to be back in the new, hopefully better, interpretation of those times. Overall, it's quite nostalgic here. โค๏ธ

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Just deleted all past activity from my reddit account, deactivated it and joined you marry bunch. Glad to be here.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is my first comment here, hope I'm doing it right!

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Digging it so far. The only thing that I have noticed, and this may just be due to the large influx of people coming to the site, it's been taking literal minutes for me to submit a post or edit my profile

The old Reddit Hug of Death is slowing down the server

How is the federation supposed to work regarding logins? I made my initial account on lemmy.world but I'm unable to login and subscribe to communities on other federated servers. I presumed the primary server I setup on would allow me to subscribe and comment on communities on other servers?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks for having us! I'm excited to try this out. I am only just trying to figure out how all of this works.

I have subscribed to several communities now, but when I go to the main page, I still see the generic content that was there before I logged in. How do I view a feed of just the communities I have subscribed to (analogous to the front page on reddit)

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There should be a button to view subscribed communities at the top along with local instance communities and all known communities. You can change the default in the settings.
