Asklemmy

My self-hosted instance seems to be working well, but I can'tfiguree out how to federate with other platforms such as mastodon.

I guess we'll figure it out at some point.

Well, i've created account on sopuli.xyz,had some fun, and now it's unreachable.

I've got a bit confused on how these comunities work. With you needing to register in specific comunity. I'm not sure if I'm able to see all posts, or if I'm just seeing stuff from comunity that I joined in. Also because I was confused with the comunity system here, I accidentaly cursed myself to being a furry for no reason, and everyone will know that. Grrrreat.

I'm starting to understand how all of the individual Lemmy servers are connected and it's awesome. Understanding how Lemmy is fundamentally different than something like Reddit makes me very appreciative. I think something like Lemmy is the natural future as corporations continue to try to milk the wallets of the average person.

Maybe I just haven't come across it yet, but I'd like to make threads left-aligned and everything smaller (text, thumbnails etc.)

it's nice, but we need more content and more 3rd party mobile apps, i mean Jerboa is nice, but many of us are used to their favorite reddit app

A bit tougher than Reddit but so far so good.

So far it is mostly fine, but confusing at times. Especially navigating and finding things. But so was reddit in the begining.

Besides this, there are a lot of communities missing. I hope there is a way to extract post-histories from subreddit so we don't loose the accumulated knowledge. Especially for troubleshooting and programming, reddit it a valuable source. I hope we will keep those and transition to lemmy (or another alternative) smoothly

It reminds me of old reddit, so I'm pretty happy with it. I hope we aren't going to completely ruin whatever the Lemmy old guard had going on, though.

so far it’s pretty ok and i’m quite hopeful for its future. the layout reminds me of reddit so it’s not particularly confusing to use… like someone else said, i hope the customisation improves. i’m a bit confused about the different servers though (what’s the difference between beehaw/lemmy/shitjustworks/etc? will i be able to access all of them if i signed up at beehaw?…) i’m not very tech savvy so perhaps somebody could eli5. i’m hopeful though!

My biggest gripe is that there isn't a working Lemmy iOS app in my region, yet.

I have spotty metered mobile internet connection, and while the web app is lightweight enough, it requires the downloading of page structures each time and it adds up after a while.

I do hope we'll eventually get high-quality apps to interface with the fediverse, much like Apollo with Reddit.

It's generally ok. Though its tougher to use than reddit. To be honest I really wish that it did a better job of merging similar communities or something like that?

Like almost like a multi-reddit of cats to include all cats communities with dedups.. similar idea for other categories.

It's good. Except for the confusion about linking to communities on different servers. That's a real show stopper, if you ask me. Which you did, technically.

Just signed up a few minutes ago. I honestly really like it so far. I was never into Twitter but I did try out mastodon and just couldn't get used to the look of everything. It was also confusing to sign up. So far Lemmy has been great. I am surprised how many active users there are. I was worried it would be super dead.

edit: spelling

this app I'm using is pretty bad (no offense to the dev) but once there's better ones on the market I'm sure the experience will be more enjoyable

I'm not a fan of the whole wordnews ppl banning anti-CCP/anti-russian content tho
