I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

Its pretty decent, pleasantly surprised. I needed to get over the fediverse jargon after that smooth sailin'. Feels goood

[–] Myriadblue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Also trying tildes, but lemmy seems more like what I'm looking for. Like the ui!

[–] AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I joined Reddit seventeen years ago because of Aaron Swartz’s involvement. Lemmy feels more like someplace Swartz would have liked than Reddit ever did.

The page is jumping around some on Safari for iPad, but I'm sticking with it for now.

[–] brawleryukon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I'd really prefer to have the option to make it look/feel like old.reddit. The biggest reason I'm off reddit right now is because I'm concerned the third-party appsassination is going to make them think they can kill off old.reddit, too. Coming over here where it's just aping new.reddit kinda defeats the purpose.

[–] ConditionOverload@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not speaking of app features, only thing missing are people... Which is a problem that will fix itself as time goes on and more people migrate to Lemmy.

[–] pineapplelover 3 points 2 years ago

Slow at times but it's improving little by little with more contributors and development.

[–] Saturdaycat@reddthat.com 3 points 2 years ago

I LOVE the interface here

[–] dyma@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

frontend is bootstrap as fuck lol, but it does the job

[–] 7749LlamaDrama@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

My first hour here...gonna take a little getting used to but I like it so far. Much as I was addicted to reddit, a change is probably a good thing. I'm gonna really miss my saved posts once I delete them though

[–] Thirdnipple79@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I think there's a lot of room for enhancing the user experience, but it's definitely not bad. This will come in time.

I feel like the content and discussion is a bit more mature than reddit. This is the main reason I will stay here.

I dont really like UI, its one of the things that will make me go back to Reddit

Signed up today, liking it a lot. Looking forward to learning more about it, seems like a viable reddit alternative.

[–] juusukun@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago (4 children)

All I'm missing right now is sorting (comments at least) by new, top or best etc

The registration process for an account is annoying: Having to look into email and having to explain how you are not a bot ... I guess? Also I can not imagine this scale well, if every registration request is checked by a human. Is there no better solution?

It's been pretty fun! I'm looking forward to what's to come!

[–] Veni_Vidic_Vici@vlemmy.net 3 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I hope there is some way to implement something like streamable/imgur/redgifs on lemmy. I don't mind if it's these services if fediverse alternatives aren't there yet.

They form the backbone of content creation, from Porn to highlight clips of sports subreddits.

Other than the random communist extremists, I like it, but I hope this place doesnt turn into the next Voat as I have a strong feeling it will.

It's a little buggy here and there and needs some UI improvement, but once I finish setting up my account and subscribe to communities it's quite good. Being able to search and subscribe to communities from both Local Server and All Servers within Lemmy should be made more clear for new users, as they normally use search bar to search for eveything.

I initially try to access Lemmy and comment posts from my Mastodon account. I can paste Lemmy post url to search bar in Mastodon, hit enter and the post will appear. But it's like parsing a Reddit post and its comment to a Twitter one, it's not the same experience, so I have to create a Lemmy account. I guess it is great if you want to promote something within Fediverse

[–] Markimus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's interesting.

I'm not sure on the interface, though I'm sure I'll get used to it. 😅

[–] angrylittlekitty@lemmy.one 3 points 2 years ago

i'm loving it! it scratches the itch without the reddit ick 🤣

[–] nullthegrey@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago

I quite like the super-minimal interface design of fedia.io. I'm excited to see where this all goes.

[–] generalpotato@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Loving it. It’s clunky, sure, but honestly, it’s fine given how much work it takes to get something like this to work well at scale. Things will evolve and I’m sure instancing, finding communities, mobile app etc etc, will all get figured out. Once there’s enough momentum in usage, that’ll naturally become the driving force behind a lot of the work that needs to happen.

I’m just glad that we already have the user base and passion behind an alternative. I’m more than happy with not having the volume, but having the quality of what contributed to reddit, i.e. the people. In the meantime, please be sure to donate folks.

[–] gerbrand@fedia.io 3 points 2 years ago

I was barely active on reddit, and very new to kbin/lemmy and I like the until now. I am pretty active on mastodon, I can see the added value.

[–] Gort@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Getting a bit more used to it after some hours of use. Using the site is mostly self-explanatory, especially if you're used to Reddit, Discord and Mastodon. Looks promising.

[–] WaffleFriends@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I do see a lot of potential but there are some issues I'm facing. For some reason, I'm unable to login to lemmy.world from my phone. There's not a whole lot of content but I'm expecting that to change. It's very nice here, overall.
