Technology

I like it in general and think it has a chance to stay, however I feel it needs a bunch more work than Mastodon, which works close to a full release, except the oddity the Elk Alpha client doesn't have a report button, but is better than the default.

I joined a Lemmy instance first (infosec.pub) but joined fedia when I found out about it this morning. Overall, I'm finding kbin much more responsive, better UI, and easier to grasp concepts and searching is definitely easier.

I'm hoping some of the developers of the third party Reddit apps shift their apps to Lemmy/kbin.

I've tried @mlemapp and it's definitely a good start, but a long way to polished. I'm excited to see it's growth and development.

I like it so far. The tech seems good, it's not that hard to wrap your head around the federated aspect, but as always the life and death of a platform like this is in the community. If a decent amount of people decide to come to Lemmy, I think it will be great.

It's been fun playing on lemmy and interacting with everyone so far. I just started up my own instance so I can leverage this fediverse thing and decentralize. Honestly having a blast with it all. The downfall of Reddit seems beneficial to all of us : )

I can’t get mlem to work, so I’m forced to use the web mobile interface, which isn’t ideal. But that’s a problem of having habits and expectations ingrained for a decade of using specific apps.

Uptime of different servers I’ve tried has been spotty. Pair that with the natural growing pains of my more niche subreddits being my more active ones and I’m struggling to find them here…

It’s been a rough day. I want to believe in the potential, but just like with mastodon - federated solutions need to really work on onboarding. It’s helpful that we’re getting large populations due to the lack of ability to access reddit, which Mastodon struggled with. But things still feel chaotic and I don’t know that getting things drilled down to a well curated list of communities will feel as well put together as it did on reddit.

Here from a kbin instance. I’d say I’m intrigued by the fediverse so far, don’t find it too onerous to use personally. Time will tell as to whether enough tech-savy Reddit users make the crossover to create the community experiences that would keep me active here.

I like the jerboa app on mobile but I dislike the desktop site layout. I've used Shine for Reddit for years for the grid layout. I'm hoping someone will eventually release custom layouts to make use of all the space on desktop. The content is about the same after subscribing to lots of communities.

Jerboa made a huge progress in a short time with the wave of attention Lemmy is getting. I'm liking Lemmy a lot more than rexxit.

Hope most moderators stay there and we get fresh moderation here. (Not sure how were you as moderator, but I had lots of bad experiences)

Luckily some communities I enjoyed there are already here, like Foss, android, linux, open source, Nintendo.

Would love to see many of my subreddits here. (Maybe maybe maybe, specialized tools, unexpected, unixporn, kdeporn, to name a few)

It's pretty cool, Rick.

So far I've mostly used jerboa. It's a usable app, and a good starting point. That said, from a UI/UX perspective, it does seem to be missing a lot of quality of life features that were in Reddit apps.

Overall Lemmy seems like a decent Reddit replacement and I'm sure it will only improve with time.

Moved from Twitter to Mastodon in November. I spend less time on Mastodon than I did on Twitter but I feel much less anxious afterwards.

Lemmy has lots of potential and I'm excited for it. Even started a community for my city (Oakland).

It's not very active. If it doesn't improve in 3 month I'll leave

Reddit refugee here. I like it so far! Really dig the federation between the instances.

I was a subscriber of r/Sizz, I hope a lot of niche communities like that will pop up on lemmy.
