A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm trying to like it, but it's hard. It doesn't quite scratch the doom scrolling itch like Reddit did. I'm using Jerboa and it's missing a lot of features that I relied heavily on with Relay. Ultimately I'm just going to have to adapt though because it looks like Reddit isn't backing down and I'm not going to use the official app.
In good news, I always hated my Reddit username so it's nice to finally get to change it lol.
Really liking it so far. I joined Mastodon a couple of months back and like it there too. It's a shame because I spent most of my social media time scrolling Reddit, but I'm sure the Fediverse is going to get there.
Wish it was easier to subscribe to communities. For some reason It hangs when I try to. But its still ongoing development so I expect bugs. Hopefully it gets fleshed out soon.
Pretty impressed for the most part! A few tech hiccups (that feel like growing pains more than anything) and of course always looking for the amount of content I'm used to from Reddit, but I expect both those to change!
Touch and feel is comfortable (if I can remember to middle-click links so I don't keep closing Lemmy tab), communities are growing, framework looks robust. My only concern is that if I ever move from one server to another (if I decide to self-host), it appears I'll need to manually rebuild all of my subscriptions which sounds painful.
So far there has been a bit of a learning curve. Still trying to learn how to find communities and navigate everything. Hopefully the more people that join the greater the content that will be available.
As for the experience, I wish there were more options for customizing the look apart from dark/light. Options like font size, etc.
I like that it's more similar to old.reddit.com. Already use mastodon, so federation is not a new concept for me (I'm sure a lot of people are still getting their heads around that).
The community is much smaller, but that's to be expected (and maybe a good thing). I miss the feeling of find super-niche hobby subreddits. But I guess those will come to Lemmy if/when the userbase grows.
PS: also, had no idea what sizz was. Looks cool. Is there a new home for it here?
It's cool, but the community needs to grow.
