This question is especially for people who have joined in the last week. Have you used other fediverse platforms or is this your first time really using one? What do you think of it so far? Are you aware that you can comment on Lemmy posts with a Mastodon account?
Finding communities is more confusing, and knowing the difference at a glance between instances is not clear. Now you need to know if the instance and the community are what you are looking for. You also could end up on an instance that blocks other instances or communities, so those could be hidden from you.
Most of that is growing pains I think. People will eventually settle into communities that fit their interests. My biggest concern is with scale and whether or not these federated servers can handle tens of millions of visitors. I don’t fully understand the underlying tech, but it seems like the servers are already struggling across the board.
Are you on the website or Jerboa? I think most of the complaints people are having are with Jerboa and not Lemmy itself, as finding communities is just as easy as on reddit for me on the website.
I’m on the website. Trying out desktop and mobile site, and both are a bit difficult to search on. But part of that is the bit of jank that I’m experiencing, where new posts load and make the page jump around.
yeah I have the same issue with the new posts but what is hard about finding communities? I just click the communities tab and search for the topic I want under All and then others I find on the front page under all. It’s the same way I did with reddit, that’s why im confused with people saying this.
