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

I really like lemmy so far. With such a small community it almost feels like how online forums used to be
Yes! It sorta reminds me of the early days of Reddit ironically. It has a nostalgic charm to it.
Was just saying this to my friend. Big difference is it is auto darkmode and not white like reddit was.
Default dark mode is the sign of a good platform.
I think it’s a sign of youth.
i like that it [at least in the foreseeable future] won’t debut some vomit-ass new design whose only purpose is to make number go up
Honestly not bad. Im using the “Jerboa for lemmy” app and you can change the view settings to your liking. Once i start following “subs” or whatever they are called here it gonna be more or less the same.
Thank you for welcoming us
I’ve been on Reddit for 17 years. Definitely reminds me of when it was a much smaller community.
This is what got me into Mastodon. Federated socials feel like social media from 2010.
It’s superb.
It feels very raw and less curated which I like. It feels more like I’m interacting with people and less like I’m interacting with an algorithm
Or what some mod thinks you should and should not be seeing.
With growth comes moderation
Yup. It’s like web forums circa 98-02 give or take a year or three… It’s very nostalgic 😘
My feelings too. Its why I jumped on so quick. This hopefully lasts a bit but soon the content creators, influencers, marketers and teams will be here to crash the party
Can we guide them into dedicated communities that are filled with response bots to engage with them?
Win win
It reminds me of the Vampirefreaks UI a lot, and I love it.
Yes a similar thing happened on voat, but voat died and it wasn’t just because of the trolls. It was because the only people who commented commented about reddit, it was basically a reddit based forum, and when people got tired of complaining about reddit they just left. Make sure to use this community as much as possible to grow it and keep it this way. Make it a habit to login daily and replace bad habits with this new habit. And 9/10 your favorite community won’t exist here, and I highly encourage you to build it if it doesn’t and then promote it. I am doing that for /c/frugal: https://lemmy.world/c/frugal
I think instead of solely talking about Reddit, people are creating communities based off reddit communities like c/tifu or c/mildlyinfuriating and carrying on as usual so I’m hopeful that the same thing won’t happen to lemmy!
And the reddit blackout is forcing people into the habit of using lemmy. Ideally that habit replaces the old one.
I’m quite lost, and don’t think I fully understand the distributed nature of the various Lemmy instances (if I’m even using those words properly).
I’ll do it like Reddit 10 years ago… wander in, poke around, make a snarky comment or 4 and see where it goes.
Involve more work but this kind of change is for the best. Freedom from the tyranny of corporate greed!
I hate the way the threads are constantly being re-arranged as new ones appear. It makes it much harder to read through them when they keep moving around. There should be a setting to turn that off.
I also don’t like the fact that the search function doesn’t let me select communities until I’ve already done a search. It just keeps resetting back to “All”.

I’ve read that’s actually a known bug that is being actively worked on. It sounds like this should be fixed fairly quickly, with any luck.
Hopefully. I get the feeling that Lemmy is much less mature as a piece of software at the moment than Mastodon was when the Twitter exodus happened.
Yup, definitely seems some polishing is needed. I know the devs are hard at work, and with the huge influx of users more OS devs are likely to jump on board to help out. I suspect the biggest complaints will get ironed out fairly quickly. At least I hope so!
I feel like this can be a really great replacement, but people will need to stick with it and watch it grow. Right now there is not enough content to keep people engaged. It’s mainly just questions confusion. I am really digging the format simplicity of things!
It’s ok. Navigating takes some getting used to and the lower content and engagement so far is a bummer. Hopefully it will take off though. A mobile app at some point would be nice.
At first I thought it would be much more complicated to join and use than it really is. I really like the concept but the platform still feels pretty janky, needs polishing and some QoL features that are currently missing and hopefully we will also get some awesome mobile apps. Overall it’s very promising and I hope it will get adopted widely.
Try Jerboa. Using it now and for being in alpha pretty solid.
I’ve been getting a feel for Jerboa today. It’s nice.
One thing I’m having trouble with: When a reply to a comment shows up in my inbox, I don’t see a simple way to respond. I’ve been going into the thread and finding it manually.
Do you, or does anyone else, know if there’s an easier way to respond from the inbox?
I might be overlooking something very obvious…
Yeah. That’s my one complaint too. Otherwise it’s pretty great 😃
It’s… OK. I’ve actually been thinking about doing a native app myself because losing some of the quality of life features from the reddit apps I love are the reason I’m pissed off with reddit in the first place. Luckily the lemmy api is easy to work with and if needed you can always host your own lemmy instance.
It’s more clunky but not unbearably so. Once Jerboa gets more features it’ll be a lot better. I miss swiping back, having to use the back button sucks.
I’m a big fan of the fact that you can sort by both Activity and also Hot.
That seems ripe to create a neat way for communities to organize, because you can either make your groups into a more Reddit-styled combination of both new/score or alternatively, allows people to run almost like an old school forum where the most recently used threads are filtered back up to the top.
Intended or not, really cool feature, and I hope it stays.

Guys, it’s wild. Let’s go.
I like it here. Even with all the bugs, the interface is clean, the community is very nice. I actually like to engage more here on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit. I hope that stays.
It seems comfy. I’m skeptical of the UI and UX for the website and the app (even jeroba) but I came from reddit boost which is absolutely a phenomenal experience. I hope this evolves and improves in these ways
Community feels more welcoming. I hope it continues to grow exponentially, because it’ll need it to work!
The more I use it, the happier I am. I’m an old geezer who was tinkering with computers way back when 8K was an outrageous amount of RAM. This reminds me of why I became a geek to begin with.
