Asklemmy

Times out quite a lot.

It’s welcoming but confusing. I think there’s two reasons for the latter:

1- Many of us forget how basic Reddit was when we first started using it, and the features we all know and love got added over time and repeatedly refined based on use.

2- Most of us here are because we have been users of incredibly well designed apps crafted by developers with a passion for great UI. If I try using the (new) Reddit site or their default app, I find myself equally confused.

There are still so many changes happening in Lemmy functionality, and as we’ve seen with Mastodon, we will hopefully soon be overwhelmed with great apps.

In the meantime there’s the great community already here and growing. I saw a comment that you can estimate that Reddit has 90% lurkers, 9% commenters, 0.9% posters, and 0.1% “community builders” I think it’s those latter groups who are leading the exodus, which is great news for us and terrible news for whoever ends up owning Reddit.

I'd be interested in navigation shortcuts, similar to RES. J/K to move up and down, X to expand post content. Made it very easy to navigate Reddit. Not sure if that's a thing on Lemmy or not...

I think it does federation better than Mastodon. I think confusion comes from the way ActivityPub decides to do things

I am enjoying it so far. I usually tend to lurk but the community is, as many have said, very welcoming and it creates an atmosphere where it encourages you to contribute (not just with up/downvotes but also comments).

It works nicley for me but a lot of stuff could need QoL updates. Honestly my biggest concern is that this instance (lemmy.ml) will dominate everything else and host every good Community. From what I heard, the old guard on lemmy.ml has certain political believes that I don't share and I have a lot of negative expierence with this kind of people, back on reddit. A little concerned about powermods on lemmy.ml.

I’m enjoying the concept behind the fediverse, and while communities are small right now, they’re eventually gonna get bigger and be more centralized.

I think the UI/UX does need a little more work, but that’ll come with time.

Using lemmy zoomed it in my phone is a nice experience. I see everything. Looks good on my desktop also. Still trying to get a feel for this place

Not a fan of Jerboa, but I realize that it's early days. Hopefully we can get some of the UI people from the 3rd party reddit apps on here to develop a better client.

Feels like this might be the fediverse flavor that sticks with me. I tried mastodon and diaspora, but they didn't stick. Didn't help that I hated Twitter and Facebook.

This feels chill so far. I like it

Confusing. The apparent 'segregation' of instances is difficult to get my head around. The Jerboa app is (understandably) in early days and not that intuitive to use. The layout of the website isn't much better (it wasn't at all obvious how you're suppose to even post stuff, for example). I get that we're all coming in on the 'ground level' here, but the whole set up feels very rough-and-ready. I'll keep an eye on Lemmy to see how things progress but at the moment, honestly, if feels like I'm working against Lemmy/the Fediverse rather than with it.

It's a little confusing, the whole fediverse concept takes some time to learn and understand, but I think I'm getting it. I tried Mastodon before and couldn't get used to/understand it, but lemmy feels more my thing. Given some time, with more people joining and more communities forming, this could be great!

I’ve enjoyed it a lot. There are some stuff that could fit better on screen, like when you look at the communities you’re subscribed to. Also, it would be nice to show your subscribed communities in alphabetical order.

Otherwise, I really enjoy the layout. It’s so simple

It has a ton of potential. I really hope it takes off because even if it doesn't replace Reddit immediately it's good to have another place to communicate with others. I have a tech background so it was fairly easy to figure out. I think once folks get used to it that it will be no more difficult than other social media sites. Mobile users will probably have the hardest time adapting but who knows.

I definitely do agree with the old school vibes, I wasn't really born in that era of the internet, but it really is giving me those vibes.

Overall though, I'm finding it pretty intuitive. Certainly better than other social medias. I've tried tumblr and Twitter, just can't get the hang of them yknow?

I definitely prefer reddits app ui though. But I might just be so used to it anything else just feels weird.

Enjoyable so far. Feel a bit mystified, but it always takes me ages to figure out how to use new things.

Currently messing around with a browser extension to change the appearance and layout, as I had been finding that a bit of a hurdle.

not great. reaching my feed or finding communities requires multiple clicks, like why is the local community selection the default in the community tab, it's just stupid. collapsing comments requires more mouse movement and clicking in a different location every comment because of name length, very dumb. communities are too small and not reliable news aggregators yet, not sure why we couldnt just have subreddits move their culture over and agree of a server, or at least set up bots with RSS feeds from news sites or popular stuff in the mean time. lacks customizability for visuals and usage in general. i'd like to have it autocollapse or autohide posts i've already seen, but now i just see the same threads from 2 days ago. user and community pictures in every post on my frontpage are visually noisy. and more and more issues. the devs definitely need help with creating a reasonable browing experience.

It seems more logically laid out and functioning than Kbin.

I like the idea, but to be honest it feels unpleasant to use. Multiple different communities with the same topic are hosted on different servers, so I have to subscribe on them all if I want to keep track on what is happening. Would be nice to have some "mega community" that would have them all there. Also web client is broken, it feels so bad when my feed is moved down when new fresh post is added on top, this is borderline annoying and unusable> chf

upd: have tried kbin, it seems there they fixed all the annoying parts of lemmy. Great usage experience!
