Technology

Uncomfortable. There are two or three users in the instances, and all are silent. "Federalization" is dumb, for the chuckleheads of decentralization. The app and website are crude. Settings are not saved, blocked content hangs in the feed.

I think it's nice so far, though I haven't used it much. There are some communities on Reddit that I miss on Beehaw. I also check Raddle (not fediverse) for trans memes since r/traa users have moved there. ~Cherri

In spite of the technical issues and mild learning curve, I am really enjoying Lemmy more and more as I continue using it.

Why dont you move all your content from r/Sizz to lemmy?

Compared to old.reddit + RES there's still some space for improvement in terms of UX for lemmy but overall, not too bad :P

Any decent (or established I guess ) iOS mobile clients? I’m messing with mlem but it seems pretty basic and is still using TestFlight. It’s usable but a more full featured client might be nice

not enough videos, too slow and jerboa is not top notch .

Difficult.

I just found a post - which I wanted to add a comment to - but I'm now logged in with Lemmy.world - so when I opened that comment (link) in a new tab, I'm told that I can either log in, or subscribe here (copy/search !technology@beehaw.org) which now shows 'Subscribe Pending'.

So basically, communication isn't being facilitated in this instance - this is a huge barrier. If a connection, or subscription is required to reply, then this needs to be automatic.

The UI's a little janky, search doesn't always produce clickable links (mostly federated subs).

Finding subs relies on lemmyverse, when it should be integrated into the sites.

Similar subs should federate together, not be siloed. More USENET, less phpbb.

Kbin has a strange division of threads and "magazines", which means clicking thru multiple places to read anything, Lemmy & Beehaw seem simpler.

Looks neat, but I need a ELI5 on the instances/Fediverse/how it works in general (Looking at YT videos right now).
Also I miss the "hide all child comments" I had on reddit (or was it RES?).
Oh, and I'm open to android app suggestions :) I'm using "Now for Reddit" for reddit.

I like the idea of it, but it's janky as hell.

I hope in the near future some of the nuances will be more clearly explained to new users such as how to search for external communities.

I wish the UI was more dense like old.reddit.

these are minor complaints though and I know the contributors weren't building lemmy in anticipation of the API exodus.

I like it! Sure, some rough edges, and a bit of technical difficulties due to the influx of Reddit refugees like me, but this seems like a much friendlier, more real community.

I love it. Lemmy seems to be a solid implementation so far, it was easy to set up and seems stable and efficient. More than that, I LOVE the distributed nature of everything. I believe that this federated protocol will be infinitely more resilient to the whims of individuals acting only in their own interests.

There are some desperately needed features to make the dream come true though. The ability to effortlessly migrate users, communities, and content between instances on the fediverse I think will be essential to securing the future of this platform. I hope someone is working on it and that a standard method is adopted by the large projects in the space.

There's also the challenge of discoverability, but that is also somewhat of the thrill to me. I remember when you had to work to find communities online and this very much brings back those memories. I get so excited when a user from a small, distant instance interacts with my own instance as I get another thread to follow into new and potentially awesome corners of the fediverse. I think as that particular nuance of this platform becomes better understood by users at large we will see all sorts of new interactions (both positive and negative I'm sure!).

I'm excited to be here for it.
