For me the environment is a little complex, too many options, but that in itself maybe what is keeping it nice, users need some idea about what they are doing and how they use it.

Have tried all the IOS apps, each has a specific advantage, but not all in one app.

I guess this is very early days for the bulk of Lemmy instances/apps etc. and it’ll take time to evolve.

I prefer it over reddit for the same reason - everyone is much nicer. The fact that it's so much smaller means that I'm not just staring at an endless feed, expecting to be entertained without participating.

It's also giving me good reason to get back into other hobbies and stop wasting so much time online, which can only be a good thing.

I guess it’s often about ease of use. so If it needs thought, then a lot will walk away and not bother. That in itself does imply capability, which I suspect in this day of everything needing to be equal, might cause some issues for some.

I’d suspect that most here, have some good technical ability, so it might be a hassle to get organised, but we’ll sort it.

The relaxed and friendly atmosphere here is wonderful, long may it continue.

I encourage you (or anyone reading) to ask questions if you're having trouble with something. I would be surprised if there's someone not having trouble! But by helping each other we can all learn together.

In the daily post is an ok place to ask, otherwise we also have !support!support@lemmy.nz.
