I'm confused yet intrigued

i'm just excited that i was able to make an account... lemmy.ml didn't want me. anyway, i'm just here to browse and see what i find.

Digging it so far. Some technical issues but I think they may just be due to the mobile app I am using (sometimes when I open a post, the comments displayed are the ones from the last post I looked at). But it feels much more.. Democratic? Than reddit did.

So far, so good. Jerboa does it for me on my phone. I hope sole of the reddit third parties(looking at you infinity) will cross the gap to Lemmy.

Happy to be here :)

This place feels like it could be a good alternative. Once I learn more about how to use it. Looking forward to a new start!

It looks like the original internet. Love it

Initially I was pretty confused as to how Lemmy worked but if you take like 5-10 minutes to just look around it all kinda just clicks. Looking forward to something new here.

I have finally managed to create an account, so do we have CSS like original reddit? Other then that lemmy seems pretty cool

I’m excited for a new experience. I only commented about 5 times my entire time on Reddit and I hoping to interact more here.

I find this website extremely confusing. A beginners guide would be good.

I'm a big fan of it. The website is great and I'm thankful that I can interact with posts and comments on other servers. I think for most people's adoption the picking of a server to join is intimidating because there are so many options.

To draw more users it needs to be made abundantly clear that you can interact across servers.

A bit uncomfortable with the UI and stuff, as I am an old.reddit user, I like to consume content in my comfortable way. I normally do not tend to have issues with UI changes, but reddit was extremely comfortable in that mode. I will however try my best to get used to this, as I'd do anything to avoid Reddit from now on.

Really happy to be here - would love it if this place worked out. What's the best way to ensure that we get folks moving over?

Question: is the "lag" from hitting the post button to seeing the post intentional or is that just a sign of stressed servers?

Honestly struggling a bit. Finding the communities for my interests was very easy on Reddit, kinda having a hard time here.

Finding my feet, but it all seems pretty straightforward. It will be good to see how these communities develop and mature...

It'll take some time to get used to this and learn how to properly use this, but I'm happy to have this community. :)

I'm a little confused, but cautiously optimistic. It took a while to sign up and log in, but I got that far, so I guess I can work out the rest too! As a bit of a Reddit lurker, I'm out of my comfort zone, but committed to upvoting and commenting to help build the community!

Excited to see how this pans out! Really enjoying it so far.

It's good so far; a few UX/UI issues need polishing, some more display options would be nice too.

The whole issue of community@instance is going to take some getting used to for people, and it's not clear how that's going to shake out in the long run. I'm not yet certain whether this will become my default space, but I'm willing to give it a go.

Hello! Looks nice, I realize it will probably take some time to get used to, but I hope the community will grow. I mod a sub on Reddit and we are thinking about a blackout in protest, in any case it would be cool to set up shop here in the fediverse :)

The Jerboa app though could use with some improvements to navigate the different communities.

Feels like being back on old forums again :) I think I'll like it here

It takes a little getting used to, but I like it!

Honestly I'm glad that reddit is going down the tubes. It's time for a change.

Is there an easier way to find communities on other instances? I wish I could browse another instance as if it were "local" to organically find more communities.

I like the website. I like the idea. I like lack of advertising and hyper-paranoia and consumer algorithms.

What I don't like is some of the devs describing themselves as 'communists' and 'anarchists.'

Extremism is never a good look, and the fact that Lemmys founders are... Definitely tickling that dragons tail is concerning to me

Just got here since Apollo is going away and I won’t use Reddit’s app. Not sure I quite get how it works yet, so can’t say how I like it so far. Gotta play around with it a bit. Are there any apps for this yet?

I'm still tapping the spot where RIF used to be, going to take some time to move on.
