Liking it so far!! Especially the spirit, kinda throws back to the mid 2000s

Pretty cool to see. I'm excited to see it grow. I'm pretty adamant about Mastodon being a great platform and seeing other decentralized platforms grow is awesome. I wanted to know how I can see a list of instances, or if anyone has any recommendations? I know myself and a lot of others likely joined the largest instances first, but I don't want to add onto an already stressed server.

Until now I really enjoy my experience on Lemmy. The UI is great and minimalist, and things actually work, unlike on Reddit lol

[–] chrundle@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

How do instances decide to defederate other instances popping up in the future? E.g. an NSFW instance is created but I don't want to see any of it when I browse "All".

There are some features I miss. I always loved finding subs that allowed one to set a custom user flair, and I don't think we have that yet. And, of course, there aren't as many people, so some communities are just empty. Trying to figure out if a community is already out there or if I should try and make one myself, it's a little overwhelming to just start out. But... It's exciting. I don't know if this place will be a forever home, but it's promising.

So far I'm really enjoying Lemmy, both the website and Jerboa! But I'm still getting used to the whole federation thing. It's really weird to get used too. Also there seems to be fewer communities/subreddits. I'm missing specific interests...

But the concept is great! I'm excited to be on a open source social network. The mainstream ones are so unethical.

So far it is okay a little confusing to get started but not too bad, and it seems to be getting busier every day

[–] Mexamoxa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Looks clean and slick as well as familiar, many will find the transition smooth - excellent work!

[–] FangedWyvern42@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm waiting for some new communities to pop up, but the layout is good.

Feels a bit similar to moving to Mastodon from Twitter. easier to browse here than finding people to follow on Mastodon though

[–] Tixanou@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

it's great so far!

[–] Melkor@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

First post, liking what I'm seeing so far! Appreciate that signup here was quick/easy, had some issues on other instances.

[–] Kekin@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Quite intuitive. I like it. And I was easily able to find quite a few of the communities I like to follow. Cool stuff all around :)

[–] KHTangent@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I haven't used Lemmy much yet, but I'm honestly impressed by how well it seems to work so far.

[–] lynny@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do we get as many people to switch as possible?

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Well, for sure many redditors have never even heard of lemmy, so name dropping it in threads would help, but besides that, we can’t and shouldn’t spam it too much. Also quality >>> quantity I like the community here so far

[–] CHollman82@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

On Reddit you have your home page or start page that shows combined content from all of your subscribed subreddits and nothing else... how do I get to something like that here, or isn't there anything like that here?

This is my first visit so I'm still trying to figure things out. I'm on the mobile website right now because I haven't been able to figure out how to log in on the Jerboa app. Can anyone tell me what "instance" means on Jerboa when you're logging in? I tried a couple different ones from the dropdown menu but they all said " incorrect login."

Instance is basically a server. All of the servers talk to each other, so you can post and comment on any one of them. But your physical account resides on only one server. Currently, you can't migrate your account from one server to another, but it's planned as a feature in future releases of Lemmy.

Your instance (server) is lemmy.world, so you need to type that in the instance field. Thus, your username on Lemmy (and in the fediverse) is Violet@lemmy.world.

Interesting. I can see promise. I think this will be my stop if they kill relay for reddit.

Thanks to all who are working to make this site work

[–] pwolter0@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Once the server caught up and let me create my account it's been good. Still learning the details.

[–] Ego@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago
