A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

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’m still getting things setup but really enjoy it so far! Excited to see so many folks joining the fediverse and putting ActivityPub to work!!!
Feels like home, it's been easy to use, albeit with some hiccups in terms of searching and subscribing to communities on different servers.
I like it so far, but my reddit was very well curated, it can't live up to that yet. Lemmy can be a bit confusing at times and the 'all' option seems to be either not moving at all or at a million miles an hour. It will take me a while to get a nice feed, I think.
I like it so far. It has some familiar features, but there are some learning curves to it.
Little rough around the edges but I can definitely see its potential 👍🏼
overall Lemmy is pretty good. Better than I expected tbh.
The communities are smaller, which feels more old-school, and it feels friendlier and more accepting. On reddit if you bought up nu-metal in the metal subreddit you'd be downvoted and harassed, here I saw someone bring up nu-metal in a metal community and people were super accepting of it. However, because of the smaller population, the more niche interests don't have a community, or if they do, there's basically no content.
The federation thing takes a second to 'get' and with it, comes problems of discoverability, but we have browse.feddit.de to help with that. The upside to the fediverse is the fact the users are in control of the platform instead of a for-profit organization make me very happy, I no longer scroll with shame, I scroll with pride.
There are pros and cons to Lemmy but the biggest cons are related to the relatively low number of users which will grow with time (I hope). Overall I'm enjoying it so far and I really hope more reddit communities make the switch
To be completely honest I don't like it. It could be the app I'm using (Jerboa) but it's just missing so many features. For example, comments are shown in seemingly random order with no way to sort
not enough videos, too slow and jerboa is not top notch .
