Hey, website works pretty great. I joined recently and was able to subscribe to a couple cool communities here locally and on other instances. Everything seems pretty awesome. Thanks for having me!

I just subscribed to Lemmy.world via Beehaw, which already has a good community. Looking forward to being part of the discussions in these new integrated frontiers :)

Thanks! It looks more like a Discourse forum than Reddit. I'll reserve judgment for now but after so many companies took their own platform usage we need something like this more than ever.

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

[โ€“] Tixanou@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

it's great so far!

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

I'm looking forward to contributing! I still need to go through the list of communities to try and find what I care about, but that should be fun!

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.

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

[โ€“] Kekin@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years 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 :)

[โ€“] o_O@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Thanks, just logged in. I'm so exited to use the lemmy. I really hope others from reddit come here so that we have even more engagement and much refined app.

[โ€“] LaughingFox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (7 children)

Is there an app for Lemmy?

Glad to be here. So far, so good. I like what I am seeing, even if I feel somewhat lost after about a decade on Reddit.

[โ€“] Knoll0114@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Echoing others I'm finding it quite exciting to be a part of new communities (and to hopefully play a role in making them more established.) I'm trying to comment as much as possible to play my part. I'm also loving the fediverse in general.

[โ€“] chickenfish@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

so. um. my question is, in mastadon even though you have an account with one instance you can still see/follow/whatever people from different ones (unless the admins made it private) is this the case with lemmy or am i stuck here and would need to go make some other places? thanks
edit: NOW i see the tab switching from 'local' to 'all'. Derp

I'm still mainly using Reddit atm as there is just so much more content to see and a few small Subreddits that I haven't found here. I also have not seen any porn here yet.

The blackout will hopefully bring more people (like me) here, as for those 2 days, I'll DNS block Reddit in my network to not accidentally use it during that time. Hoping to get more used to this here during that time.

[โ€“] sirfig@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Looks good so far, looking forward to getting the hang of Lemmy.

[โ€“] NMSGalacticHub@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I like it. Bringing over some No Man's Sky people. Is there a shorthand way to link communities? Like typing /r/NoMansSky would link to the subreddit on reddit, but /c/NoMansSky doesn't link to the community here. Would be a cool future feature if it's not one now!

Lurked for a day anonymously, just signed up after liking what I saw. Considering hosting my own instance for myself just to try the set up, but my home server already has a lot running on it, need to think about it.

Hoping some communities I followed on reddit start to appear and have regular activity.
