Slow at times but it's improving little by little with more contributors and development.

It's a start. I have lots of issues, but I'm willing to let them go in the hope that it will work itself out in time.

I like it too.

But the app really needs some improvement (I know it's still in alpha, but the typing glitches make it really annoying to type)

But so far it's been good and I see good potential in it.

It's a little buggy here and there and needs some UI improvement, but once I finish setting up my account and subscribe to communities it's quite good. Being able to search and subscribe to communities from both Local Server and All Servers within Lemmy should be made more clear for new users, as they normally use search bar to search for eveything.

I initially try to access Lemmy and comment posts from my Mastodon account. I can paste Lemmy post url to search bar in Mastodon, hit enter and the post will appear. But it's like parsing a Reddit post and its comment to a Twitter one, it's not the same experience, so I have to create a Lemmy account. I guess it is great if you want to promote something within Fediverse

I understand how federation works, and Lemmy's UI seems more or less fine, but I guess I'm still not quite sold on federation in this style being the answer for Reddit-like functionality. It's a bit awkward, and unlike how Twitter's functionality is quite easily mimicked by Mastodon, I'm still kind of skeptical that following subreddit equivalents in that fashion maps quite as cleanly.

I'm not sure how I would do it differently, but I get the sense that there is a better way to have a decentralized Reddit-like experience, and probably one that avoids the risks of the current method (downtime, discoverability, scaling costs for the largest instances, etc).

I'll stick around the fediverse for now, but I really get the sense that it was built for a Twitter or maybe Tumblr like experience, and the Reddit-like experience will always feel a bit short of ideal.

I also just joined but i am a bit tech savy so i wanted my own instance. So it is decent just some trouble loading comment. In general I really like it.

Just migrated my account here. Honestly it's getting a lot bigger here than what I've expected. Always lurked around Reddit, but I wouldn't mind changing my route over here.

I like it very much, i miss some more options, but the first impression is damn good and i'm happy.

It took me about 30 mins of getting used to the idiosyncrasies and the bugs (btw people most of the bugs are issues in github, go vote or comment!). Once I did I have been happy as a clam.

this is more fun than reddit has been in years!

After all of 5 minutes, I'm undecided. It's not Reddit, which is probably a good thing at this point. I need to spend more time here...
