Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

I run a few groups, like @fediversenews@venera.social, mostly on Friendica. It's okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.

Currently, I'm testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It's in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it's coming along nicely.

Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.

All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!

Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.

It's pretty cool, Rick.

I wish there was a way to collapse branches of nested comments.

I'm enjoying the process of figuring it out. I think I have a basic understanding, but I'm still having a bit of difficulty finding slightly more niche things I'm interested in. I have no regrets deleting my Reddit account, but I will miss certain subreddits.

First post! I really like it, but the glitches and app issues due to the influx of traffic has made it a bit difficult to really experience and to consider as my new reddit. This is not an attack on Lemmy, but frustration with the current predicament. I'm excited to see what Lemmy can become.

The default lemmy UI is... not great
It reassembles the new reddit UI and that's not great. It has a lot of wasted whitespace on ultrawhide monitors.
Kbin's UI is a lot better and it reassembles the old reddit UI, in a modern way, I like that.

With that said, I'm a huge fan of federation, and want to support it, but I'm aware things aren't great right now
Discoverabily is not great, and I had trouble finding subs I care about... as a power user... imagine normal users doing that...

Just like with Mastodon, the main Lemmy website has a bunch of technical jargon that will scare any new user away immediately.

Day or two of work, looks like home.
