It's very nice! In general it's cleaner. Community so far is much friendlier. I like that there are fewer of us so far. It's more homely?

However, joining communities is still a bit rough and difficult and a bit unreliable for me at the moment.

I didn't come here to talk about Reddit all day, but every thread on lemmy is just reddit, reddit, reddit. So I'm mostly lurking until that is gone.

I haven't had the time to take the full dive yet - I joined this site and have been perusing here but haven't jumped around anywhere else. So far I love it. I told myself if I'm still using it when my check rolls in next Friday (god damn you biweekly pay!), I'll have to start contributing to the server.

It's horrible and I will not be sticking around

I like it! I especially like that you don't even need to make a separate account to interact with the communities on there! (I'm literally commenting from a custom fork of glitch-soc right now) That alone makes Lemmy better than any normal Forum out there.

Edit: doesn't appear that Lemmy handles content warnings in replies

I like the idea of it, but it's janky as hell. For example, when I tried to post a comment here using the mobile page without choosing a language, the UI just sat there spinning forever without telling me what I did wrong. It wasn't until I tried using Jerboa that I got a message saying what I did wrong. It also appears I need to manually set the language in each post!

Jerboa made a huge progress in a short time with the wave of attention Lemmy is getting. I'm liking Lemmy a lot more than rexxit.

Hope most moderators stay there and we get fresh moderation here. (Not sure how were you as moderator, but I had lots of bad experiences)

Luckily some communities I enjoyed there are already here, like Foss, android, linux, open source, Nintendo.

Would love to see many of my subreddits here. (Maybe maybe maybe, specialized tools, unexpected, unixporn, kdeporn, to name a few)

I like that it's more similar to old.reddit.com. Already use mastodon, so federation is not a new concept for me (I'm sure a lot of people are still getting their heads around that).

The community is much smaller, but that's to be expected (and maybe a good thing). I miss the feeling of find super-niche hobby subreddits. But I guess those will come to Lemmy if/when the userbase grows.

PS: also, had no idea what sizz was. Looks cool. Is there a new home for it here?

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!!!

I actually just joined today and this is my second ever comment. It wasn't too hard to get setup, given I hadn't been on any fediverse until now. I have to say I like how well the instances link together too, at least from what I have seen so far.

I am using Jerboa at the moment and while it is kind of basic it seems faster compared to Reddit Sync or the official reddit app. This is a very good sign as I have had issues with both offical reddit and sync in the past including a fair amount of crashes. I might have to look for a desktop app soon and at some other fediverse types (don't know the terminology), I know there is one for videos for instance.

I am kind of interested to see an instance like this. I am a member of r/Autism_Pride and some similar subreddits so this seems like somewhere I could spend some time.

p.s. Is there any drug or harm reduction communities I should now about? How about fountain pens or baking bread? Random I know but thought it was worth an ask.

I'm liking it. Seems chill. Some growing pains and there's not quite as much here as I was following on the other site, but, maybe that's a good thing and humans aren't actually meant to have a constant information firehose?

Beehaw has been wonderfully welcome, so thank you all for that. Between /kbin and Beehaw I honestly don't have any desire to go back. The community here is awesome and it's even more awesome that we aren't split up by app. I can switch between /kbin and Beehaw as I like, and even post from each onto the other. Blows my mind how well it works!

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
