I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

    I’m quite lost, and don’t think I fully understand the distributed nature of the various Lemmy instances (if I’m even using those words properly).

    I’ll do it like Reddit 10 years ago… wander in, poke around, make a snarky comment or 4 and see where it goes.

    Involve more work but this kind of change is for the best. Freedom from the tyranny of corporate greed!

      Is this the part where we seize the means of production and eat the rich? Because I’m here for it.

        Nah, we’re just seizing a little corner where the bosses mostly leave us alone.

            Just so we’re clear, we’re definitely eating the rich, right? Don’t just tell me we have the rich at home.

      I think having friction to use it can end up as a good thing. Works as a good first filter for bad/low effort users.

    I hate the way the threads are constantly being re-arranged as new ones appear. It makes it much harder to read through them when they keep moving around. There should be a setting to turn that off.

    I also don’t like the fact that the search function doesn’t let me select communities until I’ve already done a search. It just keeps resetting back to “All”.

    I feel like this can be a really great replacement, but people will need to stick with it and watch it grow. Right now there is not enough content to keep people engaged. It’s mainly just questions confusion. I am really digging the format simplicity of things!

    It’s ok. Navigating takes some getting used to and the lower content and engagement so far is a bummer. Hopefully it will take off though. A mobile app at some point would be nice.

    It’s more clunky but not unbearably so. Once Jerboa gets more features it’ll be a lot better. I miss swiping back, having to use the back button sucks.

    At first I thought it would be much more complicated to join and use than it really is. I really like the concept but the platform still feels pretty janky, needs polishing and some QoL features that are currently missing. Hopefully we will also get some awesome third party mobile apps. Overall it’s very promising and I hope it will get adopted widely.

    Its a better experience than reddit so far, the communities are small, most people are respectful and its not just the same shit in recycling.

    I’m a big fan of the fact that you can sort by both Activity and also Hot.

    That seems ripe to create a neat way for communities to organize, because you can either make your groups into a more Reddit-styled combination of both new/score or alternatively, allows people to run almost like an old school forum where the most recently used threads are filtered back up to the top.

    Intended or not, really cool feature, and I hope it stays.

    I like it here. Even with all the bugs, the interface is clean, the community is very nice. I actually like to engage more here on Lemmy than I ever did on Reddit. I hope that stays.

    I’m liking it, and anticipating its growth – with both trepidation and excitement. It’s unpolished but I don’t mind that all too much. Trying to engage as much as I can.

    It seems comfy. I’m skeptical of the UI and UX for the website and the app (even jeroba) but I came from reddit boost which is absolutely a phenomenal experience. I hope this evolves and improves in these ways

    Community feels more welcoming. I hope it continues to grow exponentially, because it’ll need it to work!
