We’ll be fiiiiine 🥲 starts hyperventilating
I can’t wait for Lemmy to be my time waster and news grab all in one ❤️
Hell yeah, just got here and am ready boost some engagement! I already like it here, I forgot that being able to see the amount of down votes used to be a thing
*Looks like I’m the 69th comment here, what a start!
One of the things I love about Lemmy is that I’m literally over here in a different instance. I can willingly see other content but I also have this local group I can be close with. It brings me back to the old Internet with the benefits and reach of the new Internet.
Excellent point. A small community, that can easily interact with the larger community. This is what the internet always should have been.
This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I’ve been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90’s. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.
After onboarding the interface is kind of rough to figure out. Mostly because the mobile web version isn’t that great, and jerboa also isn’t that great, and they’re different enough that switching back and forth gets you confused. With reddit’s problems, I imagine we’ll see some more client apps and ui improvements show up in the next couple months with the added attention, and that’ll be the end of that. Honestly, I thought it’d be rougher. I do wish I got more replies to my comments though, so i’m trying to make a point to post a bit more than I ordinarily would.
The desktop web interface seems pretty similar to old reddit/rif so I haven’t had that much difficulty with browsing. The fact that I’ll be losing my niche subs is the hardest part of moving entirely to Lemmy though.
Judging from my experience trying to sign up for a Lemmy instance for the past 2 days, it’s going to be hard. Unless I was doing something wrong, I can see a lot of people having difficulty signing up and eventually giving up. kbin was much easier to sign up for.
Oh no. Our non-centralized website system will get more users. Aaah.
Brace yourselves. Porn is coming.
So am I
I saw admin here say ‘not on this instance’ because it was too difficult to moderate.
I sure hope Lemmy has good crowd control… as a reddit refugee myself
We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.
Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can’t make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.
Praying that Infinity for Reddit moved to Lemmy 🙏
Interesting. I’m using Jerboa right now and while I have a few complaints, scrolling speed isn’t one of them. I wonder if it’s a phone specific issue.
Right now I’m just using the web interface on mobile - selfhosted though so I got to change the theme to dark.
I just use a dark reader extension on the browser.
So far I’m looking forward to surfing this wave. Sad to see Reddit burn, but at least there are alternatives.
Also potential loss of old reddit
Forget waves then. Reddit gonna slip into the sea like Atlantis
Funny how even the small wave is enough to take down the city 🤣. I hope Lemmy can grow to be my primary time waster. There’ll be downtime and hiccups, but I’m a patient man.
Lemmy doesn’t have adult content tho
Lemmy has an NSFW toggle. The only reason it doesn’t have any adult content is that nobody is posting any (and that nobody has set up an adult community yet). There are several Mastodon instances dedicated to porn so it’s not like the wider Fediverse is strictly opposed to it either.
Your friendly, local site admin may not want to deal with the moderation challenges that come with porn, though. If you want it, you may need to (convince/pay someone to) set up a dedicated adult content friendly server.
There’s an ‘anal’ community, but there seems to be no content 😅.
That’s just for difficult people
I’m part of the problem. How’s it going guys?
Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that’s fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out
I don’t really know how this system works but if I’m on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?
That’s the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I’m not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw’s instance
Our current coding work should help, but ya it’s not been an easy time for us server admins, when reddit fucks up so bad that half the site tries to join the fediverse.
Thank you for your hard work, and sorry for being part of the reddit hoarde 😂
But seriously, thank you 👍
Its no probs! Just glad we made something that people are getting some use out of.
Hello i’m from the wave !
which one -)-)
(・_・;) the one of the normal people of course.
The sub with all the waifu plane girls?
Nah, waifu car girls is where it’s at.
What’s Apollo?
The largest and most popular 3rd party reddit app
