As a former reddit sync app user, finding "liftoff" helped make the transition a smoother experience. I've been enjoying hunting for new communities to join and watching them grow.
Loving it! The iPhone apps are still rough or buggy, but even in the few weeks I’ve been here, they’ve come a long way. I expect great things X
Also, the beans were a nice touch. I needed some good laughs.
Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?
I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)
Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)
Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.
Jerboa is a pretty good app for Android. Can't wait for sync for lemmmy to come out though.
It is OK. Performance is a bit bumpy (expected) and communities are a lot quieter, but it is much much nicer here. Reddit is filled with absolute morons who scream SOURCE!!!!!! every time they see a joke or opinion which doesn't allign with their belief that children standing 8na. School yard deserved to die because they have the right to drive angiant car
I like that its federated to prevent hierarchical abuse. I dislike the seams of that federation reducing ease of use and reducing population growth, thus reducing the size of niche "Communities" (as Lemmy generically calls them).
I need my subs so I still visit Reddit begrudgingly if only for those. Once those more niche communities grow even slightly big enough for a common back and forth though I'll probably fully abandon Reddit.
I haven't been able to find an answer for this, so here goes... How many accounts on different instances does everyone have?
I have three and have started subscribing to different stuff to try and curate my experience (I'm missing multi-reddits), but I'm not sure what's the optimal experience as my all timelines often show very similar content on each account
Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.
