Im enjoying it so far, i think ive figured most of it out, got myself on a nice smaller local instance and everything is loading properly, and im consuming the information.
Took me a while to find a client i liked (wefwef) and understand how subscriptions with the fediverse works, but now that i do, it's a pretty awesome experience.
In donating monthly to the Mastadon.world Patreon and I couldn't be happier to be doing it.
For an "early adopter" it is amazing so far. I see a lot of potential, more-so with Lemmy than other federated platforms. I thought I would just use Lemmy on mobile to replace Reddit since I refuse to download their app. Instead, it unintentionally replaced Reddit almost entirely for me. Just missing some small niche communities that I can't find anywhere but reddit
I’m loving it but I’m worried about what will happen when an instance goes down and knocks out a significant community.
I’m not great at getting to learn new things. Took me ages to get used to Reddit. I didn’t use the third party apps (I only just learnt how to use the Reddit app), but my friend did and it’s shit what Spez did to everyone. So yeah, fuck Reddit. I’m slowly getting used to lemmy. Need to spend more time on it but am enjoying
So far the only complaints I have is the lack of population (my teams communities are so small there is no real conversation going on), and some delays in these days. But tbh, both are to be expected, so I dont mind them too much. Really rooting for the instances admins ramping up the servers, and for people to migrate here.
Functionality wise, I was a bit confused by the federatization concept but it is pretty similar to reddit so except for creating the account it is pretty good!
Just happy to be here.
I haven't had to adjust to much. It's pretty much the same as before, in terms of how everything works at a basic level. I'm liking the different sorting options, more. New Comments is exactly what I like to see.
so so - I like that I can post from Mastodon. It feels incomplete yet intriguing.
It's cool. I've been on mastodon before this, so I get the whole "looking around to find communities" thing. Lemmy seems to make it easier to find popular communities than Masto though, so that's nice.
But... After reddit fell, I took it as a sign that I need to get off the social media wagon wheel. I was spending almost every waking minute on reddit or twitching to get on it. I hope it doesn't get like that with Lemmy, though I fully expect it to.
