It's got late 2000s Reddit vibes, which I like. I had to remove the Reddit browser bookmark because I suddenly realized I was browsing it again and must have opened it subconsciously. I'm trying to stay here dammit lol.

Digging it so far. The only thing that I have noticed, and this may just be due to the large influx of people coming to the site, it's been taking literal minutes for me to submit a post or edit my profile

Honestly I am feeling pretty optimistic about using Lemmy. It is definitely a learning curve in hoping the federated community but I really enjoy the idea of it. I’m hoping it can gain some more traction and get bigger in the near future.

When I add this site to my Home Screen it afterwards loads as a PWA. Is there a way to add the site without it loading as PWA? I just want it to open as a tab in safari.

How is the federation supposed to work regarding logins? I made my initial account on lemmy.world but I'm unable to login and subscribe to communities on other federated servers. I presumed the primary server I setup on would allow me to subscribe and comment on communities on other servers?

Still a young community, hopefully this’ll be able to take on Reddit someday in terms of user growth and usability

It seems like a cool idea. The idea of picking a server to sign up for didn't throw me for a loop like it does some folks; just like email, right? I think it needs a better way to interact on other instances though. Like for this one, I found lemmy.world from a link on Reddit, then opened this post. But I couldn't vote or comment because my account was on midwest.social. So I had to copy the !lemmyworld@lemmy.world community spec from the sidebar, go over to midwest.social in another tab, click the search button, paste the community spec there, re-find the same post, and now I can comment. Ideally I'd instead just be able to comment directly on lemmy.world using my already-logged-in account on midwest.social, or at least go directly to viewing the post via my own server with one click. Functionality like this would probably require a browser extension but that's better than nothing. I actually found one for Mastodon that's supposed to allow something like this for that service but so far I can't figure out how to get it to do its thing, and I don't think it supports Lemmy at all so far.

I lost my job the day I found out about the issues with third party apps for Reddit. I found Lemmy and Mastodon searching for alternatives. So far this community is a lot more wholesome and I'm enjoying being a part of it

Confusing as shit initially, but it starts to make sense

Really happy to be here - would love it if this place worked out. What's the best way to ensure that we get folks moving over?

I am happy whenever there is a fresh start. Brings out the flaws of my old ways.

Thanks for having me, lemmy.world!

These instances feel quite cosy. Homely, even. I think they're called instances? I don't know. Anyway, I'm here.

If anyone has any super-noob friendly tips for being a good Lemmy citizen then I'm all ears - I'm an iPhone user so any app recommendations would be greatly appreciated too!

I'm liking it. I'm sure it'll take some getting used to, but I'm off Reddit for the next 3 days so I'm sure I'll figure it out!

Ainda continuo no reddit,mas gosto de variar as coisas.. estou gostando do Kevin, só não entendi o lemmy..

Really hope this thing takes off.

I'm scared and confused and don't know where all the cat pictures are.

Question: is the "lag" from hitting the post button to seeing the post intentional or is that just a sign of stressed servers?
