It's a change. Harder to use initially but then I'm sure I'll get used to it and enjoy it more

Very good so far. I understand that server owners are needing to make changes to optimize for a large number of users migrating, so any slowdowns or service issues are completely understandable.

I really like the idea of a federated "reddit style" forum. Gives power back to the users.

I like it here.

The content isn't here yet, the UI needs a review, but its funcional and cool.

We just need to get everyone here and endure the growing pains as lemmy matures.

Its somewhat confusing, but I guess thats to be expected on a new site.

Really good! there is some work (or learning) to be done on making links work more painlessly, but on the whole, I really hope this takes off!

It’s really growing on me. I love the idea of being able to browse and participate in communities outside of my “home instance”. Where to actually set up as a “home instance” was a bit confusing, but once I picked one I kinda just forget about it.

So, honestly, the only thing that concerns me is duplication of various "subreddits", for a lack of better term.

I searched for Technology, and I found two different ones. I know that's how the Fediverse works, but it may cause confusion and drive down user engagement

Excited to be here. Waiting to see how this week things pan out with the subreddits I follow and hope they will move here eventually, so I can get cozy. Also Long Live Jerboa , I reckon my experience wouldn't be the same without it. See you around Lemmy, peps.

I'm enjoying, the UX feels a bit lacking but it can become better with time, I'm reading the docs to see if I can help and running my instance, I'm enjoying so far!

I think I'm getting the hang of it, I'm just concerned it won't ever get to the point of having as many in depth communities as Reddit, because that's what I like most about Reddit

I'm still a little confused but it's sinking in. The difference between an instance and a "sub", as well as how to join or interact with other "subs" without having to join each individual instance, was the part that was toughest to adapt to. I love it, though. Lemmy is giving me the feeling Reddit did when I first joined it a long, long time ago on my first ever account. It feels organic.

Just got the account approved and checking things out. It feels comfortably reddity with a hint of newness that invites for exploration. I am curious how the community will shape this site and if and how it will establish itself in the greater vacuum I foresee will be left in reddit's once great tracks.

I had been lurking on a few Lemmy instances for years (more or less since mid-2020 when I started getting more interested in FOSS) and with the Reddit shitshow I finally decided it was time to join, so I was already quite familiar with the concept of instances and how the Fediverse works on principle.

I'm slowly exploring more to find interesting communities to interact with, and hopefully there'll be more incoming users from Reddit creating more niche spaces.

I enjoy getting into something new. Looks promising. Has some scaling issues as expected. But it looks like a great, new place. I hope this grows into a solid social media forum. 👍

I’m enjoying the concept behind the fediverse, and while communities are small right now, they’re eventually gonna get bigger and be more centralized.

I think the UI/UX does need a little more work, but that’ll come with time.

Quick answer, it rocks 👍. Things work differently obviously, but nothing's especially confusing or awkward. Everything I've done in the short time I've been here has worked fine. The speed and UI polish show minor problems in places, but it's to be expected. As far as I can tell it's 100% usable right away as a realistic reddit replacement, which is pretty outstanding IMO.

It's giving me some early reddit days vibes. I remember searching for communities that fit my interests, it felt less based on recommendations and more 'pick your content yourself'. never felt the urge to post much myself on reddit, this feels like a place I would though.

Biggest downside I see right now is user base size and UI of mobile apps. Have only tested Jerboa right now, which feels like a very basic app (still working fine though!). once I get some customization capabilities back on mobile I'll be happy!

And the user base will grow, the fediverse approach feels kinda nice.
