Technology
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's pretty cool, Rick.
I'm enjoying the process of figuring it out. I think I have a basic understanding, but I'm still having a bit of difficulty finding slightly more niche things I'm interested in. I have no regrets deleting my Reddit account, but I will miss certain subreddits.
I hope in the near future some of the nuances will be more clearly explained to new users such as how to search for external communities.
I wish the UI was more dense like old.reddit.
these are minor complaints though and I know the contributors weren't building lemmy in anticipation of the API exodus.
The default lemmy UI is... not great
It reassembles the new reddit UI and that's not great. It has a lot of wasted whitespace on ultrawhide monitors.
Kbin's UI is a lot better and it reassembles the old reddit UI, in a modern way, I like that.
With that said, I'm a huge fan of federation, and want to support it, but I'm aware things aren't great right now
Discoverabily is not great, and I had trouble finding subs I care about... as a power user... imagine normal users doing that...
Just like with Mastodon, the main Lemmy website has a bunch of technical jargon that will scare any new user away immediately.
I'd like to be able to hide the story summaries on community pages, so you just see the topic. Reddit was super compact that way, which I really preferred. This was constantly abused too, of course...
First post! I really like it, but the glitches and app issues due to the influx of traffic has made it a bit difficult to really experience and to consider as my new reddit. This is not an attack on Lemmy, but frustration with the current predicament. I'm excited to see what Lemmy can become.
I have a lot of questions about the whole Fediverse concept but I love the general vibe of hopefulness that there is around here, it's crazy refreshing!
I'm also using Jerboa currently and I love it!
P.S. Don't forget to nuke your reddit accounts!
I like the idea of it, but it's janky as hell. For example, when I tried to post a comment here using the mobile page without choosing a language, the UI just sat there spinning forever without telling me what I did wrong. It wasn't until I tried using Jerboa that I got a message saying what I did wrong. It also appears I need to manually set the language in each post!
