i'm loving it - even the rawness of it - eg kbin grinding at the moment - it feels like you're a part of the development. my only concern is what happens where there are multiple large communities/magazines/whatever.your.instance.calls.it. Say there's a !funny@lemmy and a !funny@kbin. would be great if these could be aggregated together some how. There could be a lot of duplication across communities. Or will one rise supreme and the others dwindle to nothingness? who knows.

I'd really prefer to have the option to make it look/feel like old.reddit. The biggest reason I'm off reddit right now is because I'm concerned the third-party appsassination is going to make them think they can kill off old.reddit, too. Coming over here where it's just aping new.reddit kinda defeats the purpose.

Still definitely needs some polish on the UI / UX front, as well as a more seamless experience for new users. But overall I can definitely see the potential!

Can we disable the auto "refreshing" that add new post when we scrolling the home screen?

I've honestly been pleasantly surprised so far.

Like, the communities over here are clearly tiny compared to the ones we've been used to over on Reddit, but they're also large enough that they have enough interesting content to keep you browsing. In some ways, the environment here feels a bit more welcoming right now than a lot of Reddit due to there being a lot of pretty high-quality content from folks that clearly want this place to succeed.

That said, there's still some growing pains. Some of the instances are pretty sluggish, there are bugs that need to be worked out (this isn't to knock on the devs - I'm thankful this works at all!), and the number of niche communities is still vanishingly small.

I've moved here cause of the current Reddit drama, and I gotta say, this is a lot nicer than reddit currently is

Hello world.

As an Internet Old Head I'm just happy to be talking to real people again, and not bots or bad-faith trolls or (worse yet) shouting into the wind and having the algorithm bat you down.

to quote Oprah's first tweet, "FEELING REALLY 21ST CENTURY"

I like it very much, i miss some more options, but the first impression is damn good and i'm happy.

I like how it works! I don't like the default web UI. For a ton of reasons. I'd love to see someone make a more old reddit-like one.

I'm liking it so far, I've been trying to explore other instances other than lemmy.one but, the login always turns into an infinite loading screen.

It's interesting.

I'm not sure on the interface, though I'm sure I'll get used to it. 😅

I also just joined but i am a bit tech savy so i wanted my own instance. So it is decent just some trouble loading comment. In general I really like it.

Really fragmented, but really good.

It's taken a little getting used to, but it isn't too difficult to learn. Agree with loving the simplicity; just wondering if there's a way for us to customize the styling/colors? Also for some reason the votes on posts keep cycling through random numbers, lol

Really can't complain though since it takes a lot of money and time to build stuff like this.

I am loving this. I don't think I'll be using reddit as much as I did previously.

My first hour here...gonna take a little getting used to but I like it so far. Much as I was addicted to reddit, a change is probably a good thing. I'm gonna really miss my saved posts once I delete them though
