It would be nice to have a place to discuss world events without trolls brigading every thread.

It is OK. Performance is a bit bumpy (expected) and communities are a lot quieter, but it is much much nicer here. Reddit is filled with absolute morons who scream SOURCE!!!!!! every time they see a joke or opinion which doesn't allign with their belief that children standing 8na. School yard deserved to die because they have the right to drive angiant car

Pretty good actually, android app is neat.

As a former reddit sync app user, finding "liftoff" helped make the transition a smoother experience. I've been enjoying hunting for new communities to join and watching them grow.

Not gonna lie it was really confusing to begin with, even with a guide. Partially because I dropped by kbin first.

Lemmy is really good. It's not perfect, but obviously has great potential.

My only issue has been telling other people (in real life) about it, or convincing anyone to try it. The whole concept of the fediverse and related platfoms is too technical for the commoner to understand why it's so important in the first place.

I'm honest, I still don't get the universe concept. I am going on the site via feddit, which is the German version, I guess? If I want to see everything, I need to go to lemmy.world? If I get an app for it, what would it route me to?

It should be fine after a while if people stay here, but for now it's still in its infancy when it comes to user friendliness, I think.

Meh it's missing a lot of QoL. It would have been nice if Lemmy had 'default subs' just as reddit did. Perhaps there are some Lemmy instances that do this?

I find it very hard to find subs to subscribe to (overview of existing subs is terrible), and the subs I did find are much less active than on reddit (even compared to smaller subreddits)

Plus the app I am using (wefwef) is clunky in its design; collapsing comments is clunky, downvoting is somehow ridiculously hard to figure out, and there is no consistant 'back' navigation item (switching between the android back-button in the bottom, and a cancel button at the top, without any consistency or logic)

Overall: if reddit would come back online tomorrow, I'd go back in a heartbeat. It's like the Lemmy developers are filled with IT people and lacking in psychologists, sociologists and UX experts.

Loving it! The iPhone apps are still rough or buggy, but even in the few weeks I’ve been here, they’ve come a long way. I expect great things X

Also, the beans were a nice touch. I needed some good laughs.

I'm really unironically loving it. The range and depth of topics and discussions is growing by the day and it's a wonderful feeling to realise that these communities are, by design, safer from the clutches of Silicon Valley capitalists than they ever were on Reddit. I'll pitch in, I'll donate, shit I'll even try host stuff if needs be. I can contribute to this project and I find that immensely exciting.

I wish it hadn't taken me so long to realise what was going on here but I have only spez to thank for making me see the light. Attaboy, Steve.

Pretty damn confusing. So far I’m not liking it. I can’t find the type of subs I followed on Reddit and yeah idk man

I like it but still dealing with a bit of a learning curve. I expected some glitches and slow downs so that hasn't really bothered me. Looking forward to watching the platform evolve and take shape as I learn more.

My biggest pain point right now is the bugs. I tried posting a rather long reply to something and got a "Beehaw is down for maintenance" message. I'm not sure if it was the instance or my app (Connect), but I ended up losing the post.

Having said that, I really am enjoying my time here. People seem nice and welcoming, and engagement is good. I'm looking forward to seeing how things progress.

Pretty nice. I just wish more people were here. The occasional bug is fine it seems to be fixed quickly.
