Asklemmy

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!

For some reason I can't log into the web portal, and I still haven't figured out how to subscribe to a community.

So far, I am enjoying the experience. Full disclosure - I had an account on lemmy.ml a year or two ago that I deleted because I was not using the platform. I'm more engaged this time around. The only technical issues that I've noticed seem to be tied to the rapid growth in the user base and the administrators seem to be making adjustments as growth continues.

I haven't had any difficulty subscribing to communities that interest me and there seems to be enough content being generated to keep me interested and engaged. Generating content has been easy so far and I am enjoying myself.

The instance system seems nice - I like my instance and there are some good local communities. Some of them seem to replicate communities on other instances, but I don't mind having more than one community to check when I want to distract myself with a specific topic.

Former Reddit user here. It's a bit confusing but I'm holding up. I'm glad I found Kbin as it seems pretty user friendly compared to the various Lemmy instances. I'm excited for the future of both networks, and look forward to getting my head around it all a little better.

It seems more logically laid out and functioning than Kbin.

So far, so good. Excited to see more variety in communities as more users discover and migrate to lemmy.

This is the most confusing thing about this platform. Read the sidebar of each, and use the one that you align with the most. If you select “communities” in the header of the site, and select “all,” you will be able to subscribe to communities across all lemmy instances. It doesn’t really matter which instance you use as your home base, unless you’re on a server with a bunch of pieces of shit that everyone is blocking.

Note, if you want to create a new community on an instance, not all admins allow users to create communities on their instances. Beehaw is a good example of this. Only admins can create communities on beehaw.

Moving over from reddit as well and it would help if there was a summary for what the new terminology are such as microblogging and magazines and if these terminology have the same meaning across the fediverse.
Also when I subscribe to a community based in Lemmy why does Kbin show only how many people are subscribed from Kbin. It doesn't impact usage but it did add to the confusion. I'm probably still using the wrong terminology.
Otherwise I'm liking what I'm seeing and hoping to be on this long term :)

I definitely do agree with the old school vibes, I wasn't really born in that era of the internet, but it really is giving me those vibes.

Overall though, I'm finding it pretty intuitive. Certainly better than other social medias. I've tried tumblr and Twitter, just can't get the hang of them yknow?

I definitely prefer reddits app ui though. But I might just be so used to it anything else just feels weird.
