I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

    I think it’s just going to take some getting used to. I’ve been riding the struggle bus for the last couple of days but it’s getting better. I’m just excited to be somewhere new for a change. The echo chambers were getting pretty bad.

    Mlem (iOS app) isn’t great but I’m sure it will get better. The official reddit app is atrocious.

    I was on reddit for over 12 years. I mostly lurked because my comments were never seen by the time I saw a thread. That’s not super important tot me but I’d like to have more of a voice. Sure, things are easy now, but back in the day it was a pain in the ass in some regards. I’m still shocked the search sucks so bad over there. Give it some time to grow and see what happens.

      Coming from Apollo I’m quite liking the mlem app. It’s already doing the things I want it to do.

        Same! It just needs the ability to collapse posts or a compact mode for the feed. And to be a bit less crash-ey. But it’s in beta I expect stability and features to improve.
