I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of
I’m liking it so far - bit of a learning curve but not too bad!
I do have a bone to pick with users - there are a lot of niche communities that have zero posts. If you start a community, try to add something to it! I’m not sure if people are trying to “claim” rights to as many communities as possible - i surely hope not - but if you’re interested in a subject and want to start a community, surely you have something to say! It takes two hands to clap - if you don’t start saying something, then whoever comes to your community is gonna move on.
As an iOS user on safari, where is the damn “back” button!? I end up reading then having to return to the main menu and re-scroll down. Is this a lacking feature or am I just an idiot?
It works, at least. The only issue I’m seeing is that if I try to follow ‘sublemmies’ (or whatever the Lemmy equivalent for a subreddit is called) from certain other federated servers, they just sit in ‘subscribe pending’. A fediverse that creates a lot of friction when spreading out beyond your local instance is a bit of a bummer.
I’ve had a lot of issues trying to subscribe as well. Even searching in Jerboa has been a bit of an issue, I’ve had to go onto my computer and search for a community I know that exists and subscribe that way. It won’t otherwise even show up in the app.
All things I’m sure will get ironed out soon enough. I quite like this whole thing, if I’m being honest. Doesnt have angsty reddit bullshit yet either, but I’m sure that will soon follow when the problematic mods start showing up.
Its much harder as a lurker. I do actively contribute to a few communities on Reddit, but they’re smaller ones that are unlikely to make the swap :\
I mostly like it, until the front page spazzes out (I think it’s randomly starting to update, or something?). Then it becomes totally unusable. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever that that should even be physically possible, and is really starting to annoy me.
I’m glad I’m not the only one that had this happen. The content of the front page in general (at least on mobile) is still a bit confusing to me. There are some posts that are a few hours old and others that are already a few days old. Other than that I also really like it. I’ve been more active on here in the last couple of days than I’ve been on Reddit in the past three years.
