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

Quite like it. Jerboa is usable despite its early development state.

I miss and probably will continue to miss some of the smaller niche communities, which are really only viable on huge servers/networks. Notably /flying and /NetBSD. There probably aren’t enough active users to create thriving communities on both reddit and lemmy. Although /r/flying participates in the blackout, I expect most redditors there will stay. I used the site on desktop most of the time, too, and I don’t see myself cutting all ties, either.

So, ambivalent, I’d say. I’ll see what the mobile app situation will be in a few weeks; Infinity has worked well for me.

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.

I noticed that, too. Would be very sad if they just claim the community and don’t really intend to do anything with it or hope that others will bring it to live. We will see how this pans out.

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.

I like it, but there are issues like timeouts when I try to sub/comment on some posts, but I’ll take it if it means being free of corporate control

I’m only really missing the search bar on the app, but I’m hyped for what third party app devs can do now this has gained a bit of traction

Kina true but bad search is kind of better than no search, but I think it will come very soon at the current rate

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?

I’ve added Lemmy as safari homescreen app. You have to use the gestures (which I hated) but you get used to it.
