I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?
I’m a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It’s definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it’s great to see something that isn’t Reddit growing in popularity!
Somehow, the UI is really buggy for me so far, and I experience numerous lags. I didn’t manage to create a post yet, and sporadically, it seems like my instance is not available, due to some server error pages. Usually, after a reload of the page, it is fine again.
Furthermore, the UI is differently worse, than Reddits. Searching is awful, and I miss a lot of sorting functionality or algorithm for bringing up the comments based on likes and sub-comments.
I hope this will become better now, the Lemmy gets a lot of attention. Sadly, there is no completed iOS app yet. I don’t like using the Website. :D
But then, it is nice to have a decentralized version of Reddit. And it seems it has already a few users, I hope Lemmy will grow further. I will stay strong.
yeah, the UI seems very buggy right now. Jzst now I had the start page endlessly load various posts for no reason. I had to reload the page to make it stop.
Also the popup menus just stay up when they shouldn’t and I expect a new tab when clicking post links, instead it loads in the same tab, so I always have to go back.
