Redditors, how do you like Lemmy? (beehaw.org)

I run a few groups, like @[email protected], mostly on Friendica. It's okay, but Friendica resembles Facebook Groups more than Reddit. I also like the moderation options that Lemmy has.

Currently, I'm testing jerboa, which is an Android client for Lemmy. It's in alpha, has a few hiccups, but it's coming along nicely.

Personally, I hope the #RedditMigration spurs adoption of more Fediverse server software. And I hope Mastodon users continue to interact with Lemmy and Kbin.

All that said, as a mod of a Reddit community (r/Sizz) I somewhat regret giving Reddit all that content. They have nerve charging so much for API access!

Hopefully, we can build a better version of social media that focuses on protocols, not platforms.

Okay, I've found a really annoying problem with Lemmy. I'd heard it mentioned before, but now I understand why it's so bad.

I click on "show context" to a reply that someone made to a post of mine. I didn't realize it, but I was instantly in a different instance and logged out of my account. So I couldn't respond. Clicking "back" didn't return me to my instance or log me back in. I had to re-enter my instance all over again.

That's HUGE. I'm sure it would drive away 4 out of 5 users. Please, someone, tell me it's being addressed!

I haven't noticed that behaviour at all. Are you using an app (which one?) or website (mobile, desktop? Which browser?)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (22 children)

Firefox on my desktop.

Have you tried a chromium browser? I haven't tried browsing lemmy on FF yet, but I never had that issue on chromium (Brave).

Firefox works fine for me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Oof.. then it might not be the browser. Maybe an extension?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, but I don't have Brave installed. Let me try Chrome.

Hope it works!
