I'm excited for everyone to see how much better Lemmy is. I'm really happy we have a good option outside of Reddit.
I'll admit I'm moving from reddit and don't yet understand what lemmy and the fediverse are all about. I'm currently using the Connect for Lemmy app. So far it feels like there's a lot less content here, or I have no idea how to find the popular instances/communities. Another small gripe I have is when I search for a community (eg. gamedev) there's multiple that seem to be about the same thing. I've subscribed to them all and I guess that's just the nature of decentralized communities but it certainly makes the user experience a bit less seamless.
Does anyone have tips on how to best utilize Lemmy?
There is less content, "Rome wasn't built in a single day". But it will grow. And about the multiple communities, that's true, the experience is different from Reddit, but that doesn't mean it's worse. This structure is new, so we will see how it grows.
I honestly mind-blowing the way it has come alive in the last few weeks.
Brand new here, seems a little clunky but I’ll get used to it.
It does take a bit of poking around to learn, but once you get the hang of it things are pretty good. I'm excited for Sync for Lemmy so I have a more familiar app to use.
I currently trying https://wefwef.app/ interface, and it’s really clean (copy of Apollo ui)
Been using Wefwef the last couple days and it's great.
