    This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I’ve been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90’s. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.

      After onboarding the interface is kind of rough to figure out. Mostly because the mobile web version isn’t that great, and jerboa also isn’t that great, and they’re different enough that switching back and forth gets you confused. With reddit’s problems, I imagine we’ll see some more client apps and ui improvements show up in the next couple months with the added attention, and that’ll be the end of that. Honestly, I thought it’d be rougher. I do wish I got more replies to my comments though, so i’m trying to make a point to post a bit more than I ordinarily would.

        The desktop web interface seems pretty similar to old reddit/rif so I haven’t had that much difficulty with browsing. The fact that I’ll be losing my niche subs is the hardest part of moving entirely to Lemmy though.

              Lack of time, autism, and anxiety. Not exactly good traits for starting and maintaining a community. And to be honest, interacting at my own pace is OK, but feeling like I had to would be way too socially taxing.

              It’s really not for everyone. I’m not cut out for that. I’m the kind of person who comes along with a weirdly detailed answer to an incredibly niche question. It takes all kinds to have a vibrant community.

      Its an issue, but Its at least barebones and information dense. Feels like going back 20 years on internet design, with some new things. Its old school and a bit of whiplash even for me. Some younger users are going to have a task getting around at first.

      Just jumped over from Reddit and if I hadn’t read the comment about sh.itjust.works I probably would have no idea how to get started with Lemmy. Hopefully with more publicity there will be a more streamlined signup process a la new mobile apps or certain servers trending when you search for it.

      Didn’t see some of my old communities from Reddit on here yet but I guess it’s time to make them!

      Also - does anyone have any good alternatives to Youtube on the Fediverse? Is Odysee popular?

        does anyone have any good alternatives to Youtube on the Fediverse?

        Peertube would be the most popular. It works the same as Lemmy that there isn’t just one single server/instance that hosts all the videos. A popular one is tilvids.com but there are others

          I’m unique in this, but I firmly believe video creators should just make torrents, and post links to them from whatever site / forum they choose.

          Torrents have already solved the big static data problem, we only need a place (like here), where people can post links.

              Ya, but unfortunately only a tiny minority of seeders use webtorrents, and peertube still has to store every video locally. Because of that, peertube instances find that they can’t last long, because of the huge disk space required.

        Having to write a cover letter explaining why I’m a good fit for the instance.

        It’s not a difficult ask, but it’s going to turn a vast majority of potential users away from the service.

        I understand the need for it, but a typical user is going to be confused by:

        • Having to “sell” yourselves to some unknown individual, or group of individuals
        • Choosing an “instance”, when most users have never heard of such a thing, and don’t understand how a federated system operates
        • For the above: Understanding different instances and which one allows cross-instance posting
        • Simplicity. None of this is “simple” in terms of making a new account for a social media platform. This is unlike any mainstream platform out there.

        Again, I understand the need for all this. But your average user, which Lemmy desperately needs more of if it wants to become the safe haven for Reddit refugees, is going to be incredibly frustrated and dissuaded by the whole process.

      After being around here for a bit I get the idea of federation and all that, but its incredibly overwhelming when trying to create an account (Hell I still don’t know if I created my Mastodon or Lemmy accounts in the right place)

        I can’t help but feel like it lacks some level of transparency to how it works?

        I agree, which is actually kinda funny since it’s open source. The documentation helps some, but it’s a LOT of reading to do, and it still leaves a new user like me with questions- and I’m a software developer, with more technical knowledge than most. I have a feeling that someone without that technical background would find this VERY confusing to understand at a fundamental level.

        The big question that I still have, that should be readily apparent but isn’t: if I subscribe to a community that’s hosted on another instance, can I still post/like/comment there? I just tested it- you can. I notice now that the guide says:

        Lemmy will then fetch the community from its original instance, and allow you to interact with it.

        I think they could make it a lot clearer for a casual user if they reworded the “following communities” section to name it something like “joining communities,” and re-worded the first paragraph to something like this:

        After logging in to your new account, its time to follow communities that you are interested in. For this you can click on the communities link at the top of the page (on mobile, you need to click the menu icon on the top right first). You will see a list of communities which can be filtered by subscribed, local or all. Local communities are those which are hosted on the same site where you are signed in, while all also contains federated communities from other instances. You can also find more communities by going to the Lemmy Community Browser. You can join communities from any instance, regardless of which instance you created your account in, and once you’ve joined you can like, comment, and post in those communities.

        Lemmy is easier to get set up for us folks who aren’t as technical as we used to be. The biggest hurdle for me is for social networks like Twitter or IG where I know people irl who won’t be moving to mastodon probably ever.

          I don’t think I would change anything… Learning jetpack compose, and signal-based reactivity, has been teaching me how to be a better UI designer, and I’ve been applying its principles to the other apps I develop. Its very opinionated, for performance reasons, whereas a lot of front end frameworks like react can let you do things in 1000 different ways.

          I’d been wanting someone else to build a native android app for lemmy for a while by then, but when it became clear no one else was going to, I scraped out time from other lemmy work for a month to build it.

              That’s fair tbh, it may be wise to do that. Even if other instances still allow NSFW or suggestive content in general (such as art, medicine, gore, etc), explicit porn in particular has high legislative expectations.

              Legislators don’t even understand the internet - they’re definitely not going to accept that beehaw.org or lemmy.ml loading ifuck.butts content isn’t actually beehaw.org’s responsibility if that’s where the users are registered, where ifuck.butts content is frequently displayed.

              I suspect that porn subs may end up federated with each other though, and it just means Lemmy users shouldn’t be horny on main (ie have separate Lemmy acc for this fed and that one). Otherwise they’d struggle to be discoverable and would each require their own login.

              (also, funny joke if somebody creates ifuck.butts so my comment becomes a discovery portal for them lol)

                unfortunately .butts isn’t a real gTLD

                well, unless someone here has ~ 6.5k$ annually (i think) & can get icann on board

    We still need a good mobile app for Lemmy. I tried using the Jebora one, and its scrolling speed is abysmal.

    Silver lining, I am looking forward to all the new things getting developed for lemmy and the like when they can’t make things for Reddit anymore. Their loss is our gain.

      Interesting. I’m using Jerboa right now and while I have a few complaints, scrolling speed isn’t one of them. I wonder if it’s a phone specific issue.

        the only shrinking issue I have is, when there are images in the comments - then it flickers all the time

        Right now I’m just using the web interface on mobile - selfhosted though so I got to change the theme to dark.

            Dark Reader made Firefox on Android so unbelievably slow for me that I disabled it out of frustration, and have just been blinding myself rather than waiting 10+ seconds for Firefox to load sites that Chrome loaded near instantly.

              ehhh I don’t use firefox tho I use Kiwi Browser with dark reader extension. It works very very fast.

              I would use firefox but firefox is kinda slow on my phone and I dislike slow.

                TIL about Kiwi Browser, thanks for this, I think I could like this a lot. Firefox’s mobile extension support is extremely limited, so this is a breath of fresh air.

                  The only warning I can give you cuz it bothers some people around me is that it’s centralized and closed source. It’s also not privacy oriented. Other than that I like it more than Firefox in all respects.

      I’m using jerboa right now, agreeded. It’s not the worst experience but there’s definitely improvements to be made.

      There’s a real opportunity in transitioning existing reddit clients to access Lemmy instead. Keep the user base, change the platform.

      Mlem for iOS is a beta still in early development but it’s buttery smooth on my phone. If the dev sees this, I appreciate your work a lot!

      Tbh I prefer just good old firefox browser over jerboa. The site is optimized pretty well for mobile

      Well kbin.social and beehaw.org have both gotten the hug of death over the last 25 minutes so that’s fun haha. Might have to hop over to a smaller instance to spread the load out

        I don’t really know how this system works but if I’m on one instance looking at stuff on another does that help at all? Is stuff cached to help spread out the load?

          Yeah, like I’m on sh.itjust.works and subscribed to this community, so when people make posts on !memes@lemmy.ml those get synced and cached on sh.itjust.works, so whenever people on this server scroll through memes it puts load on sh.itjust.works instead of on lemmy.ml.

          That’s the impression I got from the devs and admins here, but I’m not certain my impressions are correct or what kind of impact external users posting to beehaw communities impacts beehaw’s instance

            Our current coding work should help, but ya it’s not been an easy time for us server admins, when reddit fucks up so bad that half the site tries to join the fediverse.

              I’m part of your woes, so sorry, but at the same time don’t stress! I’m good with server instability. I do tech professionally, with contracts. You ain’t signed no contracts so feel free to tell us to fuck off so you can sleep and relax.

              I think partly the problem is that they are trying to join the largest instances… There are many smaller ones but people think they are not as good.

    Once, Apollo shuts down, this site will get hit hard. I look forward to it and want to make as many posts as I can to increase the level of activity.
