Honestly, kind of but maybe not really. I mean, yes there are improvements of course, but a bunch of them aren’t very visible, and of course I understand that. It just feels very stable.

It kind of just works, for the most part, which is a good thing - minus this bug which has been fixed over a month ago but I guess is not live yet on every instance: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues/1968 because I still run into this bug, and it’s still annoying unfortunately.

Outside of that, there’s not really too much going wrong for me to notice any huge improvements.

edit: Oh, it’s because 0.19.0 UI has not had a stable release yet (nor has 0.19.0 server), once that releases as long as there aren’t many regressions I won’t really have any more complaints about Lemmy (other than maybe the non-SEO-friendly URLs).

I don’t think so. The amount of doom on lemmy is insane, this isn’t a very fun place. Comments using ableist slurs are upvoted. The meme communities are just a facade for more dooming. I swear this site is full of people that get off knowing they’re making someone else feel bad.

One thing that I’ve noticed as someone trying to wean myself off of Reddit: Lemmy just feels more chill. Like no I don’t have to open it every few minutes and doomscroll, it’s going to be a lot slower coming than the firehouse that is Reddit.

Tbf I don’t think that’s a design as much as it is just smaller, but it still feels nice.
