I found it complicated at first (didn’t know which instance “will last”, where to register to not lose anything when instance admin decide to turn it down), but now it’s going good. We are missing mobile apps though.
What’s are your thoughts about Lemmy/kbin?
Not quite sure yet. I just joined Kbin, but am having trouble getting a handle on how to get my content viewable on other Fediverse instances (although remote content seems to load here just fine)
Lemmy for us was very broken, having many bugs. Kbin works a lot better, even though we had some issues with federation. Overall, the platform itself is quite nice and smaller communities are still fun!
Honestly, Jerboa in alpha is already better than the official reddit app for me. It’s no TPA reddit app, but the number of contributors (in github) has risen by a lot so I’m expecting/hoping development will pick up and it’ll get better fast.
I appreciate the community the most in here. They’ve been very welcoming and minimal, if any, toxicity.
Its great, but I still want comment sorting before I start to prefer it over webui.
Lemmy.ml needs to lose “default” status. I changed servers due to their load and inability to deal with it. They’re practically unusable right now.
They kind of have taken away their default status. They removed lemmy.ml from the list of instances on join-lemmy.org.
It seems to be working well enough. There will be growing pains, but I’m more than willing to live with some bugs & limitations while this all matures and grows. There’s a risk of losing all comment history & whole communities if an instance decided to shut down, but that’s true of centralized sites today. I’ll take the chance on something less centralized that one single asshole corporation can’t screw up.
