I'm on Connect, I hope the UI gets better, Lemmy has a lot of potential but it needs work
We'll have a ton of high quality options soon. Lots of the Reddit app devs are working on Lemmy apps. I wouldn't be surprised if almost all the ui code can be reused
Yeah, I really wish at least one of the major third party Reddit apps was able to launch their Lemmy version today, bit of course I understand it takes time
Try wefwef (the name sucks, idk why they picked it)
It's a web app that's really clean looking and smooth. Wish they would add a top (day/week/month) sort though for postings
It was weird using Reddit Is Fun like I always do then it just suddenly stopped.
I can't create a community. I click the button and nothing happens. Any idea why? I'm trying to recreate a community from Reddit that really helped me when I was in a dark place.
It has become muscle memory for me to open the app. My phone seems so empty now.
Same. Hopefully a good Lemmy app can take the old place Reddit is Fun had
oddly boost still works for me right now
Relay seems to still be working for me. Also, my personal shreddit app is still working.
I suspect reddit are leaving them operational so reddit can bill them at the end of the month.
Slide refugee that has been here for a few weeks. I like it here!
Are this active users? (Commenting/posting) or just traffic?
I ask as I spent time in different servers looking for one I liked before making an account, so it took a while before I became an 'active user'
I'm just glad I found a server that allowed me to register. Been trying for weeks. Lemmy.ml is closed for registration. Lemmy.world just spins when you hit the register button. Another instance just said my registration was pending.
I want to create a community for my local city but when I click the button after entering the name, description, logo, etc. Nothing happens. Do I need to do something first?
I'm really not ready. My Connect for Lemmy app is renamed to Lemmy is fun and is using the rif icon, it's hard to let go.
Thank you for your warm welcome.
I never used a reddit ap, nor have I moderated, but I've watched the happenings and been incredulous at Huffman's (and subsequently Reddit's) behavior.
We are still going on infinity.
I just joined today and could use some assistance finding communities that I'd fit into. I'm into Cybersecurity and all matters of computing. If anyone has a suggestion please reply and thanks for having me :)
I'm not subbed to any, but I see a TON of them as a scroll through All. You'll be in good company!
Welcome!
https://lemmyverse.net/communities This is a good start in search for communities. You can enter your home instance(in your case lemmy.ca) by clicking on the house symbol at the top right and then search for communities like "security".
When you click on one, it'll automatically lead you to the adress based on your home instance and you can immediately subscribe to them form there.
https://lemmy.ca/c/cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works could be of interest for example
What app is most like Bacon Reader? I'm on Connect but feeling a little lukewarm so far
That's your best bet at the moment. Liftoff was another decent option but latest update doesn't see the lemm.ee instance for some reason. Things will get better on the app front in a month or 2 when Boost and Sync go live.
Lemmy is the Future! :D
Welcome
Hi there! What are some good subs for anyone trying to stay away from nsfw?
you can literally turn of nsfw when you make your sign in on a lemmy server.
Yeah there's a checkbox for it under profile settings. There's a ton of great communities, I've subscribed to around 40. Once you get a good set of communities can just set your default to "Subscribed" in profile settings. That will be your front page. You don't really want to use "Local" because it may not be very active. "All" has a lot of stuff in it you may not want to see. There's a few communities where I don't ever want to see their content. See lemmyverse.net for community info. There's a lot of good communities on kbin as well (you can access those from Lemmy and vice versa).
"Migrants" is fine. "Refugees" makes light of people in our community who are actually suffering the extreme hardship of being forced from their home with nothing.
Hey, there is no intention of making light of anybody, but if my use of that word bothers anybody then I don't mind changing it in my post.
If you cave everytime someone gets offended, you won't be able to write anything. Ignore people like that that are purposefully misconstruing your intentions just to make themselves feel better about their boring lives.
They don't always mean it that bad, but often enough you'll find they're ill-mannered trolls who'll ruin your day if you engage. So yeah.
