I am theoretically switching over from Reddit to Lemmy. Finding myself spending more time on Lemmy than on Reddit. Maybe it's because I am limited to using the desktop and can't aimlessly browse Reddit on my iPhone. Of late, the only subreddits I cared for were on sports and their matchday threads and r/watches. I found myself...
The apps currently in beta seem to be getting updated every day or so with improvements. I’m posting this using Memmy and it’s working fairly well. Both Memmy and Mlem need a bit more work before they’re ready to go to general release imho but the devs are doing great work.
I don’t think it will be long before we have fully- functional apps in the App Store.
Thanks everyone for all of the feedback we are getting! It's hard to rapidly develop and push new updates while maintaining 100% usability, so your feedback is crucial to making sure things work the way they are supposed to!...
Firstly, am I imagining things or did Memmy previously have swipe left / right interactions for upvote / downvote and reply, as these don't seem to be working for me.
Edit: ah it seems to work for comments but not posts?
Also, I'm seeing odd behaviour in the following user journey:
I opened the app and was in the Feed tab, and decided I wanted to view posts on the Memmy community, so I opened the Profile tab, and navigated to the the subscriptions page, and clicked on Memmy. I then clicked on the post I wanted to view (this User feedback thread) and nothing happened. However, when I navigated back to the Feed tab the post was open there.
That seems like strange UX to me and I'm not sure it's be design. Also, because there was apparently nothing happening whenI clicked on the post in the subscriptions tab I clicked it a few times, and this opened a whole bunch of the same post in the Feed tab so navigating back I had to work through the open instances to actually get back to the feed.
I hope I'm explaining that clearly.
Edit: I see the second issue I raised has already been mentioned in another post, apologies.
Edit: It seems like there's enough people that would prefer this didn't happen for some pretty good reasons. For that reason, I'm not going to move forward with this idea....
I honestly think Lemmy should not just be a clone of Reddit (either in terms of trying to match functionality exactly or filling it up with content from Reddit).
I get where you’re coming from in terms of trying to bolster the amount of content but truly I think Lemmy will do just fine with original content.
Apart from anything else, imho the quality of posts here on Lemmy that I’ve seen so far are, generally, quite good. Reddit seems to have been going downhill and I wouldn’t be surprised if the quality on Reddit gets worse following the current issues.
As someone else mentioned, maybe an instance or community could host that content but I think it would be important that users would be able to block it if they don’t want to see it.
I’ve just been using Lemmy in PWA mode on my iPad and have switched back to viewing it in a normal browser. The lack of a back button was too annoying. 😄
I’m certainly done contributing in any way. I’ve edited my past posts and comments so they all say fuck /u/spez and will now only use Reddit as a read only resource if I can’t find the answer to a question elsewhere.
ou might have seen that we've been defederated from beehaw.org. I think there's some necessary context to understand what this means to the users on this instance....
So maybe this is a silly question and I don’t understand things completely but does this mean as a lemmy.world member I should unsubscribe from beehaw communities and find similar communities elsewhere?
Thanks to a comment by @LargeHardonCollider , I checked and saw that 'Federation debugging' mode was enabled. I had enabled that when the server just started (less than 3 weeks ago) and I had an issue with federation....
Another update and possibly a solution for some case where posts were not properly deleted. Seems I jumped the gun on this and the restores haven't been intentional - at least not in this particular case....
I mass edited my posts to all say fuck /u/spez with redact and most appear to be back. I shall edit them again and if they come back I shall do it again and again. I can play this game as long as it takes.
I think it’s kind of funny, not sure if it was intended that way. Aren’t lemmings known for following each other, even if it is clearly not the right thing to do?...
I've been on Lemmy for 12 days apparently, feels like a lifetime! And I keep seeing posts about how it's too empty or there's no content outside of the Reddit drama or whatever....
I am also in a place that shares Father’s Day with the US but not Mother’s Day.
Where I am Mother’s Day is a month or so different I think and whenever I see loads of happy Mother’s Day posts on social media I think I’ve forgotten but then realise the posts are Americans 😂
The thing is this isn’t Reddit. I have seen a few posts relating to how Lemmy doesn’t work / look like Reddit and honestly, I don’t think it should.
I’m all for Lemmy utilising screen space effectively but please, let’s not feel it has to be a clone of Reddit. I kind of feel that if Lemmy was to look like Reddit then a lot of the toxicity from there would end up leeching over here and i honestly hope this community can be a better place for us all.
Looks great. Much more usable. One thing that might be nice to have at some point is a search feature, or a way to quickly access communities that you follow (may already be planned for the profile page I guess?).
Great work so far though and looking forward to more features in the future. 👍🏻
I’ve seen quite a few posts on here about how new user are finding Lemmy, but I was wondering how existing Lemmy users feel about horde of redditors descending on their site?...
I signed up for kbin before joining Lemmy but I honestly found kbin a bit confusing. Lemmy just seems a little easier to navigate imho. If Lemmy wasn’t here I’m sure I would have persevered with kbin but I’m happy with Lemmy so this will be what I stick with I think.

Is it illegal/poor taste to port content from Reddit over to Lemmy?
Edit: It seems like there's enough people that would prefer this didn't happen for some pretty good reasons. For that reason, I'm not going to move forward with this idea....

How has been your experience with iOS 17 so far?
For me it feels like a much smaller update, which has been rumoured for awhile. Sort of like iOS 11 or OS X Snow Leopard....
