I joint today because Kbin is very slow to browse, so I figured I create an account here, but I don't get why there is a lemm.me and lemmy.world which both look identical but it seems I can't log in there using my username here?
They are different instances. That's how the fediverse works.
You need to create an account on each instance you want to access the federation from.
I'm only just starting the last week or so, but I feel like because it's a bit smaller there's better discussion. Most minor annoyance with it though is some quality of life things not being there like RES (browsing everything with J + K etc.) and that multiple times a day it gives me Server Error / Cloudflare error pages.
Pretty good. haven't even been to reddit after I switched!
It's almost entirely replaced reddit for me, but I only ever really browse tech subs.
Successful! A full reddit replacement!
The cons is the Sync app (or maybe it's deeper), comments seem to be under the wrong parent threads?
To be fair it's still in beta and that's a known issue, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon.
Not very good. Many communities are just too small for any meaningful stuff, the UI is ugly, the software's buggy, and Lemmy (and tbh, the whole Fediverse) sometimes feels like a political echo chamber, only favoring a certain side.
I'm on Voyager (via the app store) and it is wonderful (and free)!
I agree that some communities are quite empty, but I found that the techn savy communities are quite large and well maintained (selfhosted, linux and such).
Although the read is arguably shorter, i have more time in my day as a result of that. Not missing reddit at all ATM.
Sync user so it looks and basically feels the same. Just the volume of posts is missing. My other issue is I used a lot of smaller communities and they haven't migrated.... Yet. So it's hard to get answers to things without going back to the /r which I try to avoid.
I don't think I'm on my phone as much but I do miss /r/BlackPeopleTwitter. I bet the posts about the Montgomery Brawl we're top notch.
