- Get bored.
- Open Reddit.
- Remember I’m not using reddit today.
- Open Lemmy.
- Go do something else.
- Go to number 1.
I ditched Reddit a few weeks ago for other reasons (I am going full FOSS/decentralised services). My Reddit account was 11 years old, I don’t miss it at all.
I suppose I might just be a crazy person, but this seems as good a place to ask as any.
Any reason my upvotes (& downvotes for that matter) don’t seem to stick? Just made an account and was scrolling thru this thread, upvoted some comments. And within like 2 seconds, the blue upvote highlight disappeared and the comment score went back to what it was before I had interacted. Same with downvotes.
Imma try it on desktop soon.
i get this a lot randomly as well, on any platform. i assume it’s just a bug, sometimes hours later it’ll have worked on the server side, sometimes not. very annoying
Cool beans, thanks for responding.
It does seem to register ultimately even if seems to reverse on the front-end. In, other news how are you liking the switch over from reddit?
Trying to figure out the Lemmy system, it’s a bit obtuse at first glance. But as someone mentioned in another thread, that may just be a feature not a bug.
Haven’t deleted my account on reddit, but did replace the sync icon on my phone with jerboa. and just been avoiding old.reddit on the desktop. I feel like the kid in starship troopers stomping on bugs yelling “I’ll do my part!” (minus the animal cruelty, of course)
Jerboa (mobile app for Lemmy) is really great so far! Feels basically the same to me as Boost was. The sign in process is a little odd (top left hamburger menu, accounts, add account).
I’m staying here, I’m done with Reddit.
I’m sorta looking forward to how lemmy/beehive/fediverse system improves. It’s kinda exciting. Like sure things are a bit rough around the edges for now but so was reddit for a long time. Seems like there’s a lot of people working to improve and make it better, and the communities are actually pretty big! I’m excited to get off reddit, that shit was getting stale and I’m hoping that this “reset” will also help build new communities that aren’t just reposting the same shit over and over again.
Yeah I’ve been enjoying that aspect too, finding posts from communities I’ve never heard of before.
I never paid for Reddit, but I’ve already donated to Lemmy.world (mastodon.world) and the Jerboa app. I’ve done the same for signal. Just a couple of coffees worth, but I see myself doing it from time to time as I remember.
I’m just so pumped about the way things are growing here, and think this federated donation-based model for a Reddit-like app is fantastic.
i just replaced the Reddick icon with lemmy
That were first two days here, but now I’m invested, people started to share more and suddenly i catch myself scrolling Lemmy for 15 minutes instead of working
I wish I could find an enjoyable experience, but it’s tough to use Lemmy the way I want on iOS. I’m sticking with it though and hoping tooling catches up soon.
Try Mlem! It’s still in Testflight (beta version for iOS), but you can create testflight account and download it for free. It will also help creators of the app find bugs and whatnot! I’m using it rn and it’s nice, they’re very passionate about it! if not mlem you can also open Lemmy on safari and then make webapp by tapping share icon and then choosing “add to home screen”. It will create bookmark on home screen that dont have browser interface and it’s working really good actually.
I’m currently doing both of those, but neither suit my preferred Reddit workflow.
I want to see fresh posts from across the entire fediverse. I don’t care about things I’m subscribed to.
Safari iOS will auto refresh the “hot” page and it’s unreadable because it’s constantly scrolling as new posts are loaded in.
Mlem doesn’t allow you sort All posts by Hot at all :(
