I really want to like lemmy, but it’s difficult. I’m new to all this fediverse thingy, and I might just have old habits and perceptions how things should work but… I keep seeing the same posts more than once, iOS experience is not that good really, sometimes I see dead posts from 2 years ago for some reason, despite having subscribed to like 30 communities there aren’t that many new posts to read.

Part of it probably that subreddits had millions of people so a lot of posts every minute, but it still feels underwhelming.

It’s not as doomscrolly. Maybe I should find something else to waste my time on haha

What is your experience with lemmy? Maybe I just do things wrong. Let me know

    Yeah, I try to share this to help people get it…

    GUIDE:

    • don’t go to a community on the server that it’s on (e.g. https://lemmy.ml/c/asklemmy) [NO login]

    • do go to a community on the server you’re on (e.g. https://lemmy.one/c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml) [YES login!]

    everything else works the same using the instance-to-instance federation, but only as long as you use YOUR lemmy instance, not the one that the Community lives on.
