Why does Lemmy feel so fresh compared to Reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Yep, I try to upvote everything and comment as much as I can. I'm still confused about how to post to specific instances on Jerboa though. Like I'm typing the name but it's not showing up in the dropdown

The most discouraging thing that happened was that when I wrote a long and thoughtdul comment and press send, Jerboa gives me the "java type blabla" error, and I lost everything I typed. Then I don't wanna type it again and I just give up on commenting

Hopefully these issues will be fixed soon! As I understand it it's not even an issue with Jerboa specifically.

Damn, I don't have Reddit anymore so I can't vote or even see the upvote numbers on the comments. Can anyone give me the rundown? This is hilarious

You mean the big expansion pack they released a while back? It was incredible, the devs just dropped it one day out of the blue, all for free, nobody had asked for it but everyone was amazed by it.

Been replaying Into The Breach. One of the best turn based tactic games there is out there.

Comment sections getting mixed up on Lemmy. (lemmy.ml)
 

I'm trying to be very patient with the technical issues so far because I know scaling is not easy.

The bugs that jump out the most are:

  1. Sometimes Jerboa shows comments of a previously viewed post on a different post. If you comment, it'll go to the old thread. To avoid this, swipe down to force a refresh.

  2. SORT BY HOT doesn't work. (But you can sort by New, all instances)

  3. "Could not value type java something something", honestly this is when I wait a bit and just try again. I have no good workaround for this one.

I've been wanting to boycott Reddit for a long time, and the list of problems I had with it was very long. It took this API issue to finally get some community action.

But in short, Reddit is moving away from genuine community, and more towards fake astroturfed corporate content with manipulated comments and unabashed bot activity.

The front page of Lemmy is the same as it was yesterday, BUT that made me realize that I had an unhealthy addiction to Reddit, refreshing multiple times a day and doomscrolling never ending content (lemmy.ml)

I've gone a full week without Reddit and I'm realizing the sheer amount of time I wasted on that fucking site. I'm taking back control of my time, my mental real estate, and mindfulness. I don't need new content every single waking moment, checking the app multiple times a day. If I check Lemmy every other day, that SHOULD be the relationship I want with an app like this.

And if I'm really really bored, I'll check "All instances" and sort by New on Jerboa!

lemmy.ml is overloaded, use other instances instead in c/lemmy@lemmy.ml

There is a new announcement saying they upgraded hardware yet again

How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Wow I didn't know they were canning old.reddit.

why does Reddit want us to use the official app so badly? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] lvl100magikarp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

To them, loss of 3rd party users is insignificant because they're users they weren't able to monetize to begin with

Does anyone else feel more engaged with the community here compared to reddit? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I was just commenting that it feels like early 2000s internet. Reject modernity embrace tradition.

Is anyone here old enough to remember SomethingAwful and communities like that from the early 2000s? Lowtax drama aside, during its hayday the community was the source of so many OG memes. Here's hoping that Lemmy will have that nostalgic feeling.
