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

    I know what you mean. The biggest issue I’m having is finding and subscribing to communities that are not a part of the instance I joined with.

    I kept seeing links that listed communities I was interested in subscribing to, but then it would ask me to log in, I’d put in my credentials, only for the log in to not work. I finally realized I had to make a new account with that instance, and then i could log in and join it. I don’t want to have to juggle between 3 or 4 accounts to enjoy content, plus much if it is duplicated as some instance are linked, but others are not.

    Also I use Jerboa to browse lemmy, don’t have a PC, and would rather use an app than my web browser(Brave).

      You don’t have to create an account for each instance. You hsve to get the link for the specific community you want to subscribe to/interact with and search for it within your home instance.
