I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?
I’m a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It’s definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it’s great to see something that isn’t Reddit growing in popularity!
There was a guy that created a wrapper to allow Reddit clients to support viewing Lemmy content. Would love to see these developers have their apps continue to have life with what seems like a small change
Edit: Here is a link to the reddit post. Tried to go to the Lemmy link but Jerboa wouldn’t load it.

Edit 2: here’s the Lemmy link anyways. Maybe it works for you guys but it crashes Jerboa for me still. Don’t know what it points to but it was in the post

God I hope the RIF developer ports over the Lemmy. I am Using Jerboa, and while it’s promising, it is obviously in early development, and I want all of the RIF features back.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Hope someone either adopts that or just goes to the effort to update their apps. Suspect we’ll hear from a dev or two over the next week or two as they monitor the ongoing situation and make decisions about where they want to go moving forward.
You don’t have an alternative link to that? Reddit’s gone all “this is unreviewed content, use the app” on me
I tried it earlier and Jerboa crashed on me. Maybe you’ll have luck:
