So, first day of Lemmy and so far I’m enjoying it. I’m looking through communities and seeing what I’d like to follow or not.

Criticism (hopefully constructive) that I do have:

• I miss the random niche subreddit side of things, but I’m not sure if that’s as a result of lack people on the platform, or the UI not promoting that style of thing much.
• I am missing a good iPadOS client. I’m currently using the Web UI, which works well enough, but it’d be great to have a more native app.
• It seems strange that I can’t have a One True Fediverse Identity where my mastodon identity is the same as my lemmy identity and vice versa. I note that Takahē has started refocusing into more of an identity broker for ActivityPub and less of an online experience, so maybe it will be the one true unifying identity.

On the plus side:

• There are a lot of fun general communities on here.
• People are really nice, in general, and this doesn’t seem to be changing, compared to the histories I’ve been browsing
• I really like markdown as a way to post, and it seems to work ok from my iPad

All in all, it’s been a positive 24hrs, I might give an update after a week or two.

Hi! Good luck with your ASD screening, I hope you get some progress with it.

When you say you prefer Lemmy over Discord… is it Discord in particular you have issues with? Or chat programmes in general? I generally have no problems with chat systems, but I find Discord overwhelming too.
