One of the great things about Lemmy is that you can control your user experience. No algorithms, no “suggestions” being forced on you, no ads, no data mining, no spez/Musk/Zuck. So curate my Lemmy space heavily and enjoy the peace and quiet and slow pace. R*ddit was my only social media for years so Lemmy is similar enough to that to be familiar and useful, but different enough to be worth using.

I saw that Boost will require personal and financial info, location etc. It turned me off, tbh. At least the other Lemmy apps don’t do that.

A lot of improvements, but some weird problems. Jerboa finally allowed me to log in but not much else. Connect is working better, but won’t allow me to reply to one particular post (“incorrect language” or something). The browser version and wefwef are slow and glitchy - my comment about birds ended up in a conversation about Lemmy apps. I don’t know anything about tech stuff but I get the impression that people are working very hard to fix all the issues. And the spezidus wouldn’t be making things easy. Looking forward to a bigger better Lemmy!

Jerboa is almost unusable for me at the moment. A lot of crashes, pages not loading, messages not sending etc. But I know that’s inevitable at times. Restarting my phone seemed to make it worse. But I know you guys are on it! 👍

Yes, I got that. But how do you connect to them?

Also, I know it’s typed out somewhere, but I can’t find it and couldn’t understand it anyway. Could someone explain to me as if I’m technologically useless and just a bit dense generally, how to connect with communities on other instances? Something about copying links and pasting them somewhere? I’m on jerboa if that means anything.

Pretty much everything has a bit of lag on my end. Not complaining, I understand why, just letting you know.

It seems a bit laggy to me, but that’s hardly surprising. I hope we can form a good little community of outsiders here! 👍
