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
If you know how to use greasemonkey there is a script to make lemmy look more like old.reddit here Personally, it fixed a lot of the UI issues for me.
What do you mean by 3? you shouldn’t need authorisation to join a federated community.
It says “Subscription pending”
ahh, I think this is because lemmy.ml is down all the time from the load right now. if you unsubscribe and resubscribe when lemmy.ml is back it might fix it.
I think it might be IPV6 related.

oh wow that’s strange. I cannot imagine what they must have done in the nginx config to do that. I guess there isn’t anything you can do until lemmy.ml fixes their IPv6 then. I just checked my logs and lemmy.ml isn’t federating with my instance anymore. Thats very bad! Also explains the lack of content i’ve been seeing.
EDIT: Ok nevermind, lemmy.ml is federating with me. I just connect to it over IPv6
EDIT2: If I keep refreshing the IPv6 page it does sometimes load. I wonder what happened.
