Still trying to figure it out. Tried the Connect app because it had good reviews, but I got more errors than not. Just started on Jerboa and seems way friendlier. Now trying to rebuild my feed.
Just like when starting in Reddit, gaybros is my first stop!
I like it more than Discord, which a lot of subs have been directing people to. Nothing wrong with Discord - it’s great for live chat and whatnot - but I don’t find it to be a good reddit alternative. Every time I drop in I feel like I’m walking into the middle of a conversation with no context.
I love the post-and-reply paradigm with threaded comments, so Lemmy feels like a much better fit for me. Makes it much easier to casually browse and consume content, and participate in a more asynchronous manner.
I’m glad it’s not just me! It seems like everyone is all about Discord and I just can’t wrap my head around it. Another thing that drives me nuts is that every server has a different set of hoops to jump though before you can see or do anything, and some of them are really strange.
Hello bros, how you liking lemmy?

I find Discord absolutely unuseable for the same reasons as you. I feel obligated to read 300 messages before replying, and I just cannot be bothered.
