    Good write-up.

    It took me a while until I got up to speed. The web ui was a lot easier to handle than old.reddit on a phone. Once I downloaded Liftoff, it was just like how Relay worked for me.

    Yea, the content hasn’t hit a critical mass, but I like being an early adopter again. I’m just surprised how fast Lemmy is moving. I haven’t felt the need to really browse Reddit in almost a fortnight now. Still missing some things. But I have hope for this place.
