  • Hey, sorry for the delay!

    I’m happy to report that after updating to version 166, the issue almost disappeared! Image posts flicker no more!

    Only flickering I’m experiencing is with community/user icons, and this does affect all views. But that’s such a small bug that I wouldn’t consider it as high priority…

    (Image posts flickering itself was in my opinion a huge deal, especially for people suffering from epilepsy etc.)

    Wdym? The community here is already much better than on Reddit. Same post there was met with little notice, and all of that was like “stop shilling, loser”.

    I believe I’m quite settled here already, using Jerboa on my phone. One thing that could help get more people here in my opinion is promotion of the “lemmy” “brand”. Now when I try to lookup the lemmy keyword on my search engine, I have to scroll waay below the first results (which is not a behavior of most users). Why isn’t e.g. the “official” app called simply Lemmy, but instead “Jerboa”? I assure you this is confusing for many people.

    Anyways, thank you for welcoming me! I see great potential in Lemmy (compared to e.g. Mastodon, which is dependent on specific people and not communities).

    TLDR: Met with awesome community already, but the app is a little bit confusing.

    For me two things come to mind:

    • X’s influence - they are doing some stupid $hit (like removing ability to block people). So I guess my brain decided it is fed up with corpo apps.
    • degradation of content quality - I feel like Reddit has served it’s purpouse, and I struggle to find something funny and/or informative. When I opened Lemmy for the first time, at least 4 interesting articles came on my feed.
