I’m curious how much people are interested in using this? I see posts are fewer, especially if compared to reddit.

Maybe it doesn’t help that there isn’t one production mobile app, but a few personal/opensource ones out there?

Everyone here still over in r/homelab a lot?

      Seconded. My homelab is stable and I have nothing to contribute at the moment, but that doesn’t mean I’m not committed to staying the hell off of Reddit.

    I’m in the same boat as @shnizmuffin@lemmy.inbutts.lol, lab has been nice and stable and have nothing to contribute as of yet.

    At the beginning of the migration I was popping in and out of r/homelab, but as it stands now I haven’t visited there in ages!

    I’ve been avoiding reddit, but when I go visit, I’m usually on /r/homelab or /r/techsupport (or something similar); most of the other communities have rotted away, and aren’t nearly as good as they used to be.

    I use Jerboa on my Android, and it’s been quite adequate for lemmy.

    As for the community, bluntly, reddit is overrun with repeat questions, so if you’re a regular there, you see the same or similar stuff posted constantly by other users. So far, here, with the community being nominally smaller, repeats are generally more limited in frequency. You also see more of the same names popping up more often and you can mostly follow people’s homelab journey. That’s nice.

    I don’t hate reddit, though I hate their API rules and the decisions they’ve made regarding how to handle it… I just, don’t see it as the future. There may have been a time where I did see reddit as the future of this type/style of discussion, but it’s definitely not anymore. Reddit will continue to hold a special place in my mind for what it was when it was a good platform, but I’m waiting for everyone that’s still over there to catch up to the evolution that is lemmy.

      I just tried Jerboa for Lemmy on my phone. It immediately crashes, 😕. I read the part that says we’re busy working on all the other Lemmy stuff, so learn compose and fix it yourself 😳.

      I developer, I am not.
