You can see the remote community once you search and you can see all posts in that community, from your server.

On Mastodon, even after you subscribe, you CANNOT see old posts on your instance, unless you put each post url individually in the search bar.

So, not the same at all.

I have Jerboa, Liftoff, and Thunder installed. They all have different bugs or issues…what bothers me a lot currently is not being able to hold on an image and do copy image for instant paste, without download -_-

It is also not easy to open the current post/comment/whatever in a browser.

After so many years, the way RIF works is just second nature.

Well, JerboaIsNotYetFunToUse =P

I think the biggest problem with that is all the people complaining about “meta” trying to get into the fediverse (don’t get me wrong, I am not a meta user).

Because the protocol is open, it is impossible to stop it. If meta does make a product with better UI, even if they don’t change the underlying protocol, guess what the majority of people will be using?

It isn’t working perfectly, I tried following !programming@programming.dev from mastodon and couldn’t.

+1 for Fedilab It could use some improvements, but I am quite happy with it being able to look at multiple servers and follow different user from a single place.

Subpar UI really is what kills almost everything…

I can’t be tired of saying how much I hate mastodon’s default UI, where you can’t pull posts from users simply because you server doesn’t synchronize (what’s wrong with pulling it straight from the original server)? Imagine if you subscribed to a community on Lemmy and it only showed posts AFTER you subscribed…

Or the follow menu that says “please copy and paste this on your app”… Really? If you check docs.joinmastodom…something it even says “just type your username@domain and we will do a remote follow”

I think Lemmy apps will evolve faster and show others what is needed to progress quickly. This is natural when considering how Lemmy users interact with each other.

Only app I was able to use. Waiting for a LiF clone.
