    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.

      Ah, a fellow rat appreciator. Welcome! (Also, I don’t think there is an official Lemmy app, or indeed official Lemmy anything. The whole point is decentralisation)
