The UI is actually quite nice, with pretty good looking themes. There is a distinction between "global" (known network), "local" (your instance), and "social" (mostly people you follow), as well as "recommended" timelines. Features like channels I might explore some time in the future, so currently cannot say much about them.
Onboarding works quite nice with how you are being guided through filling in a profile, selecting a first few people to follow and writing a first post.
My Lemmy profile page shows my Calckey account, for those of you who wish to follow me. 😁

in reply to Cyclohexane • • •looking at Reddit, HN, Lemmy, and lotide, it seems like there's a definite link aggregatorness that these sites/networks share that other sites/networks don't have. each post is structured in the same way: title, link (to an external website, to an uploaded piece of media, to itself), optional text. the feed is a simple list of posts, with no content displayed besides the title, poster, community it was posted to, and maybe a small preview. people can influence the order in which these posts appear through up and down votes. each community is semi-independently run and focused on a specific topic. comments are invariably displayed as a tree, and are subject to the same vote system as the posts
the content doesn't necessarily have to be links to external sites, but the interface is optimized for those and uploaded media and plain text posts are treated the same as external links
now compare this to Calckey, Akkoma, Mastodon et al. the interface is built around text posts, displaying them in their entirety. even if the post is only a link, or has media atta

now compare this to Calckey, Akkoma, Mastodon et al. the interface is built around text posts, displaying them in their entirety. even if the post is only a link, or has media attached, it is treated the same as a text post ux-wise. no structure is imposed on the posts, so people can just submit them into the aether, rather than picking a community to post to first. posts are displayed in reverse chronological order, and there is no mechanism to influence what order the posts appear to others

every community on Lemmy is followable on other fediverse platforms. this one is @fediverse@lemmy.ml, and you can follow it and receive new posts to here just like any other account you follow! you won't be able to up/downvote, but you can post here by mentioning @fediverse@lemmy.ml in your post. the first line of your post will be the title, and everything after that will be the body
