I wanted to get a pulse check on how new members are finding the general experience/website. Is it more confusing than Reddit or are you finding the instance system a better way of doing things as it can give you more freedom of where you choose to create an account?
I’m a new user myself but have found the experience to remind me of Reddit back in the day, lol. It’s definitely giving me old-school yet modern vibes and it’s great to see something that isn’t Reddit growing in popularity!
Yes. To add to this, if an instance suddenly changes its rules (e.g. in response to the influx of new users), I have to either adhere to those rules, or abandon my old account. I think allowing migration should be a priority.
There’s an open issue for migration (export/import) so it’s on the roadmap. But looks like it hasn’t been high priority yet
