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!
I’m new to lemmy but not to federation. I found it easy to understand and I like the system way more than Reddit, but I still have a lot of questions and desire to improve things that I dislike. My main problem is the smallness that prevents niche communities from thriving. But other than that I’ve been surprised at how active and big it seems to be in general. It might slow down later after the reddit drama passes by and people start forgetting. We’ll see.
