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!

    Thank you.

    New thing I don’t like: I could not reply to you from my inbox. I had to go back to this thread, start from the top, find my own comment again, and then respond to you. The button in my inbox that looked like a reply button just marked the message as read instead.

    Also I just found the search, the icon looks nothing like a search icon.

      Yes, I think it is meant to symbolise a list of instances or topics. I agree that a standard search icon would fit better, though. Took me a while to work that out.

      Look 2 buttons to the right of the impostor button, the box with dots in it.

        Oh, I see it now. My brain must have seen the one chat bubble and ignored all others. Surely that would make more sense to be a bell icon or something.

          Or an eye or something, yeah. I had the same problem until I got used to it.
