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 like it here a lot more than Mastodon and its so much easier to go and subscribe to other communities at other nodes/servers also to engage in other servers as well. Mastodon was a little more complicated, you do that but it was a little fincky IMO and of course I love Lemmy more than Reddit and I hope it blows up also stays that way too lol (RIP all the servers)

      I tend to agree. Just not sure comparing Lemmy to Mastodon is fair, since they seems like different platforms (eg. Reddit vs. Twitter).

        I could see why you’d say that. The comparison I was trying to make was more so towards how easy it is to take advantage of the Fediverse in Lemmy than in Mastodon. At Mastodon, I wanted to interact with other servers and their timelines, it seemed to me it was a convoluted mess rather than seeing what I want to see.
