Dont forget to do your part by telling other people not on lemmy to try it. Its content has improved a lot so ask them to try it again if they didnt find communities they liked before. It will help the continued growth :)

I don’t know, I found the learning curve on Reddit very weird. In so many ways, it was just a real downgrade from what I was used to, at least with respect to the actual design. But then, I think the switch to flat forum layouts (eg things like Discourse) was a huge step backwards, and having that, but also a bazillion of them in the same place, and a flat view that shuffled them all together just seemed overwhelming and impossible to navigate.
Going from that to “that, but they’re different websites again” honestly feels less confusing to me.
Nested forums are just so super to flat forums in every way, that I feel like the latter only holds on due to nostalgia.
And then we’ve got Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the likes of Pinterest, which have such backwards “dark pattern” UI elements, I feel like Lemmy isn’t actually as difficult to master as people say it is.
