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!
New user and reddit refugee here! The instance system isn’t as straightforward as something like reddit where all of the content exists in the same place, but once I understood how the system works (via the first few posts I saw after opening the Jerboa mobile app for the first time) I got signed up on an instance that ISN’T lemmy.ml and I’ve just began surfing in earnest! Thanks to the community that’s made this possible!
Good choice picking a different instance than the devs! Federation is the future 👍
I tried a few and I none worked but then I found the one with the most apt name ever.
