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!

    There’s a learning curve with “how do I know which instance to join?” and then “how do I find communities from other instances?” But I’m getting the hang of it.

    What it needs most is a UI overhaul. If Apollo came to the fediverse it would be a game changer.

      How do I choose an instance? I’ve made accounts of same name on Lemmy.ml, beehaw, and here. Which one I use, and what do I with the others?

        I think you can just use whichever one you find most convenient, I would wager lemmy.ml would be your best bet as it’s the most active instance. The other accounts I think you could just keep as a backup in case the main lemmy.ml instance goes down.
