I really like the UI. The sign up process was a little rough though. The idea of the different servers and signing up via those servers was a little jarring at first.

Couldn't agree more. I actually signed up on a difference instance a couple days ago, but never got a confirmation email or anything and thought I just had to wait for a manual process. (the instance had me answer questions they said were needed to be answered to join) I got tired of waiting and didn't know how to message anyone about it, so I just signed up here. It was super quick and easy, but the overall process is confusing for sure. Excited for the platform though, I think once you get past the learning curve it's very promising.

Yeah, Lemmy does have a rather steep learning curve, but once you are past it the platform does seem very promising as a reddit replacement.

Reddit was known to have a steep learning curve as well. Weโ€™ll get there.

I feel ya. It took me an entire day to find a server that would process my sign up.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I agree. The sign up process is really confusing for new users. Maybe it's just something people will get used to. Mastodon is the same way and non-tech people have started using it.
