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!

Agreed. I'm finding a lot more stuff to do here.

One thing I do miss a bit from the Spezhole is the ability to just mindlessly scroll through all the links from all the communities I'm subscribed to. If that is here already, I haven't found it yet. But I am enjoying the vibe quite a bit more.

I've been trying to do that here as well. I looked through my subscriptions on reddit and used browse.feddit.de to find equivalent communities. My feed is okay now, there's still a lot of meta content about lemmy, which I find a bit boring. It alls takes a bit getting the hang of subscribing to a new community through the interface
