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!

I’ve enjoyed it a lot. There are some stuff that could fit better on screen, like when you look at the communities you’re subscribed to. Also, it would be nice to show your subscribed communities in alphabetical order.

Otherwise, I really enjoy the layout. It’s so simple

It's gonna take a while for the chaos of everyone migrating from Reddit to die down and for the place to become useable.

Also, Lemmy seems to have the same annoying friction Masto has where it's too easy to get redirected to another instance's webpage. You suddenly can't comment, like, or basically do anything and it's not immediately obvious why.

Once again suggesting federated social media start using a centralized frontend on one single website and just let the servers themselves be federated. You would go to the same one website, ex lemmy.com and log into your chosen instance, staying logged in even if you visit another instance.

Liking it a bunch! Chief complaint is how sometimes posting is instantaneous and sometimes it's a 45 second lag. Same with subscribing to communities. Seems to be the various *.ml communities.

I'm new, but any instances that made you think so?

So far, so good.

I am taking to it a bit quicker than Mastodon since I used Reddit more than Twitter.

Enjoyable so far. Feel a bit mystified, but it always takes me ages to figure out how to use new things.

Currently messing around with a browser extension to change the appearance and layout, as I had been finding that a bit of a hurdle.

I don't like the sidebar with rules. It removed the horizontal space from content if you keep scrolling.

Attention,

I remind you that to facilitate our work as administrators of the feddit.it instance, this is expressly reserved for Italian-speaking users. if your reference language is English, I therefore advise you to cancel your account and create one in an English-speaking instance

The only two communities that deal with medicine are these: https://lemmy.ml/c/medicine and https://mander.xyz/c/medicine In any case, you can monitor any new communities of your interest with the tool made available by the administrators of feddit.de https://browse.feddit.de/

Just did it.

I definitely do agree with the old school vibes, I wasn't really born in that era of the internet, but it really is giving me those vibes.

Overall though, I'm finding it pretty intuitive. Certainly better than other social medias. I've tried tumblr and Twitter, just can't get the hang of them yknow?

I definitely prefer reddits app ui though. But I might just be so used to it anything else just feels weird.

Very confused.. I have a direct link to a Linux community and can't figure out how to open it, or join it, or whatever I'm supposed to do with it in Jerboa. Discovery seems severely limited.
