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!

Still a little confused about how instances work and subscribing. But other than that I like it, not toxic like reddit. Feel like I just need to familiarize myself more

I'm a reddit user hoping to transition to Lemmy. I couldn't sign up on lemmy.ml, so I signed up on SDF.

It definitely needs the rough edges smoothed out if we want to see wider adoption.

Better UI, I just wish the iOS app was more mature than it currently is. Still very usable in the browser.

It's really interesting and I think has a huge potential to work out really well.

All these little instances being able to interact with each other seamlessly is really cool. It's seeming quite easy to curate communities I'm interested in and I think once it's a little more fleshed out, there'll be go-to communities for certain things which everyone from all instances uses. It's really cool.

I've been lurking pretty much on reddit with my 12 year old account, but the new experience here is pretty much ok. The usual teething problems on how to find what is manageable.

There's not a single middle eastern sub, and I doubt there ever will be๐Ÿ˜ž
