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!

    Feels like this might be the fediverse flavor that sticks with me. I tried mastodon and diaspora, but they didn’t stick. Didn’t help that I hated Twitter and Facebook.

    This feels chill so far. I like it

      Yeah, I was never a Twitter user so I didn’t “get” Mastodon. Lemmy speaks the language I understand and now I really dig it. It’s super cool that I can chill over here and still interact with people on Mastodon to some extent.

        Honestly thats the bit thar warps my mind the most. The federation jusr made sense to me, its like email. The dact that many of the apps are at least somewhat interoperable. Now thats just magic.
