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!

    Smaller groups means less activity, though. And that’s what’s keeping communities alive.

    I already wrote it in another comment, but I think subs should not be under instances in the hierarchy, but on the same level.

      Yeah, we need subs that can exist on multiple instances at the same time. Two subs on different instances should be to link up so all posts are shared between the two, and that they have the same mod team.

        So you’re not suggesting that all subs/communities would work like this but it could be a option right, a “cross-community” if you will, that is mirrored across different instances like a raid partition or something like that? Could be interesting!

          Exactly. And just have the two communities sync to each other using ActivityPub. I haven’t worked with fediverse code before, but it seems like it would work.
