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!

    It blows my mind how reddit is so mainstream now, when it was such a niche corner of the web when I joined it.

    Seems like the natural lifecycle of things. I’m excited to see what the next reddit is going to be

      This is so true. And another thing - it really does appear to be that once something goes “mainstream” in the internet-era, it loses some of its charm that made it a special place to begin with.

      Agreed. This was initially really daunting - figuring out how to get Lemmy going, but I am really liking it now!

      Like you said, it’s not going to be competing with the same number of users, but that’s probably a good thing?
