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 guess it depends on how big instances get. The lemmy world instance currently hosts the casual uk community and its picking up traction across other geographic communities also.

    I think migrating communities will likely find the communities in instances that are the “primary” versions, we just need those to reach critical mass.

    I think the big risk is instances going dark or holding communities ransom in future. All of casual uks content being hosted in one instance it’s crazy dangerous for the longevity of that community. (Unless I’m not understanding quite how it works)
