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!

    Honestly im loving the experience and even though its getting big because of all the reddit drama, im loving the small communities feel that it has for now. I have to say though that navigation cross instances its being a bit of a headache and i hope it gets better, much better. At least it should notify me that i am not able to see the rest of the comments on a post because of some settings of the instances / my account no? Or am i missing something?

      As far as I understand, if two instances are federatee, all posts and comments within shared communities are visible.

        Ok so if im not seeing other comments in the “straylight villa” instance of lemmy because my “lemmy.world” instance and that one are not “friends” right? So how would one solve this? Is it up to the mods of both instances to find an agreement or is it one sided where an instance can decide to be federated with another one or not?T hanks for your comment!
