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 barely just started but it feels almost as natural as normal reddit.

    Lemmy federates Reddit better than Mastodon federates Twitter. Mastodon is confusing. But on Lemmy I can clearly see the relationship between instances, and I can use it all as one big system.

      It’s still a little hard for me to know the extent to which federation works on Lemmy. For example, when I select “All” in the filter at the top of the page, am I seeing all the content from instances that the main instance (in this case lemmy.world) is federating with?
