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 agree with this. I’m not worried about that fracturing because it’s also pretty common on reddit. IE: the r/nba sub alone has more than a couple of spin-off subs.

      The difference is that you can just sub to them all easily and get all their content. It’s much harder on the Fediverse because you need to go to a lot more effort to do so and there is a lot of junk communities with few posts out there.

      Now if there was a clean, easy and fast way to sift though all the crud across multiple servers at once that would make a huge difference.

        I don’t see a lot of difference in terms of effort in searching for communities between here and reddit. I’m on Jerboa and I tried searching “teachnology” and “science.” The communities with the same and similar names popped up. That’s how I did it when I first got here and that’s how I do it in reddit.

        I have’t come across crazy mods/admins yet so I can’t comment on that. Which subs have them?
