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!

    Yeah there needs to be a little more user intent “modelling” (probably no more than just a quick sense check really) on some of the design decisions.

    I was thinking about suggesting a “watched instance” status that would contribute to a feed that sits between “all” and “subscribed”, so if I find an instance say mytown.org, then I can get a Watched feed like All but just every community for my town. This would differ from All which would allow federated communities such as arguments@farawaytown.net to appear in the feed.
