2 years agoI’ll always have some positive feelings for Reddit because I met my husband there, but the whole mentality here is so refreshing. I realize I mainly lurked on Reddit cause you’d get torn apart on subs for being new or not knowing the lingo or making a mistake cause you didn’t frequent it every day. Don’t think I’m gonna back pedal from the fresh start.
I’m trying things out on Mlem and may try switching to browser for a while to see if it’s better. As far as I can tell… I can’t save posts or comments, search for anything, block communities I don’t feel like seeing, see comments I’ve made, lots of posts repeat, can’t easily find communities, etc. afaik things are still pretty new, so that’s fine… but it’s not SUPER usable in this form. Still, it’s nice not to feel afraid to comment like I did on Reddit where I felt like you’d often get torn apart unless you were VERY familiar with a sub-Reddit.
