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!
Took me a bit to decide which instance to join and get setup, but I think I’m getting the hang of it. The registration process needs some feedback instead of just spinning if you’re not yet approved though I saw this is being worked on.
It has been clunky to reference other communities or search for them, I keep finding links that send me to another instance and then I’m not logged in there.
Also, there seem to be a lot of duplicate communities. It would be nice to have some kind of system for groups of communities. So that they can link together as a super-community (if agreed by their mods) and if you subscribe to one you get them all. Or maybe over time the most popular ones will become apparent.
Overall its been neat to get setup over here and see the beginning of something.
