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!

So far im still confused, but I’ve learned a lot in the time I’ve been here, so i think I’ll come around. I feel like the main issue I personally have is population of communities and actually finding communities. Ive found a couple ill look at in an asklemmy thread and im sure itll grow over time, but I personally dont have much I can contribute yet, so im not sure how much I can do personally.

https://browse.feddit.de/ has a pretty good list of communities

Thanks for the fantastic tool! Only thing is I’m not quite understanding the sorting method that the communities are listed under. They don’t seem to be biggest to smallest or anything, but some of the largest communities are at the top. It’s a bit odd and I wish I could sort them by something. Still the best aggregate of listings we currently have tho.
