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 like it so far, it has a low key relaxed energy. I mostly used reddit for the smaller communities so this kinda works for me.

Yeah, I feel the same way.. Everyone is like.. nice? Or at the very least friendly yeah, and you get a better reach not in the same way that a post on Reddit can just be buried under other ones.. Sorry for all the comparisons to Reddit lol I just don't know what else to compare something like Lemmy to.

Moderation on here generally seems to be handled very well. The main instances especially, we'll see how it all holds up as more people make the switch.

the vast majority of people here right now really, really want this to work - great incentive to chat, debate and content create (even if its currently small scale). I think we collectively got this.

Hi everyone, came from Reddit as well. Anyone know what section of this website may correspond to subreddits?

Communities are the equivalent of subreddits. Note that there are communities hosted on your instance and ones outside it. To see all of them you need to select all
