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!

    cool that it’s written in Rust also decentralization (not the blockchain kind) is the future, but…
    lemmy ui feels kinda unpolished, and sometimes community join requests just hang forever.

      Yeah, the odd hangs are a little iffy (subscribing and upvoting). Though I actually like the UI so far since it’s very clean. If I care enough I could always implement my own custom CSS using the “Stylus” extension in chrome/edge.

        You can like the UI while also agreeing it is unpolished. It needs a lot of when before it’s ready for prime time
