For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience?
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'm pretty tech savvy so not a problem for me but I question how viable this is as a reddit replacement just due to how unintuitive the fediverse is. Like the whole having to choose a server but still having access to all the other servers bit. If lemmy.ml could handle being the "official" server it would probably be viable
I think it will be similar to how it was on Mastodon. I created a Mastodon instance back during the Twitter exodoi and had a big influx of new users. But those users only posted maybe a handful of things until they stopped logging in altogether. So I am now left with like 400 registered users but maybe a few dozen or so that are still active.
