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!

It has a ton of potential. I really hope it takes off because even if it doesn't replace Reddit immediately it's good to have another place to communicate with others. I have a tech background so it was fairly easy to figure out. I think once folks get used to it that it will be no more difficult than other social media sites. Mobile users will probably have the hardest time adapting but who knows.
I'm mostly a mobile user (my app of choice was Boost on Android) and even though I'm still learning how this all works it's been a fairly similar experience, at least using Jerboa
I like the bright and intuitive insights the users seem to be offering.
It's also lightning fast which I very much appreciate.
Yeah, I think people want to keep the momentum going. Without interaction any alternatives are bound to die. I think it's pretty cool that you're more likely to get engagement since things are still so new and it's small enough that you can actually see comments like mine and expect someone to respond.
There's been a few hickups I've seen but with how fast this is all evolving it really is pretty quick and most issues seem to resolve themselves so it's been impressive so far.
