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 trying things out on Mlem and may try switching to browser for a while to see if it’s better. As far as I can tell… I can’t save posts or comments, search for anything, block communities I don’t feel like seeing, see comments I’ve made, lots of posts repeat, can’t easily find communities, etc. afaik things are still pretty new, so that’s fine… but it’s not SUPER usable in this form. Still, it’s nice not to feel afraid to comment like I did on Reddit where I felt like you’d often get torn apart unless you were VERY familiar with a sub-Reddit.
