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!

Joined yesterday after shutting down my 14+ year old Reddit account (mourning has commenced). So far, so good. Will spend time looking around for the next few days but do consider this home now. Jerboa is an easy transition from RIF (unlike others, no complaints on functionality - it does everything I need ATM and I do remember the early days of Reddit: this is so smooth by comparison). Just need more users and more content but that will surely come quickly given u/spez's decision-making.
