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!

Not a fan of Jerboa, but I realize that it's early days. Hopefully we can get some of the UI people from the 3rd party reddit apps on here to develop a better client.

Yeah. I've enjoyed using Lemmy on my desktop, but so far I'm not enjoying the mobile experience as much. But I'll keep at it as it'll improve for sure.

It's not the best experience in the world, but I like it more than the official Reddit app. At least it works ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
