First comment :) Researching about self-hosting a personal instance now...

You're not the first, you just don't get the full list of comments until you subscribe from your home instance... and I'm unsure if you get earlier comments than when you did that. It's a bit of a pain point
You don't need to just search, you need to have at least one member subscribed
Well, i've created account on sopuli.xyz,had some fun, and now it's unreachable.
just got my signup approved, the ui is awesome and the dark mode this place has won't destroy my eyes during night shift. it's a bit slower than reddit but that's fine
There are some things i recognize like news and such. Reddit was so ubiquitous that if i had a problem with just about any game i could find a subreddit. Here i am not at all sure how making federations or threads work. And things are still a little sparse. I am connected to beehaw. If i connect to another group will i see completely new communities or recreations of the standard ones?
It's been nice, no complains but I'm just starting :)
Being honest: confusing. I can’t really decide if I like it or not right now.
It’s quite different from Reddit as in: you only see what you’re interested in (unless you’re in a big instance like lemmy.ml), but you have to look for it. Don’t get me wrong, this can be great! But there were situations where I accidentally found a niche subreddit that really matched stuff that I liked. I see that as more difficult here, but I might be wrong! Only time will tell
