Pretty great honestly. I've found almost all the "subs" I'm interested in, and the community has been very nice. There's a few small things I'd like to see (UI improvements, 2FA (coming next patch), etc), but those will come in time :)

So far, my experience has been pretty painless. Took about a day to really get used to. Its not nearly as big as Reddit, but I kind of like that.
Maybe I just haven't come across it yet, but I'd like to make threads left-aligned and everything smaller (text, thumbnails etc.)
I'm amazed it runs so well. It's incredibly speedy for a wss implementation.
I had a bit of trouble signing up, but was approved super quickly and could log in.
(I might bother support later about it, when things settle down)
Even federated topics are blazing fast. Now I am thinking of setting up my own server on my Oracle Cloud Free Tier.
Markdown works just like old.reddit. But it feels like it already has RES and ton's of plugins preinstalled. I am really quite happy.

My experience has been great! Iโm trying to open up and contribute more to help this place grow. I made accounts on lemmy.ml and mastodon.social. While initially it was hard trying to find people and communities to follow, I think Iโve got the hang of it and am finding new content every day! There were some good posts on Reddit that helped me find lists of Mastodon users and Lemmy communities. By the end of the month Iโll be telling all my friends to hop on and helping them with the migration.
Even though I select "All" as my default type, it doesn't seem to populate anything after the second page of results? But if I click on "all" manually, I get all the pages. Otherwise, I'm just discovering things still, and exploring - which is fun!

I don't really understand it yet, I'm trying to find a boardgame community, but haven't had any luck.

There's A LOT less spam posts and reused joke comments.
A lot of dipping my toes into the water atm. mostly all over the place.
I still use reddit (for now) but I'm very much enjoying the smaller community feel on beehaw, while being able to join in on conversations in other instances whenever I feel like it.
There have been some stability issues on most of the more popular instances because of the sudden influx, but of course that's to be expected and I just take it as a hint to get off the internet for a while, lol

My self-hosted instance seems to be working well, but I can't figure out how to federate with other platforms such as mastodon.
I guess we'll figure it out at some point.
