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!
How do I choose an instance? I’ve made accounts of same name on Lemmy.ml, beehaw, and here. Which one I use, and what do I with the others?
I think you can just use whichever one you find most convenient, I would wager lemmy.ml would be your best bet as it’s the most active instance. The other accounts I think you could just keep as a backup in case the main lemmy.ml instance goes down.
Lemmy.ml is a bit overcrowded at the moment as well apparently
Is there any point to having more than 1? As long as the instance isn’t shut down it shouldn’t really matter which one is “Home” right?
