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!
Is there one overall community just mirrored across all instances? Or is the “Nintendo” on lemmy.ml different than the “Nintendo” on bee.haw or whatever? (Just an example - no idea if these communities exist)
It’s accessible from every instance that is Federated with the other. So for example if I’m on sh.itjust.works and there’s a Nintendo community on lemmy.ml, I would be able to access it just by searching [email protected] for example. The same goes for other communities on other instances, you would just replace lemmy.ml with the instance url.
Ok that makes sense… but in this example, they are still two distinct communities? E.g., the comments are different in each?
yes, they are distinct
