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!
I’m kinda hoping someone will point out this feature already exists, but I wish there was a way to subscribe to a topic. Right now it feels like multiple instances are forming their own, say, gaming community, and it feels like this is splintering the community rather than growing it?
Other than that, I actually really like the decentralised nature – and, while this is likely due to the very early nature of things, man is it nicer here. Weirdly feels like early Slashdot days…
I think this is my only real issue. It would be amazing to have an app that would allow you to create a gaming “folder” of sorts that you could drop all the gaming communities into under one heading.
Since you can already post to different instances, having a way to better organize them would solve for the fragmentation pretty well. Then even with multiple gaming communities, they all still show as #Gaming or whatever on the user end.
I cant seem to find it, but I believe I saw someone mention this feature is being worked on and is on their github.
That would be incredible and help to ease the somewhat jarring user experience for people new to federated platforms.
So basically mut
iredditslemmies?Lemii if you will.
yeah, i don’t understand why it’d be built like that? i guess it prevents overbearing mods, but the only true advantage seems like you can still call the backup “Gaming” instead of “TrueGaming” or whatever
