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!
Have you seen the search option, in the top right corner? Is that not enough to you? It works ok for me.
You can’t discover every community throughout the lemmy’s fediverse that way though. Only the communities that other users previously subscribed/searched for. https://browse.feddit.de/ is the thing to use if you’d like to see everything
It doesn’t even shows everything. In my experience the integrated Lemmy search engine was better for subscribing to an specific online community that I already knew the name for, but feddit.de wasn’t showing anything at all.
