I'm still struggling with it. I clicked on a post that looked interesting and it took me to a server I didn't have a logon to. I wanted to leave a comment but I couldn't. Was I banned? Nope, I finally realized I'd been directed to a different server. Now imagine someone with zero IT background trying to deal with this. They'd probably just quit it.

It is interesting to be on the ground floor of something new though.

That is generally really annoying, when on desktop. Consider looking for an Android/iOS app. The app will keep track of your account, and you won’t really have that issue anymore. I use Thunder, and find it a decent experience on both platforms.
