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 have a terrible experience on mobile. I'm literally only on desktop because I was ready to delete my account. It's extremely unintuitive, Lemur doesn't work for lemmy.world and the other app is confusing to use. :/

if you're on Android there is an app for Lemmy called Jerboa which is working well for me (and also just released a new update with a ton of additions/fixes!). You can use the app to connect to any lemmy instance.

Not only is it a good app, its the native one! I use it from lemmy.world right now!

True, mobile experience is truly terrible and must be prioritized imo

I bet there are some app developers out there that could repurpose their newly unusable apps. LIF can be better then RIF was.
