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!
It’s turning out confusing. Like I created an account on lemmy.world. Then I saw kbin existed and came over here… or went over there? And created a new account, with the same name. But now I’m seeing that the stuff I comment here… there… on kbin anyway, show up also on lemmy, so now apparently I have two accounts for the same stuff? Except I didn’t saw a way from lemmy to log in on kbin with the account from over there. If that’s even something that can be done. Kbin looks friendlier. Actually… am I writing this on kbin or on lemmy… what the fuck is going on? Where the hell am I?
You wrote this on lemmy.ml. You can te by how your user name is displayed here. Others writing from different instances would have their “full names” displayed. Something like @username@instanceName
EDIT: Apparently I was wrong. It looks like that only holds for other lemmy instances
