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!

The app I'm using (Jerboa) is a bit lacking, but I'm sure it'll improve. I'm unsure about how accounts work with the servers, can I migrate my account if the server I am using shuts down? Communities are tiny and a lot are missing, but I'm sure those will grow and fill in as more people join.

As far as I understand it you currently can't import data from one instance to another

Not automatically - I saw someone else saying that they sat with two browser windows open and just copied their subscribed communities from one profile to another. Bit time consuming (he/she said 20 minutes), and it wouldn't carry across your post/comment history, but it's a sort of solution.
