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!

Yeah, agreed. It's nice to see a place like this grow, though, so I'm sure more usability/readability design tweaks will probably fall in at some point. What I'm finding odd about my own experience re: the threaded layout is that when I first joined reddit, I had trouble following along because I was used to the forum style, with quotes to call out threaded replies, and now here we are in reverse.
