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!

    not great. reaching my feed or finding communities requires multiple clicks, like why is the local community selection the default in the community tab, it’s just stupid. collapsing comments requires more mouse movement and clicking in a different location every comment because of name length, very dumb. communities are too small and not reliable news aggregators yet, not sure why we couldnt just have subreddits move their culture over and agree of a server, or at least set up bots with RSS feeds from news sites or popular stuff in the mean time. lacks customizability for visuals and usage in general. i’d like to have it autocollapse or autohide posts i’ve already seen, but now i just see the same threads from 2 days ago. user and community pictures in every post on my frontpage are visually noisy. and more and more issues. the devs definitely need help with creating a reasonable browing experience.

      undefined> why is the local community selection the default in the community tab

      This can be changed in your account settings: [your server address]/settings Scroll down to “Type” (and you may want to have a look at “Sort type” too.

        thanks, yeah unfortunately it doesn’t work for the communities tab, that still defaults to local for me.
