From the outside looking in, the whole model seemed needlessly complicated. So it’s like there’s a LOT of reddit.coms over here? But they’re all the same? But also different? What’s the difference? Which one do I sign up on?

But then I get here and realized it doesn’t really matter that much, since you can more or less use all of them regardless of which one you sign up for.

Something about the way users try to communicate what Lemmy/Fediverse IS, is the complicated part. It’s like everyone wants to jump straight to the more technical details behind how the model works; which probably scares off a lot of the people who just want a place to pop in and talk about their hobbies.

Now that I see you doing your part it feels bad if I don't do it as well, here goes me getting out of lurking.

Former RiF user here. Connect for Lemmy is my favorite so far. I hope to see a LiF in the future.

The main thing that bothers me about Connect are the 'Material You' colours. Can't figure out how to get it just black and white. So for now I'm on Jerboa.

Guilty.

I come seeking refuge from the shit storm that is reddit leadership.

Truly though. Less than 3k users a month ago and now over 50k and counting? Basically everyone here is looking for a reddit replacement. Hopefully those 3k other people don't mind lmao

I'm hungry, man. Can you come to me?

Speaking of janky, voting doesn't seem to actually work for me?

I'm optimistic. Seems to be catching on quicker than I'd expected.

Me too 😊
