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!

I think my experience can be best summed up by:

404: FetchError: invalid json response body at http://lemmy:8536/api/v3/site

Jokes aside, the web portal is pretty great. Jerboa seems... like it needs some polish.

I would give them a little benefit of the doubt. There were probably less than 50 Jerboa users last week and it was a slow hobby project.

With all this renewed interest there has already been a lot of fast progress and a massive update is coming out soon (I think). There's a community for the app though if you want to see how development is going!
