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!

Mlem needs a lot of work, no doubt about it. for generally viewing content it gets a passing grade, but things get janky (if not impossible) fast when it comes to interacting with the site. I have hopes though; the creator said that they're taking a lot of inspiration from Apollo, so I'm withholding Judgement as it's very clearly very beta in its development. Makes me wish I could help (I love Apollo, especially as a fellow Haligonian), but I've no experience with app development.
