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 this is my only real issue. It would be amazing to have an app that would allow you to create a gaming "folder" of sorts that you could drop all the gaming communities into under one heading.

Since you can already post to different instances, having a way to better organize them would solve for the fragmentation pretty well. Then even with multiple gaming communities, they all still show as #Gaming or whatever on the user end.

I cant seem to find it, but I believe I saw someone mention this feature is being worked on and is on their github.

That would be incredible and help to ease the somewhat jarring user experience for people new to federated platforms.
