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!

    That would suck :/ Would your posts still last on other instances, or would those be gone too?

      Good question. I think they do continue to exist on other instances, but I’m not completely sure. My understanding is that you could delete your comments and posts from other instances before you delete your account from your own instance. But I’m not sure if they get deleted automatically anywhere outside your instance when you delete your account.

      Edit: I found a discussion with a Lemmy dev and it looks like “deletions are federated” - https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/2977
