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 don't think that's possible since each instance is kind of a silo from each other with regard to your activity on that specific instance, even if you post on other instances.. Like since you made a comment/post on one instance that activity stays on that instance.

Seems reasonable I probably should have expected that to be fair

That depends. I think the migration process is part of ActivityPub and would need to be implemented in lemmy. With mastodon, you can move from instance to instance almost transparently.
