12 years Reddit refugee here:
So far the concept is VERY promising but it still does all feel a bit wonky. Signing up was a headache and took me hours, sign in still sometimes work sometimes not.. A huge of development will be required to get lemmy where it needs to be to really compete with Reddit, but so far, I'm very hopeful and happy!
May I ask why signing up took hours? I didn't even need to confirm anything via email, so I took me like 10 seconds.
I used sh.itjust.works though, I think it's meant to, well, just work. Maybe the process on other instances is more complicated?
I signed up via beehaw and the sign up page said the request has to be manually approved.
I think the join page should mention that Beehaw requires manual approval, so people don't get caught off guard.
