I was intimidated by Lemmy at first. It felt hard to understand and not easy to use. I stuck with it and kept trying to figure out how to use it and after about 15 to 30 minutes I felt pretty confident and am now happily using Jerboa and understand what instances are etc.
It does seem complicated at first and daunting but hey.
I like it a lot. Left Reddit on Sunday, tried Tildes, then found Lemmy and have been here since.
Also using Jerboa. I like it well enough. It feels a bit like Reddit but also reminds me of being on the Internet back in the late 90s - not sure why it gives me that feeling though. Maybe because it’s new to me and not the most streamlined, and it’s still growing.
Anyway it’s great here! Enjoying interacting and watching things grow.
It seems very daunting to start using Lemmy at first. Took me a bit of reading to understand how to use it so I can see it being off-putting to others. I was determined to get away from Reddit so I put the effort in to understand how to use it.
