This feels a lot like Reddit did 15 years ago, when they first introduced subreddits-- like I'm seeing something brand new for the first time, but it's somehow comfortable and innocent.

the "subs" on reddit is called "communities" on lemmy
Can we say "comms" for short?
IDK
It doesn't match reddit yet but it's alright
What lemmy instance should I use? I registered lemmy.ml but I heard itβs very political. Should I change?

Really liking the simplicity and distributed nature of the platform. Woot!
Had some issues getting an account with loading going infinitely until approved, which is just confusing as a new user as there was no notification about it timing out, and almost led to some duplication by accident. But so far it has actually been pretty smooth other than that, I like the UI and the community focus a lot.
