For everyone new to Lemmy, how are you finding the experience? - sh.itjust.works

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!

It’s easier than I was expecting (using kbin, at least), but still growing pains. I assume that there just aren’t communities set up for some of the game-specific subreddits I was on (Zelda, Genshin, Star Rail, etc.) but I don’t know that I’d really expect there to be yet.

I also noticed that some people have profile pictures/avatars and I can’t figure out how to set that. I assume it’s because I just made my account today though that I’m not able to yet.

Actually, Zelda community exists on lemmy: @zelda (or [email protected] ?)
