Well it was confusing to begin with. I'm still not sure how to search efficiently or whatever, and I don't know where you can quickly see the Instance themes. I've settled in though and I'm comfortable now. It really helps that **every **comment isn't replied to with someone outright hostile for whatever reason. Pretty sure that'll change once the bots realize we're worth their time.

I have my icks. I wish thread trees were more distinct. I'm still getting the hang of the interface. But despite them there is a pleasant vibe here where you feel like you're actually talking to people and not screaming to be heard amongst a hostile crowd.

bots gonna have a hard time trying not to be banned lol

btw you can change the interfave in the browser, there are sites that are lemmy but with different layout, and extensions, and i'm pretty sure, more are coming

is impossible to make a layout that everyone likes, so we reasolve that with opensource, now, like mastodon, a lot of differents layouts can exists for anyone who wants it

I'm also still confused with the layout and how to navigate... Even figuring out how to view different instances or share posts from instances seems confusing so far. I'm gonna continue on with brute force though. Reddit killing RIF was too much for me. I'd been using that app for over 12 years, and honestly maybe a fresh start like Lemmy will be a good thing
