How’s everyone liking this so far?
I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of

I was talking with my friend about this last night and his biggest gripe was that he didn’t know which communities to join. IE there are communities of similar names and intents on different servers, and that choice was annoying. I’m guessing that as the fediverse expands this will be less of an issue, thoughts?
I’m not really sure how that will pan out
I wonder if they'll naturally develop into their own entities and not just be clones of each other. No idea how someone who isn't involved would know the difference at a glance.
I think people will default to the largest community on a given topic. It will be annoying, just like on Reddit, to see the same content "crossposted" to multiple similar communities.
Its similar on reddit, over time the bigger communities win over most users and the small ones die out.
There are also extreme cases of 2 big communities with same topics and the same number of users, like r/me_irl and r/meirl. You can join both of them, but stuff usually gets reposted between them so there is no need to follow both.
