So far, my experience has been pretty painless. Took about a day to really get used to. Its not nearly as big as Reddit, but I kind of like that.

I was in so many niche places that I think it'll be hard to really find somewhere to connect with.
I don't really like how the front page looks, it reminds me of new reddit and the official reddit app a bit too much. Other than that, I'm still just looking around and haven't done much. I downloaded an app but it's kinda bad and I'd rather just use a browser for now

Just joined and other than the app being kinda slow I can get used to this.

I am trying to interact with posts on beehaw.org on lemmy.ml, but to no avail. Does anyone know how to communicate inscance agnostic?

Pretty great honestly. I've found almost all the "subs" I'm interested in, and the community has been very nice. There's a few small things I'd like to see (UI improvements, 2FA (coming next patch), etc), but those will come in time :)
It's a learning process. There is definetly a mild learning curve as to how things work here compared to traditional social media platforms. But maybe that's even a good thing as to pre-filter certain audiences.
So far the interaction possibilities seem very satisfying, community seems friendlier than current reddit (maybe that's just the size of the userbase) and there is already enough, I'd call it "base content" as to be a reasonable alternative to reddit. - Which is why I created an account here.
I especially like the threaded, color coded conversation view. Makes it really discernable who responded to whom. I also like the UI very much. Clear and easy to navigate. Only critique here: There is kind of a lot of wasted screenspace on both sides on a 4k resolution.
I think shortcuts for common mouseclicks and formatting like in RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) would go a long way here too.
Well thats my 2c.
Maybe I just haven't come across it yet, but I'd like to make threads left-aligned and everything smaller (text, thumbnails etc.)
