Just joined lemmy. There’s a lot for me to learn. But I’m willing to spend the time and learn how to navigate after Reddit completely messed up the user experience. I hope the subs I followed there turn up here eventually. But as they say patience is a virtue

I'm confused but have been figuring things out.
Mostly it seems that many of my Reddit subs are reconvening on different Lemmy servers (.ml, .world, .can) and I can't yet figure out how to combine them or view them under one account?
I'll keep trying.

I like it, and it isn't as complicated as it initially seemed to me.
been using Reddit for a few years and I'm just a casual user I'm new to Lemmy and it's kinda hard understanding this fediverse thing and trying to understand the features. I think It's gonna take a while for me to finally understand how Lemmy works
Former Reddit user here. It's a bit confusing but I'm holding up. I'm glad I found Kbin as it seems pretty user friendly compared to the various Lemmy instances. I'm excited for the future of both networks, and look forward to getting my head around it all a little better.
Moving over from reddit as well and it would help if there was a summary for what the new terminology are such as microblogging and magazines and if these terminology have the same meaning across the fediverse.
Also when I subscribe to a community based in Lemmy why does Kbin show only how many people are subscribed from Kbin. It doesn't impact usage but it did add to the confusion. I'm probably still using the wrong terminology.
Otherwise I'm liking what I'm seeing and hoping to be on this long term :)

It’s easier than I was expecting, 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.

I enjoy getting into something new. Looks promising. Has some scaling issues as expected. But it looks like a great, new place. I hope this grows into a solid social media forum. 👍
Very confusing but once I understood that it is similar to email in that you can have a user name on multiple different providers but they work together, things made a lot more sense. If they made it more clear that your username should usually be followed with @lemmy.ml or whatever then things make more sense.
