I feel like reddit was way less confusing than this shit, but honestly I'm here for the ride if I can hang on. I've done my part and invited those I know who use(d) reddit.

It is confusing at least initially and that is going to be a drawback for some. The key will be app development with seamless switching of instances and or being signed into more than one instance at a time. So far Connect, Liftoff and Voyager are progressing greatly. Side question....the term instances, what's up with that?

ikr, reddit was only confusing when it had the old UI but after the new UI got introduced the popularity skyrocketed. For me at least, the learning curve just wasn't as steep on reddit.

I don't know, I found the learning curve on Reddit very weird. In so many ways, it was just a real downgrade from what I was used to, at least with respect to the actual design. But then, I think the switch to flat forum layouts (eg things like Discourse) was a huge step backwards, and having that, but also a bazillion of them in the same place, and a flat view that shuffled them all together just seemed overwhelming and impossible to navigate.

Going from that to "that, but they're different websites again" honestly feels less confusing to me.
