So far I have no problems with 99% of what everyone else seems to have. It’s not super intuitive to sign up and figure out all the instances/sites, but it wasn’t THAT hard and I’m not planning on signing up too often. Finding new subreddits (for lack of the terminology knowledge) really needs to be improved - it took me well over a day to figure it out (but admittedly I was only using jerboa).
The only things that bug me are some missing quality of life features my 3P Reddit app had, like automatically making as read when scrolling past and being able to quickly hide/dismiss seen content. I’m not used to seeing the same articles over and over. Also, and it’s pretty dumb, but being able to double tap for up vote and triple tap for down vote. Don’t need it, just drive myself crazy since it’s so ingrained.
The only other “complaint” I have is simply the amount of content. I was subscribed to quite a few niche subreddits that fit my interests/humor well, and those obviously haven’t migrated over. The YEARS of help in computer subreddits or whatever isn’t here. There’s no crazy specific subreddit to discover with tons of content.
With all of that being said, I currently have zero plans or desire to go back to Reddit, and it really hasn’t been all that hard so far. I swapped out my homescreen shortcut on my phone and I’ve been enjoying my time so far. I’m desperately hoping that this doesn’t die out in a couple days/weeks/months because it’s good to have competition, Reddit is effectively dead to what I need it to be, and I have zero desire to give Reddit any money after their views on us came out (to name a few reasons of many).
I also hope the toxicity stays away, but I’m not that naive. And I’m REALLY hoping that people with more time than I have bring over their comments/posts so I can search for them here. Reddit was one of the last places I knew that wasn’t stuffed full of ads and bot-generated, search-optimized posts that made little sense and didn’t help at all.
