Absolutely. It’s certainly difficult getting used to new layouts after the set-in-stone layout of Reddit. The federation system as you said, is pretty hard to wrap my head around, too. I was willing to take a risk and join Lemmy not knowing what’s in store, but I bet many aren’t willing to try something untested and new.

Definitely a lurker. I rarely have anything I want to show off, and I like reading other people’s opinions and content.
