Reddit felt so damn simple to use where this is an absolute cluster fuck of complexity in comparison. It really needs to be simpler if there are hopes to take down reddit. Hopefully with boost and sync devs making a client things may improve.

I don’t see what’s complex about it? It seems to be just the reddit UI, though I switched to wefwef pretty quickly.

Maybe wefwef is hiding some complexity?

To me the complexity was just trying to figure out which instance to sign up on in the first place. Has somebody made a decision tree or something so people can use that to decide on the best instance for their needs? I know they work together but I certainly had some decision paralysis when trying to figure out which one to pick without desiring to do a lot of research.

Oh I just clicked a random one before I realized it might be significant.

I assumed it was kinda like "which service did you use to register your domain name?" Godaddy vs Network Solutions vs whatever you kids are using these days it just doesn't matter to me.
