Steve Huffman, the Reddit CEO, told NBC News in an interview that a user protest on the site this week is led by a minority of moderators and doesn’t have wide support.

It’s just a matter of migrating them to a new platform. Lemmy has a small learning curve, but unfortunately it’s enough to turn off a lot of users. Hopefully with the influx of users, someone smarter than me can figure out how to streamline the user experience here.

I don’t get the learning curve. I’ve been on it for 15 minutes. So far it looks exactly like Reddit. And seems more user friendly.
I was hooked right away too. Feels like home tbh.
Yeah, except when you want to do anything with other instances.
We’re on one of the biggest instances, so you can still have a nice feed before you learn how to work with instances.
This is true.
Browser extensions help a bit, but just not on iOS.
