12 years Reddit refugee here:
So far the concept is VERY promising but it still does all feel a bit wonky. Signing up was a headache and took me hours, sign in still sometimes work sometimes not.. A huge of development will be required to get lemmy where it needs to be to really compete with Reddit, but so far, I'm very hopeful and happy!
I felt the same at first too. The longer sign-up issue makes joining a pain, but I think it's worth it.
Part of what I'm coming to love about the lemmy side of things is how free of filler and bots it is. By making a tiny barrier to entry, that's going to prevent that kind of thing to a degree.
