Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
I had no idea I wasn't actually seeing the front page of everything
-
Kind of wishing for a light mode. I like to keep things light during the day, and dark at night. Crazy right?
-
If I understand it correctly you want something like what Mastodon has, splitting "your stream" and "world stream", being the second the default one. Am I right?

A solution to this is, actually, more federation. Many lemmy instances could band together by building a front page interface that combined all of the best posts across servers
Isn't that All?
-
First there’s the obvious topic of defederation, which makes the “join one server, access all of them” an outright lie.
- https://lemmy.sdf.org/instances blocks one outdated Kbin instance
- https://lemmy.today/instances blocklist is empty
Still those two instances aren't that popular

I tried to join a community that was meant to migrate away from reddit, but found two duplicates. So I wasn’t sure which one was the correct one. Ultimately the migration failed, even though it was a software oriented community
Which community was it?
-
Oh dang, after switching the themes back and forth it now actually follows system settings. Cookies/cache are a strange thing I guess. Thanks!
-
Nowadays, [email protected] has daily threads promoting active communities
Also what client where you using for that screenshot? Clients usually show instances after the communities name

-
Boost. That was 1 year ago.

This is fair, however, not ubiquitous and all their servers are expected to place nice with others.
Thank god email is federated, and not locked down to a particular company

I don’t really get that either. New users are immediately presented with posts and communities they can interact with, and all of the functions are familiar to anyone who has used reddit or forums. The interface is straightforward and uncluttered, as far as what that contributes to the user experience. Also I have never found federation confusing.
I guess OP is talking about the attitude of personality of lemmy members and I don’t agree with that, either. The 2-3 people on reddit quoted in the post are clueless and there’s no indication they represent a significant and amount of people’s perceptions. “Endless wars about federation” - what? There was controversy for like 1 week several months ago.
