Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
I miss those times when you actually had to learn a lot of things before being able to write stuff on the internet.
-
That's easily fixable by using a third-party app such as Voyager (or on the web on wefwef.app)
-
If you're not a native English speaker, you could try joining an instance that speaks your language, for example.
-
Doing a 1/1 recreation of niche communities from reddit is a fools errand. Let communities develop on their own, or even better, simply federate existing communities.
-
-
Once upon a time Reddit used to be just a single subreddit. And it was fine. Lemmy already has enough users for separate subreddits to be actually kinda viable, even if they are not too active.
We'll be fine.
-
Could there be an option for a sorting hat that could either: look at the redditor's post history and determine a good server for them or simply spin the wheel. Either way would get the lazies shit posting without them having to learn anything about fediverse. I know I would have just spun the wheel.

Reddit ux is also ass. Only difference between reddit and lemmy is that the federation bit is extremely confusing and not intuitive.
-
right wing?
-
"It was just endless war about who is federated with who?"
Thanks the anti-tankies turds and their constants whining.
-
Feddit.org and lemmy.ca are also non profits
-
I don't think anti-tankies can be blamed when said tankies regularly engage in brigading of other instances. Like is everyone actually behaved this wouldn't have been an issue.
-
I don't think partisan is even the right word here as many Lemmy users are too far left for mainstream political parties. In fact I am further left than most any mainstream party, but am still considered a capitalist shill by people here.
-
-
Yeah this happened to me too. I guess I made bad choices.
-
Yeah, it's full of tankies and transphobes.
-
What you call brigading are just normal people like me who encountered right-wing america-centered bullcrap and react to it.
I never saw tankies spamming the lemmyverse to whine about world.
