Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
Oh yeah, I don't even know which one I signed up to without looking.
Been here a while now and I really like it. Doesn't hurt that I'm a lefty that loves star trek, though.
I can't be quiet at times and I don't really have much to share, myself, but that's not a bad thing to me. Easier to set it down sometimes.

Idk I turn on the instance names on every app idk why they keep trying to hide the federation and how it works, it makes this experience unique, I dont want the same boring shit I already hated but was stuck with

I'm certain those replies are in bad faith to discourage people from leaving reddit. The first one is obvious for your aforemention reason. The second one. I mean the internet has been around for decades. People haven't suddenly forgot how to use it. Even normies have been able to figure out how to click a server. They're fomenting lazy inertia.

The self-selection of Lemmy vs Reddit users is an inherently stratifying medium. Lemmy is also distinctly left-leaning in a way that Reddit is not.
Having experienced several waves of Reddit absorbing Facebook exoduses, and the subsequent worsening of experience, I can only infer the same pattern will exist in Reddit slop migrating to Lemmy.
If anything, I'd prefer that entire crowd return to Facebook to bloviate their opinions and Boomerisms ad naseum.

I barely remember reddit on PC. Except for people trying to convince bitcoin would be valuable - and me thinking they were foolish. I would have sold at $25, anyways.

All is not consolidated, though. "All" is your local feed plus what is subscribed to by users on your instance. It isn't everything by default, afaik.

with was the default too.

Those comments are fairly meaningless. Federation wars? Where? There was some controversy like a year ago from why I recall and everyone has moved way on. I wouldn’t even consider that UX either.
-
The first year after the api debacle in 2023 was rife with culture class of redditors tromping through anarchist and communist communities and instances and freaking the fuck out they're allowed to exist.
Those instances have resulted in defederations or there's been enough fatigue and migration that these days its really just down to like 3 chronically obsessed users variously spamming about it.

You don't even have to sign up to view posts or comments.

Maybe I’m more tech oriented than many, but I don’t find federation confusing at all. I’ve never understood why it’s described that way.
-
Every other post is some worldist idiot whining about ml
-
Um… okay, if the fairly mainstream for our demographic politics here repels certain people, good.
-
So Lemmy is filtering out people who can’t take 5 minutes to understand a simple concept and make a decision?
-
What I don’t get is why not pretend it’s centralized and just recommend a server when you introduce someone to lemmy instead of trying to teach them?
Oh you want an alternative to Reddit, here, go to lemmy.ca since your Canadian.

I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about.
