Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

We have a good looking UI try Summit or Thunder for Lemmy for app and phtn.app for Web

Part of me wants the fediverse to take over because the world needs open systems and not corporate outlets for ads and propaganda.
But this place is really fun how it is and I want to be selfish and keep the precious all for ourselves.
I think we have a lot of wiggle room between the two, fortunately. If we get 10x the users with the barriers to entry doing the same filtering as now, this place could really be hopping. But if we get 1000x the users and start doing Reddit numbers, who knows what it will be like.
Knowing humans, maybe there’s a critical mass at which Lemmy would fracture into multiple fediverse islands. But each could still be vastly larger than all of Lemmy right now.

I believe the accusation is that the admins and moderators had a discord server that they were coordinating harassment campaigns from.

Your #4 seems inaccurate, unless you were just walking us through your changing perspective as you joined.
This place is very left leaning and I’m sure it’s loaded with people who happily call themselves socialists while shouting down the MLs/tankies.
The main difference afaik is that they support authoritarians.

The best reward on a Lemmy comment is an interesting and thoughtful reply.

More federation is good, but lemmy had a defederation fiasco when everyone was paying attention.
People have enough of that IRL and want a truly global community.

Yes it is

Yeah I prefer to judge people by their actions rather than what instance they're from. If I did, I would assume every feddit.uk user eats beans and toast for breakfast.

You need to give people the photon link: https://photon.lemmy.world/
Lemmy has multiple view options, photon is the one that looks the most/exactly like Reddit.
The other view options are;
https://a.lemmy.world - Alexandrite UI
https://photon.lemmy.world - Photon UI
https://m.lemmy.world - Voyager mobile UI
https://old.lemmy.world - A familiar UI -
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?
