Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
Pot, meet kettle.

People like that weren't going to add meaningfully to any discussion either way, if they flake that easily they were planning on lurking and likely wouldn't have commited to using this app over reddit, I was one of them til I got perm banned. I definitely preferred reddit because I had karma, over decade old accound so I could post wherever and had "credibility" in my head lol. Almost joined mbin before I realized I don't want user karma anymore. I do like post and comment upvotes/downvotes

Some apps kinda let you do this
-
I pay 7$ monthly for 8 core 16gb ram littlecreek, yunohost for free, installed lemmy on it, works solid, use like 10% of the resources with friendica also on the server lol That site looks insanely expensive monthly.
-
Like I genuinely hope you dont pay that much littlecreek (im same dude as other comment) has a 3.50 deal for 4 core 4gb ram on lowendtalk, more than enough to run lemmy for yourself

You'd get an email address from your ISP. Early on you'd just dial the ISP, send/receive email, and then automatically hang up. College freshmen were assigned a school email address.
Eventually, "web mail" became popular because you could log in from any computer, like at the library.
By the time email became unavoidable, everyone had already been assigned at least one email address. It was seen as a major feature of the internet itself.

I looked this up when joining a month ago because I saw hella posts on it and joining world to not see the piracy community didnt help
-
Idk why anyones upset about ppl who prefer new reddit not wanting to be here, exact type of person who should stay there
-
It makes a difference if you signed up for the only instance early on, and now everyone assumes you're a tankie.
-
Then I guess make sure you don't talk to yourself.

Exactly, I feel the mindset of 'line must go up or you die' is really ingrained in people's minds. Even if everyone leaves for something else lemmy will still be here, slowly getting better with updates and time.
Doesn't matter how many people use it. As long as even 1 person wants to use lemmy it will be here...

Lemmy UX is identical to old Reddit. Come on.
-
thats topics lol, piefed and mbin

Yeah, people actively surrounding one water cooler aren't likely to go across the room to a different water cooler with no one there to start a new community. There's a lot of mental and social effort required there.
In the news in tech communities the moderation was becoming oppressive. If someone pisses all over the water cooler, then people are a lot more likely to change it up.
We see the same thing in the niche video gaming communities.

It's not minescule. I remember actually taking days because I don't understand where and how to. You're a good person I can tell so stop being elitist as fuck it's childlike
-
Easy fix, if it isnt federated I give them a one star and talk about how im tired of ads and corporate influence in my discussion forums so id rather use the threadiverse, prob does nothing but if it gets even one person to google and switch it was worth the 5 seconds it took to type
-
I did this for a couples posts that popped up on redditalrs that werent lemmy, they were definitelty alread netuered and ready for ads, worse than reddit

You can literally just share phtn.app and say its how you use the threadiverse/lemmy, it doesnt need to be hosted on a site with the same lemmy instance you can login to any account through these frontends
