Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
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

So you, a normal person, join and instantly when a meme or comment allude to being altruistic, you leave? It's so unfathomable to me how this is probably true. So many people need the world to be egomaniac or they get uncomfortable. Maybe they're the problem though
-
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
-
Literally in this thread is another person calling it too left and another calling it too right.
You notice the things you don't like more. Political ideology is always going to have a spread the problem is the argumentative user base and user self superiority. -
endless wars of who's federeated with who
i've been here for months and months, i might have seen this mentioned as an aside once or twice. but "endless wars"?
-
Half the fun of lemmy is all the frontends, apps, and customization options in general sprinkeld about
-
Eh, I kinda get it. I think there should be a default instance with curated feeds coming auto-subscribed into.
I don't remember if this is the case since I signed up almost a year ago, and I use on the phone exclusively with Voyager
-
You've been toying with the idea of making money off an app often, let me guess?
-
To be entirely honest if anybody like that comes here and bounces off that's great.
-
Well the only way to change that is to engage with those communities and provide content. Ofc. community building isnt easy.
-
And then different servers even have different options so you're not stuck with one person's view of what things look like.
I was kind of upset that Kbin went under, lots of cool features, same data.
-
Ppl gotta stop saying stuff like this and spend their energy posting and making those communtiies instead, comment in new and growing communities, post in them at least subscribe and upvote/downvote, do something other than just complain (more of a blanket statement, than at you)
-
While not necessarily about the upvotes I find the users here are still very much about being _Right_
or trying to be the most liked and therefore the most conformed to their community.The updoots may not matter but people for sure act like they do or want them to.
-
World has no piracy communities they are blocked, kbin had microbloggings (mastodon) if you liked that, mbin kbin.earth is fork if kbin, still around. Piefed has the most potential.
