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

Very inside baseball opinion. It's like me describing reddit as "endless drama" because I read every thread on subreddit drama.
-
I do like the idea of a map.
We have colonized the Internet it's probably about time we start making a map for those that follow.
-
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.
