Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
Alexandrite is honestly great. Made the experience much better. Just wish I could have it open links in a separate tab.

How is a simple reasonable skirmish, a war ?
-
It also means that lemmy will forever be less useful as an actual tool. You can not find nearly as many in-depth answers to topics by typing lemmy at the end of the search bar as reddit; and people will stay on reddit after they get the information they need because why go somewhere else. I understand that part of it is because reddit has been around for so long but I would think I could at least get linux questions answered here and I really can't
-
This is my thought... Don't hide it, really, more like toss a blanket over that part while people get settled. Most will stick with the defaults (whether a single default like lemmy.world or regional defaults like lemmy.ca), but they'll get the option if that's something they want to change later (I do wish there was a way to move instances rather than having to make a new account, that might also help improve adoption... "Just go with this one while you settle in and move when you know where you want to go")

Lots of Lemmy clients have great UI. The default web interface looks fine as well.
Wait till they try out Matrix. No client works properly and all the mobile clients are really bad.

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.

"bad ux? bad ui?"
i am a graphic designer!!! i only use linux and open source software like inkscape!! yea let's go!! fediverse -

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.
