Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
This post can be taken as-is with "Lemmy" replaced with "Linux", and I fucking hate it. So many people despise the idea of "normies" coming to what they love as if they're the reason things got so bad.
This stuff could be so great if they were actually made for everyone. -
That has nothing to do with the subject

Or just go to vger.app, which defaults to lemm.ee but allows you to register and log in with a whole bunch of different instances.

UX experience
We should shorten that to UXX

Yeah… you people are nice. Thank you all fr it’s so refreshing and rare to meet nice people on the internet these days

You're right, but you're also not seeing some of the great and diverse content on Lemmy. Obviously reddit has a fuckton more content. Network effect and all that, but my Lemmy feed is not as you describe. I'm subscribed to a bunch of Linux, FOSS, privacy, music, and other great communities. While I do see articles and screen caps when I browse the all feed, my curated feed is full of questions, discussions, new (to me) music and more.
It certainly takes some effort to curate a feed for yourself, but it can be done.

The less profitable we are, the less they'll bother us.

I sincerely hope there's less content here than Reddit, forever. I hope the UI keeps the masses out, and the technically savy are the only ones here.
I want to doomscroll less, I want to be astroturfed less. I want to interact with more humans and fewer bots, even when that means I interact less. I want fewer AI prompts, AI Art and corpo spam ads masquerading as engagement. I want less video and more text. Overall, I want to be spending less time on the internet, on my phone, and I don't want to hear about every last toxic thing Trump did to drive me crazy. Lemmy helps me control that feed better, so I deleted my reddit account and I hope to stay here until I manage to stop opening social media at all.
Lemmy right now feels like the internet before the long september. I hope it never changes.

If I send you (assuming you're an average person) a link to lemmy.world, that site has a basic signup. That is the same as virtually any site. There is no functional difference between joining reddit, and joining a lemmy instance. The only difference is you're not in a walled garden here.
I know freedom is scary if you're not used to it, but try it for a while. Once you get used to it, you'll find the corporate web is stale and banal.
You can't expect things to be different if you're applying old ways of thinking and looking at things, and trying to box the new into being the very thing you migrated away from.

The closer we are to irrelevance, the farther we are from harm!

Ah yes, the US is being run by a fascist pedophile and his 4 techbros of the apocalypse, but lets focus on the tankies because clearly they are the real problem haha.
-
Tankies promoted that fascist pedophile, literally promoted him on Hexbear and praised him, and regularly promote both-sides-bad centrism that empowers him.

This is why I like SomethingAwful forums too. Open since 1999 and an account costs $10. Just a little barrier to entry keeps out the worst people and trolls help fund the site by reregistering!

I love this! Totally agree, and you know what? I don't need to give you an "award" and enrich the site owners with unnecessary money waste. I hope it never changes too. Quality over quantity.

When the Orcs are raping elderly women and their sons. Then murdering them. They deserve the name. Just so you’re aware. There’s a reason they are called this. They earned it.
