Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

Cool for you to do a presentation. Feel free to share how it went here afterwards!

Yeah if it looked like new reddit I wouldn't be here. That site is ass. IDK how anyone can stand to use it.

People these days look weird at you if don't use Gmail so you can't see their Google Calendar invite or some other thing that only works with Google... People are literally pushing tech monopolies.

Well I do like new Reddit. It has a dark mode and works well with different screen/window sizes. Sadly it's slow and equires JS to load the content (makes it slow).
Imo Lemmy web is most of the good parts of old Reddit and some of good parts of new Reddit. Though it's not the best UI. My favorite UI for Reddit is Redlib [1]. It's fast, works well on desktop and mobile, and looks great imo.

There are a few .world posters who make two to three posts a day about how much they hate lemmygrad hexbear and .ml.

Yeah I feel like that low bar and the fact people have to be informed and conscientious to join is part of why the community here seems better at deeper conversations.
Also helps that we aren't worth corporate and propaganda bots yet. As soon as you get big that can start happening and the way some countries are going Lemmy could be banned for not having lobbyist money.

The web ui has this option now. Although you can't collapse threads so it's still pretty hard to navigate
If anything the success or the Twitter ui shows you don't always need a good UX to succeed

This 100%. And there are other former-reddit-3rd party apps as well afaik

Tell it to the hosts.

@Octagon9561 @isaaclyman worse some big email sending services like sendgrid embedded in a lot solutions don't work with privacy enhanced e-mail services.

Same...though it seems to do some weird stuff like not marking DMs read, or not having an easy way to embed a photo that's already hosted somewhere (and my instance seems a bit conservative with size limits).
Still, it's a solid app, and the only way I interacted with reddit.
