Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
Lemmy is too right wing to serve as a good Reddit replacement. The queer communities on Reddit don't want to move here because their members will be harassed.
-
Reddit ux is also ass. Only difference between reddit and lemmy is that the federation bit is extremely confusing and not intuitive.
-
right wing?
-
"It was just endless war about who is federated with who?"
Thanks the anti-tankies turds and their constants whining.
-
Feddit.org and lemmy.ca are also non profits
-
I don't think anti-tankies can be blamed when said tankies regularly engage in brigading of other instances. Like is everyone actually behaved this wouldn't have been an issue.
-
I don't think partisan is even the right word here as many Lemmy users are too far left for mainstream political parties. In fact I am further left than most any mainstream party, but am still considered a capitalist shill by people here.

-
Yeah this happened to me too. I guess I made bad choices.
-
Yeah, it's full of tankies and transphobes.
-
What you call brigading are just normal people like me who encountered right-wing america-centered bullcrap and react to it.
I never saw tankies spamming the lemmyverse to whine about world.
-
What's most annoying is that for 95% of users, federation doesn't even matter. You just log on and use lemmy exactly like reddit. All feds are consolidated onto my front page anyway.
People make a big deal about it, it definitely intimidated me when I first logged up. It's one of the reasons I put off getting into lemmy for such a long time, and it's frustrating that in the end, it really makes no difference.
-
These people must have been paralyzed with fear when they had to choose an email provider.
-
You fascist swine
-
Yes I figured but wasn't sure if I wasn't missing something lol. Well at least I learned a new term (defederated).
-
well in that case join an instance that doesn't federate with queer/transphobe instances?
This is the advantage of federated social networks - it gives full control to the people who run their own instances -
That would require people actually recommending specific websites, and all people seem to want to do is circle jerk about "lemmy", as if it's a tangible place and not a website engine
-
What UX? At least my instance have like 5 different forms to access, in the browser, then you have the apps too. There's no way all of those UX are not good for you
-
How did people figure out what email provider to use?
-
Ah yes, because telling people the reason they don't join your platform is invalid is sure to make them change their minds.
0 marketing sense. People like you are why the Reddit userbase mostly steers clear.
