Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
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.
-
I've suggested something similar before and got shur down. Just sort people into a Lemmy server either based off their interests or location
"Nationality France = Lemmy France Server"
Or
"What are your interests? Gaming = Gaming Lemmy server"
-
I guess that is because people don't understand what the fediverse is and why it exists.
It is one of the foundational problems the fediverse aims to fix. Marginalized communities get all the tools and authority to protect themselves from hatred and abuse.That would require people actually recommending specific websites
I actually think that's the way to go! lemmy.blahaj.zone would be one example of a queer-inclusive community.
-
If the miniscule effort of signing up for a platform keeps someone away, they probably wouldn't be a good community member anyway.
-
Well the concept of email is much more popular than the concept of a reddit style platform or even social media entirely. So information spread more easily.
And nowadays people just sign up for the account "required" by the OS of their phone which mostly comes with an email address.
