Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
Those comments are fairly meaningless. Federation wars? Where? There was some controversy like a year ago from why I recall and everyone has moved way on. I wouldn’t even consider that UX either.
-
The first year after the api debacle in 2023 was rife with culture class of redditors tromping through anarchist and communist communities and instances and freaking the fuck out they're allowed to exist.
Those instances have resulted in defederations or there's been enough fatigue and migration that these days its really just down to like 3 chronically obsessed users variously spamming about it.
-
In the early years fo Reddit, those wouldn't exist either. You have to start with bigger groups (NFL, NHL, etc) and split them if they ever get big enough.
-
You don't even have to sign up to view posts or comments.
-
Maybe I’m more tech oriented than many, but I don’t find federation confusing at all. I’ve never understood why it’s described that way.
-
Every other post is some worldist idiot whining about ml
-
Um… okay, if the fairly mainstream for our demographic politics here repels certain people, good.
-
So Lemmy is filtering out people who can’t take 5 minutes to understand a simple concept and make a decision?
-
What I don’t get is why not pretend it’s centralized and just recommend a server when you introduce someone to lemmy instead of trying to teach them?
Oh you want an alternative to Reddit, here, go to lemmy.ca since your Canadian.
-
I seriously have no idea what you’re talking about.
-
Especially because most users respond to this with “good.”
good.
Your comedic timing is impeccable.

Shut down as in 'that's a terrible idea for the fediverse'
If it was public & randomly sorted to the fediverse Lemmy servers, I don't see how it would be an issue
-
Is there any way to set one up that protects the anonymity of the people involved (where even the organizers don't know each other's real names) for opsec purposes?
-
Honestly, joining a community just for the type of content they have or what they filter is useless. Best approach for me is to have access to everything and then filter what you don't like by yourself.
-
Am used to New Reddit UX (2020-2022ish) but i still like this tbh.
-
Even the NFL one, the front page of posts the most comments is 10.
-
Discoverability is a serious issue on Lemmy. I'd wager there's a shitload of people here interested in the big US sports, but unless you know where the community is (and there's often multiple, and sometimes on instances you're not linked to), you're not going to see it.
There's just not enough users for any algorithm pushing of obscure communities you might be interested in either.
