Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy
-
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.

tbf a lot of people here don't know how to code, or even where to start if they do

"retention bots" of some description wouldn't surprise me in the slightest..

they're a group of early reddit refugees from when /r/chapotraphouse got banned on Reddit for celebrating John Brown and the death of slave owners. They set themselves up a few years before the mass migrations from the Reddit API debacle, and over time they cultivated a distinctly uncompromising (and at times inscrutable) culture that heavily moderates the slightest hint of Western chauvinism, transphobia, and anti-vegan sentiments.
However, they also despise what they consider the farcical nature of Reddit style civility, and combined with disabling downvotes to force people to vocalize their disagreements, they also have the tendency to dogpile on people that aren't perceived to be acting in good faith.
The biggest conflict with other instances is their third-worldist oriented strain of Marxism-Leninism which has a more accepting view of "AES" (Actually Existing Socialism i.e. China, Cuba, USSR, etc) that leads them to conclusions that critically favor actions by non-socialist states (Russia, Sahel States, Yemen, etc) which undermine the United States/Western hegemony.
When they updated their code to be compatible with federation, their extremely active users clashed pretty hard with the more liberal tide of recent Reddit migrants so the generalist Lemmy instances decided to just defederate from them.

Oh so we badmouthing & smearing the Fediverse huh.
Ok let's ask them what counts as a "Good UI/UX"
& "Endless wars" ? Really ? -
See, I just use Thunder client and the defaults are x1000 times better than the official reddit app.
-
That will be for the Lemmy-folks to judge
-
Good luck & we'll be waiting

How far is "too far left" ?

I don't want anyone staying on Reddit tbh
