Oh cool so we’re gonna get another wave of users joining lemmy, it’s nice that they keep fucking up at such a regular cadence

I don’t think there’s really going to be some noticeable influx, but I hope so. Even though Lemmy isn’t nearly intuitive as it could be, but it did improve atleast by some degree.

Voyager is pretty intuitive and can be used without even joining a instance

Voyager is the spiritual successor to Apollo and an all around fantastic application.

Reddit isn’t really intuitive either. Most platforms have at least some learning curve. We have a great ecosystem of apps that help. I only wish a YouTuber would make a good explainer.

Here’s one for the Fediverse that I saw recently: https://youtu.be/QzYozbNneVc

Well that’s definitely true in some areas, like the search bar (it’s just awful, not non-intuitive).

Well that’s the problem though isn’t it? If to use the website you need a literal tutorial, then something is fucked. I realize the irony of saying this on Lemmy, but the platform just isn’t very user friendly at all. Hell, you could say the same about the whole Fediverse, it’s an interesting idea and technology, but for the average person it’s too much of a hassle compared to normal social media.

Using Boost on both it’s like I never left. Biggest differences are a bit less diversity here, duplicate communities from different instances, and the spoiler tags don’t work.

It’s funny because the demographics here remind me very much of old 2010-era Reddit—very techy and/or progressive types making up 90% of discussion.

I think about 2014ish is about the point where Reddit peaked in quality, so we’re at least replaying from a good save state here. I fully anticipate lemmy will hit the same peak in a few years and hopefully continues on to surpass it

The duplicate community across instances could really use a solution, maybe like a multimunity?

We say registrations go from 1 or 2 a day to 14 (other instances saw similar upswings). Just on this news. If they do implement it we’ll see another Rexxit with similar big numbers.
