The migration of large communities from Reddit to Lemmy is like a world-renowned band performing an acoustic set in a library for 50 people. (lemmy.world)

The fanbase is still large, but the Lemmy community hasn't quite caught up yet, and now there is a transitional period where the audience is smaller.

Never underestimate the importance of convenience and the lack of work most people will do in most circumstances— and I'm not even blaming those people. A third-party tool will never catch on the way a built-in, organic convenience will.

It's not even that I won't do the work, I will. It's just a shitty experience is all.

I don't mean you specifically, friend. I'm just talking about the general (but not absolute, obviously) nature of people. But yee.

My bad if I made you think I took it as something negative, I just meant my comment to reinforce what you're saying. Because you're right, we'll do it, normies won't.

No worries, and indood.

Hmm, would be great if there was a like a nice, accessible list of these things for new users - tools and the like - and a link to that list was available on the Sign-up screen, right across Lemmy...

Would certainly go some way to reducing the friction between starting and knowing what you're doing.
