Mastodon is already pretty active, and is also part of the fediverse
B-but lemmings...
This needs to be integrated into Lemmy asap; really hurts discoverability and makes comms look way smaller than they are to new users.
This, instance migration, and assigning new users to good general instances like lemm.ee or vlemmy.net upon registration (letting them change it of course) so they don't need to know about instances would go a long way to being user friendly.
Isn't that the whole point though? Not relying on a single entity by spreading out, but still being connected?
Fragmentation would be fixed by just integrating lemmyverse.net's functionality into lemmy itself (like in this github issue), allowing users to see the true user count/activity of comms and incentivise them to join the most popular one.
Needs to be done asap imo; comm discoverability is not good right now and is probably the single biggest hurdle for new users
Key difference is that they're making (alot of) money of off the stolen work, and in a way that's only possible for the already filthy rich
Wouldn't mind it personally if it was foss though, like their name suggests
Use and recommend lemm.ee, lemmy.one, and vlemmy.net to others
Seriously, stop recommending large servers when lemmy hasn't been optimized for that yet. The point of decentralization is spreading out and still being connected; let's not waste that advantage.
wefwef.app, Thunder, Connect, and Liftoff are already amazing btw. Boost for Lemmy and Sync for Lemmy are in the works.
Jerboa actually gives off RiF vibes for me, though it's definitely still its own thing.
On pc use this to make it look a bit more like old.reddit. I hope tweaks like this get combined into a single extension later like RES
Fyi the real member count is almost 20k; the sidebar only shows how many are subscribed to it from your instance.
It shows 360 from vlemmy.net for example.
It opening back up before the big wave of users on July 1st is also very unfortunate.
Subs should stay in protest at least until a week after Sync for Lemmy and some of the many apps in development release in a few weeks imo
105
[META] If the sub does stay open, this Lemmy community should at least be linked in the sidebar as the main hub.
(vlemmy.net)
I don't know if the mods of this comm even have any control over the sub anymore after the admin intervention, but I think this would be the most reasonable outcome.
It's currently listed as the fallback forum, which is a damn shame because the sub is a big source of users; it's why I moved too.
People who do want a better alternative with 3rd party apps can only move if it's properly listed.
Listing it even as a sister community would be better than what it is right now.
We're just getting started. Sync for Lemmy and Memmy's (heavily inspired by Apollo) release in a few weeks will go a long way for accessibility, and will likely already offer better UX than reddit.
No doubt contributors in the GitHub will add similar UX features as those fantastic apps once they're out.
