Ohm no !

For how long now?

Definitely not critical. As you said, familiarity can be quite important in a genus-differentia kind of way. For me it definitely was: being familiar to Reddit I could think that Lemmy is just like it but better. Same with Twitter and Mastodon.

Good post, but still raises the issue to a new level: above lemmy, there's another choice: which flavor of the fediverse do I want? twitter-like ? reddit-like ? etc

This worked :)

The point is there is no clear path to use lemmy.. Just because there are so many options.

Just like going for the first time to a Starbucks and asking for a coffee. Some people just want a coffee.. Not the whole headache of choosing.

In this regard, probably a paragraph saying :"here, try this server - it's fast because it's not overcrowded (or any other reason, if any), and try this client - find it on your favourite app store"

This offers the user a baseline for his experience. After he gets the hang of it, when he feels prepared to try the other options, he can do it at his own pace. Not needing to figure out too many things before even trying.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really hoping this will overthrow proprietary platforms, but right now this is my two cents on onboarding. Cheers

I was thinking this cold prove necessary in the context of different servers policies. Got example, if my server would change policies to something I am not willing to agree, then it would be nice to migrate to another server

Eternity Android client allows grouping communities into a multi community, but it only helps on getting consolidated feed, not necessarily reaching the same people

Is there a way to move myself as an user from one server to another?

What's the vision for using lemmy? User should create an account on one server, and use all? Or should create users on multiple servers? The first one seems like the way to go, but it wasn't quite clear for me when I signed up

This should be among the first priorities. It would really help kick things off. Not only niche communities, but bigger ones as well. They represent topics of interest. I think I've seen a thing like macro community in one of the clients?! Could that be it?

Hello dumb! I'm dad
