Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

    Why is “drama” on Lemmy always highly exaggerated by people?

    “Endless wars of who federates with who”. What is that person even talking about and who the fuck would even care as a normal user?

      Been using Lemmy for a couple of years, not seen this once.

      Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

      These people are just stakeholders in Reddit. They are afraid of change, or losing any rep they have. They sit on a pile of useless upvotes.

        I think a lot of people that think the UX is different from reddit weren’t on reddit 14 years ago when it did look very similar to this.

          I barely remember reddit on PC. Except for people trying to convince me bitcoin would be valuable - and me thinking they were foolish. I would have sold at $25, anyways.

        Really? You never ran into the endless “…furthermore, .ml must be defederated” posts?

      Not necessailly federation, but I’ve seen a lot of people prejudge commenters for what instance they’re a part of, most commonly calling people from .ml or hexbear tankies just for being on .ml or hexbear. It gets old really quickly.

      There are a few .world posters who make two to three posts a day about how much they hate lemmygrad hexbear and .ml.

        you will probably stop seeing much of that if you block users that post a lot to fediverselore and meanwhileongrad. They’re like the /r/subredditdrama of lemmy
