I’ll enjoy following my favourite artists on Threads from the comfort of Mastodon when they’re federated 🗿
You must be my sleep paralysis demon
Alot of them are moving though thanks to twitter repeatedly fucking up, I’ve been seeing some artists and such on mastodon recently that were only on twitter before.
People just need to spread the word; there isn’t a marketing campaign or anything for the fediverse after all.
Mastodon is already pretty active, and is also part of the fediverse
Peertube, but it’s extremely small right now.
Odysee is bigger, but it’s not federated
There is no ‘main’ website. It’s all connected. People just started joining that because it’s big and overloaded it, and now it’s having federation and stability issues.
It’s definitely possible at least, some solutions are suggested in this github issue
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.
Instance migration, lemmyverse.net functionality in lemmy, and assigning new users to a good random instance upon registration (and letting them change it of course) so they don’t need to know about instances, are the three most important features lemmy needs rn imo
Connect and Liftoff are better than Jerboa atm, try those
They’d of course be able to select instances, I just meant having a random good one selected by default when registering.
By good I mean one that’s not too massive, isn’t defederating popular instances, and isn’t a questionable one that’s likely to be defederated itself.
And I don’t think they should explain too much, new users are easily scared away.
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
That’s another thing. People need to stop recommending the massive servers and recommend smaller ones like vlemmy.net, lemmy.one or lemm.ee instead, at lest until lemmy’soptimized for user counts of this scale. Those servers have also been upgraded for the surge of users after all, and everything’s connected anyway.
In fact, I think lemmy clients should go as far as to assign new users randomly to good general servers like these upon registration so they don’t even have to know about instances; would make the onboarding much better
This seriously needs to implemented in lemmy already. Not being able to see the true member count/activity of all communities is a massive blow to discoverability and very anti-ux, and likely the biggest hurdle for newcomers.
Memmy is great too, and also on both Android and iOS
You do have to build it yourself for Android right now though, hope it’ll be on the playstore soon.
More effective would just be making the site easier to use for newcomers, particularly tackling the onboarding and community discoverability.
Some straightforward ways I can think of would be apps assigning users randomly to a good general instance (like lemm.ee, vlemmy.net, or lemmy.one) that isn’t extremely overloaded when registering
and integrating lemmyverse.net’s functionality into lemmy itself, cuz not being able to see a list of all communities and their true member count/activity in Lemmy itself is a huge blow to user experience.
