With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

Most people aren’t concerned about privacy outside of places like here and Reddit.

Hmmm, on the bright side, with lemmy going mainstream maybe some of this culture (including privacy and FOSS) becomes more and more openly discussed.

I mean I love Lemmy but I don't see it going mainstream :/
It's too weird for the general user

The irony of this comment duplicating 😅 but yeah you're right, there needs to be a lot of streamlining first

I've seen this issue hundreds of times on red dot

jsjajsj yeah, Jerboa froze on me so I had to retype the comment. I didn't realise it had already gone through.

[–] gothicdecadence@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I had that issue with Jerboa a lot so I switched to Liftoff, it's much smoother!

I dunno. Lemmy isn't all that weird outside the first little bit of choosing an instance and signing up for communities. Everything since that has felt extremely normal to me. Some more thought about that and a good instance onboarding workflow can be implemented, that seems like a solvable problem.

I completely agree, I don't find it difficult at all. But I have already tried to recommend it to a couple of friends and just having to go through those first steps was enough for them not to want to use Lemmy.

Not sure why it’s weird, it’s just reddit but open source?
