Fediverse

Mobile users can be pointed towards alternative clients. Makes the whole thing much more manageable and familiar. I use sync (which no longer seems to be being updated) but there are others. Don't know if there's a desktop equivalent but that might help with UX problems.

Also, re onboarding - many Lemmites might be astonished to realise how many non technical ppl don't know what a server is and are intimidated by the term. Maybe just say something like 'Click on the place nearest to you or that you like the sound of'. I dunno, a metaphor. Like, your computer is a toilet, the fediverse is the ocean. When you take a crap and flush, your turd goes to the local sewage facility where it parties with all the other turds before being dumped into the sea.

There's probably a better metaphor, but, y'know.

As a sys admin with a lot of experience, I am still unsure how to maintain and update my lemmy instance. So I am revisiting again, but it seems like we need work on the lemmy docker containers and possibly docker-compose.

are we ready?

idk how to get more people aware of fediverse without joining stuff like reddit again and getting banned repeatedly mentioning fediverse.

This is a small one. I'd like to see a full screen edit window like Reddit has.

Eh, I'm probably leaving here after lemy.lol shuts down. Have fun!

Let's hope this time there won't be a "boycott is over" moment.

When I switched during the API blackout, the first issue I ran into was just a lack of content. That's definitely been resolved since. I think at this point it just comes down to how well they can pick up on the concept of the fediverse, and picking an instance.

Lemmy seems in a great spot. I hope people give it a chance

Only way there is a mass rexit is if the bot accounts get fed up and leave.

Can't say I'm looking forward to swarms of bot accounts descening on Lemmy
