That new ugly UI.
It's so damn cluttered.
@lemm.ee
I think Lemmy's biggest challenges are server stability, increased complexity to use (most don't understand things like instances), and low awareness from others. I only learned about it a day or two ago. Signed up out of curiosity.
But if Lemmy gets even more popular then the various popular instances are going to be stressed. It looks unstable to newcomers who go back to Reddit.
I signed up for lemmy.world originally, constantly had Gateway errors. Lemm.ee seems more stable due to lower traffic.
But others may not be able to recognize that. Even if they did, might not want to create new accounts for several instances and go back to starting from 0.
A number of us picked lemm.ee because we heard it was more stable. And it's true. None of that constant gateway errors.
Thing is? More who join lemm.ee the more resource we use and the more unstable it could become.
One aspect I'd love (and is apparently in the works) is swapping instances while keeping your history. A migration tool of sorts. Would help.
Still the roughness is sorta endearing in its own way. But I don't think it'd be endearing to most people.
In theory, that'd offload population and increase stability.
But there's always going to be big instances that are just naturally more populated.
Account creation is tedious so people may not be willing to make a new account. If there was an easy way to swap instances without account creation, that might reduce issues.
thanks for using Leebra!
