Lemmy feels as a aplha/beta product that we ar all testing right now. Nothing wrong with that, in fact, I like Lemmy more then Reddit. But you cannot expect everyone to love it right now.

For Reddit its clear: you sign up, you search for a community and you subscribe.

Here, you sign up (if you don't get the spinning wheel). You search for a community. Oh, it is on another instance. What is a instance? Then you browse and see different Lemmy websites. You get confused, you heard something about Fediverse but what is it?

Also, there is no karma what important is for many users. Mod tools are extremly limited and all the apps you can use on mobile are in alpha/beta/in development.

There should be a easy to understand welcome page upon sign-up and I think this needs to be prioritized if we want to welcome (more) mainstream users. The post that explains how Lemmy works on c/lemmyworld doesn't cut it.

In addition:

A thread from a former LMG-employee about abuse and insane working conditions:

Please note that the official title of the article is:

Yevgeny Prigozhin: Wagner chief presumed dead after Russia plane crash.

Decided not to delete this post due to the many comments and discussions.

See the Lemmy blog:

At the same time, we are seeing lots of requests to implement major new features, such as migration between instances, or combining similar communities. As described above, we are completely overloaded with work, and definitely won’t have time to implement these in the near future. If there is a feature you want to see implemented, you will likely need to work on it yourself, or find someone who can.

I just fucking love the transparency of the admins of lemmy.world and lemm.ee. Cheers guys!

Did not expect to see this when I woke up today

The speed at which all apps are updated is insane! Not only wefwef.app but also Memmy. The community really wants this project to succeed.

"One vote per IP-address" - So they already tackled the problem that people can vote more then once.

Straight-up asshole design.

Mod from !support@lemmy.world here.

We're currently trying to get in contact with them to maybe help and sort out the spam issue. (Link)

Saw the post here and thought I'll drop my 2 cents.

Uhm, if there is a place to get spoiled… it is in a F1 community post race. This one’s on you mate.

Don’t tell our plans…

When Nico Rosberg takes a selfie in front of a pitbox, the team loses in qualifying/race. Happened a few times in a row now.

I did read that @Ruud said in a post that Lemme.world can handle 1 million users as of right now.

He hopes that other instances get more traction so the crowds are distributed.

Managed to do a screwdriver plug, Floatplane plug and mention dBrand.

My god...

EDIT: and lttstore.com smh

Besides from the user count. Does it feel more active lately? That's a more important question imo.

Pinned the post as long as the Summer Sale lasts. Handy overview for everyone to discuss it.

I would not be surprised if Apple does not mention it, in any keynote, ever.

Why?
