oh damn a rif redirect happened?

[–] silversnow__@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

join-lemmy.org shows a few instances at the top of its join page:

lemmy.fmhy.ml (which is based)

sh.itjust.works which im pretty sure is having a free speech or too much user choice problem atm

lemm.ee, a general instance

sopuli.xyz, which i know nothing about (who is finn???)

i dont see .world until a further scroll down from those. did they change it?

is the slogan, front-page of the internet

so far it has the Reddit feel

isnt that reddits slogan? no kidding, buddy. no kidding. (i mean this in a positive way)

sh.itjust.works is an unbearable name to read. i read dots in a website link like the end of a sentence (ex lemmy.world would be lemmy {break} dot {break} world.) good instance, despise the name

i appreciate the message but what is that ui design???

the floating hearts that go over the text. the neon pink background. the fact that this serious pact is in all lowercase (i know im typing in all lowercase, but i think the fedipact is different from an internet forum). the weird text animation for hyperlinks that makes it unreadable for a second. this does not lead to any reasonable credibility

congrats from .ca!

while im here: does anybody actually know why lemmy.world grew the fastest out of all of the instances? its not the "main" instance like .ml, not a safe space like beehaw, and a normal general instance like itjust.works. im curious why out of all places, .world got the main influx

RID (reddit is dead)

...very ironic acronym, lol

 

you're gonna have to hear me out on this one.

so, we all obviously know reddit had a lot of third party apps, due to how bad the official reddit app was.

but heres the thing, right? this isn't reddit. this is a federated alternative, where the owners arent just corporate shills who dont have to care about making a usable app. i appreciate all of the options, dont get me wrong, and i appreciate the tons of effort put into them. but...will lemmy ever be accessable if you have to look up lists of apps to even browse it on mobile?

it makes no sense to me. i think what the lemmy developers should be doing is working on or improving a mobile app; again, this is not reddit, and nobody has to deal with a bad mobile app because all of the people who work on the project are under the whims of a corporate product with over, like, 100 million daily users.

i appreciate the options a lot. i really do. but if the culture of 'go on a separate app to browse on mobile' persists for lemmy, which is way smaller and prone to skepticism, not to mention federation being confusing at first and its poor user joining page (join-lemmy.org), all the reliance on getting other people to make mobile apps does is throttle site growth, in my opinion.

td;lr official lemmy app pls (if feasable)
