  • No I am saying to me it seems like the vast majority of confusion for new users is giving them this super long detailed explanation of federation, and/or users trying to figure out which instance they should be joining. As a new user all you really have to know is to go on lemmy.world and signup and its just like reddit.

    What I said is what I've done and have had zero to worry about.

    Yeah thats fair on your communities disappearing. Not really a common things thats happening though, and not something youd really notice until you used it for a while.

  • Can you add me too. Desktop/mobile/Android/Ios all in one.

    Though I see now mine looks just like wefwefs and they're way ahead of me so I lost quite a bit of motivation to do this.

    Very important note: We need Oauth. Putting your username/password onto an external app is not safe. A malicious dev can log all of it.

  • I worked at Tinder, we had something like 100 engineers for 20 million or whatever daily active users., and I think it was rather well managed with everyone doing a part. Reddit is 20x user wise and far more complex feature wise, so maybe it makes sense.

    It seems absurd, but there's a lot of things going on that you don't think about. Bots, Ads, Moderation tooling, User management, Chat feature, NFTs, revenue features, push notifications, user targeting, ranking algorithms, etc all consist of whole teams.

    Anyone want to collaborate on a new Lemmy UI? Built in Svelte

    There's a ton of issues with the UI I want to address and there's a number of things I want to experiment such as how communities are subscribed to, so I started writing a new UI in SvelteKit. I also have Capacitor setup which would allow this to triple as a native iOS and Android application.

    Would love some help if anyone is interested.

    Preview so far though much yet still has to be done

    Forget growth, lets enjoy what we have

    There is a huge emphasis I see on just growing community size and creating an alternative to reddit.

    Back in the day we used to hang out in irc chats with 5-10 active users or forums with few thousand users max. I made friends there I visted across countries. Years after Id log in and people would ask how you've been.

    I had a reddit account for over 10 years and I dont think a single person would recognize my username. Its always felt like people aren't talking to you but trying to appeal to the whole audience for points. Reddit exploits our psychology for attention but nothing humane is gained there. The super massive "community" ends up as a void where 99% of posts go completely unseen and any discussions suffer heavily from mod mentalities.

    If this a place where even just ten people call home but feel good doing so, that is more good than a million being miserable. Maybe the best alternative is not to be reddit altogether.

    Besides, good things have a natural tendency to spread
