I know that the purpose of Lemmy is to be split into instances and stuff to stay independent or whatever, but - imo - if it really wants to become a true alternative for Reddit it needs one place for users to land. Something like “LEMMY.COM” where you can see all instances + all communities, where you can log into your instance, maybe even log into more than one instance at once (let’s be honest, who doesn’t have a separate porn account these days lul)
The thing is, most of us used Reddit until now instead of Lemmy because Reddit did the overall browsing experience a lot better. Yeah it needed the help of third party apps for that, true, but I could just open reddit, look at r/all or my subscribed subreddits and be done with it. Being on Lemmy feels like “oh yeah, this is a great idea, but wow it is very inconvenient to look through this place”
(Btw, I LOVE the lemmy logo!)
From any of the big instances, the ‘all’ tab already does that, or am I missing something?
If you’re looking for a go-to site then join-lemmy.org has links and everything.
Nope that’s the idea. You make your own front page.
Exactly
I am maybe describing it badly, but I mean something instance independent. A hub of sort. Something that is “the frontpage of Lemmy” so to speak.
I dont wan’t to change any of the core functions of Lemmy, like what I think would still include all the instances and stuff, but it could all be accessed from that main hub as well.
Maybe you could compare it to an app that lets you switch between several accounts for the same service. Or even connect several accounts for the same service.
