I’m devastated! Holy fuck it’s the end of such a great resource. Is there any other plex share communities active at all?

      If someone didn’t bother to use 3rd party apps, they probably wouldn’t bother to switch to a whole new platform. Also federated sites are not intuitive and lemmy is scary of you go in without understanding that.

      I mean, google lemmy and you don’t get much, its not a .com but rather there’s tons of instances which would just look like fake sites. And the design of the official site doesn’t exactly scream trustworthy. Im pretty tech literate and i had to find a tutorial to join the fediverse.

      Im assuming there’s a bunch of folks who just don’t care to put that effort in so they’ll just stick around until it fails to meet their low standards.

        Exactly this. A huge amount of the major lemmy instances look like sites I would explain to my non-tech-savvy parents to avoid blindly clicking on, between domains that most browsers don’t even automatically detect as links, and a ton of, frankly, sketchy af names.
