It’s unfortunate that people still think Brave is a good privacy alternative. Ungoogled-Chromium is a better alternative but also unfortunately requires manual upkeep. The best alternative is to use Mull or LibreWolf currently and some form of abstraction if you’re concerned about security as well.
And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX
Let’s keep guiding them to better UX
I don’t know if we want users who can’t grasp the concept that Lemmy and Lemmy.world are different entities and thinks that all of Lemmy should just be Lemmy.com
I think just having a Lemmy branded app with a proper UX is a good thing but let’s not just throw the baby out with the bathwater chasing people who just want Lemmy to be Reddit but it doesn’t make them feel yucky using it.
Thank you for your comments on Reddit btw
Do we have any fun infographics to help educate those that aren’t autodidacts?
This guide is pretty good https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/get-started
Not sure if it’s “fun”, but there was this meme: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21725602
I’m willing to discuss UI/UX issues but that top comment is just stupid.
The first complaint is that “lemmy.world” shouldn’t exist, because websites should be dot com. That’s not a UI/UX issue, that’s just ignorance. As we all know Bluesky has also failed to pickup any users due to its URL bsky.app, you obviously can’t have a dot app website!
The second argument is worth looking at, but it’s unclear based on their comment what went wrong. If you go to Reddit and search for Brazil/Brasil do you just magically find every community you’re looking for? I doubt it. Discovery can and should be improved but this person found an instance before a community?
Part of me just thinks this place needs a natural barrier to entry. Look what happened to the internet when the iPhone released.

I’ve been trying the Photon/Voyager approach, the issue is that some people despise Photon and modernist interfaces with a passion, there’s a comment on that thread I had to link to old.lemmy.zip
Some people will never be happy…
I think people who like .old tend to be more tech savvy, and can figure out how to find a UI they like
Maybe alongside the modern UIs, you could include a line about the mlmym interfaces.
But then they’ll say it’s confusing to have several links to the same website x)
In my opinion, most people won’t get confused by the ‘old’ interface being at a different subdomain, especially as Reddit did it themselves (apparently they had
new.reddit.comwhich hosted an older redesign thanreddit.com, like wtf!?? But somehow people understood that distinction, so this should be fine) Then again, I could be too much of a nerd and overestimating people :P (insert relevent xkcd here)btw, does sopuli.xyz have the mlmym interface?

Like when OP complains about the user experience with the example of accessing a not-yet-federated community, clearly a mechanical problem that can’t easily be fixed by a redesign, and the replies advertise alternate Lemmy frontends or apps. Those don’t help with OP’s issue at all.
The first point of that comment is about the interface, hence the suggestions to alternative frontends.
The community was federated, but the user wasn’t using their local version, they thought they had to use the community host instance.
Reddit is trash. I got banned for hating on Nazis, they will bend to Trump, cut off porn and throw the ban hammer down. Reddit is only good for finding tech answers from the past. Everything else is trash.
I never got banned. I just left because the greedy little CEO is a liar that sacrificed the only thing that made the site good, 3rd party apps, on the alter of the almighty dollar during the API debacle.
To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020. The killing of 3rd party apps just gave me the motivation to finally leave

Wasn’t that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse? 🤔
Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
Though some subs I’ve been banned from over there the reasons were as simple as “criticizing China and/or Russia” or “participating in a specific other sub”
The subs I hang around in are currently the same to right wingers (downvoted to oblivion) but that’s partly because attempting to participate in a lot of lefty subs over there you get banned for talking about China in a negative way. The other subs aren’t political so those ones aren’t too bad.
Nice, but the only comment I see about Lemmy, is someone who can’t comprehend that the domain “lemmy.world” exists and not “lemmy.com”, because “that’s what an internet address is to the average user”.
Sadly what he says is true to many.
I’ve seen people who were directed to p.lemmy.world call it a dodgy virus link.
And honestly it does look dodgy, lemmy.com would be great.
God yeah, what a frustrating sentiment to see. Very common among people who won’t give the fediverse any modicum of good faith engagement. “This is different from what people are used to and is therefore bad” instead of understanding that maybe there’s a reason it’s built that way.

While it’s excellent that Lemmy is getting some attention out on the capitalist web, I’m not sure I’m personally interested in hearing about what is trending on Reddit in the Fediverse community - for me, Fedibridge seems like a great community specifically for that. But I might be a minority, not trying to be negativistic! :)
Shared feeling to be honest. But for people interested, join us on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com !
