I know this is the wrong thing to focus on, but federated social media is really lacking sex appeal. Like the technology powering it is so cool, but many of the clients (especially the defaults) are ugly.

I’m not saying form over function, but I find well-designed + functional apps really enjoyable to use. I want to be the solution. I’m writing my own Lemmy client and I really hope I can deliver on the sex appeal in addition to an amazing user experience.

I agree. And I cant rightfully feel that way and not contribute more so here's to turning a new leaf

Try another server. I use r.nf and it's very fast. Decentralisation is pointless if everyone flocks to the same server.

If people want freedom and independence, they're going to have to a little work for it, because those things never come for free. And yes, that is a feature, not a bug. That "I should not ever have to engage my grey matter" mentality is the whole cause of the corporate fascist mess in the first place.

I dislike the constant reddit comparisson.

Lets just try to be our own thing. Not like reddit and also not unlike reddit just be lemmy.

you're not wrong! back when i was considering mastodon, i found finding a good client difficult, and i understand plenty of people aren't too fond of just using the sites anymore.

My joke is so good, that you do not cry right now.

There's a lot more aggressive unpleasant people. Or bots. That's the scary things these days, we don't know what's real anymore. People we talk to online or see. If it's fake trumped up hysteria.

Or even takes pictures of videos.

And I don't see it getting any better.

You're probably right tbh

It was a joke, people comment (and sometimes complain) about how much I post on the regular.

[email protected]

Reddit prob got big because they used bots to fudge their upvote numbers to make their site look more active than it is, I'm saying this with no evidence lol

[email protected]

Ohh I know how much you post, half my comments are on your posts lol.

ZeroOne

Or just any FOSS & Decentralized platforms in general

Actually this Odysee post explains what I want to say about stregthening Alternative platforms

I think reddit has a huge advantage due to search engine indexing, and the wide berth of communities which provide support for technical issues or nicher interests. It kind of brought all these into one place, which im sure is excellent in regards to SEO

It's hard to avoid the comparison when Lemmy is basically a clone

Already done

sign up is confusing.

"Lemmy has 42k monthly active users

https://discuss.online/ if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
https://sopuli.xyz/ if you want a server located in the EU
https://vger.app/ if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

Yeah, I'm trying to change Reddit by Lemmy, and I'm moving out of Instagram, since I made it just to connect with friends (so I still have to ask some friends for contact info outside Reddit and Instagram so I can quit for good)

The thing with Odysee is that I see A LOT of right-wing and religious nuts in my feed, even before login in, and in comment sections , and that alone basically drived me out

No worries, MedicPigBabySaver.
