Small things like 'Auto expand media' being set to true, can have a huge impact on user retention rate.

The vast majority of people never open or change default settings in the social media they use.

When they try out Lemmy etc., and the defaults aren’t great a lot of them will have a bad User Experience and leave.

I’m a IT professional, and joined Lemmy a few months ago, the UX sucked, most of that could have been fixed by having good defaults in place.

I powered through, but I won’t recommend Lemmy to many of my friends or family because I know they will give up due to too much friction in finding the right settings and how things work.

For the Fediverse to succeed focus needs to be put on giving people a very smooth UX from first opening a app or page, to finding enjoyment seeing and engaging with content.

Kind of answers the suggestion I had a while ago ( https://lemmyverse.link/lemm.ee/post/52588852 ) to have instances that would hide political communities from the All feed to be more welcoming to new joiners.

If a generalist instance implemented a similar hide list, it could become the one recommendation for new joiners, at it would avoid overwhelming them with politics.

From the OOP:

Upvote RSS is a self-hosted project I've been working on that generates RSS feeds from social aggregation websites like Reddit, Lemmy, and Hacker News. You can subscribe to subreddits, Lemmy communities, and Hacker News while filtering to only the top posts. It will embed Reddit post media (videos, images, galleries), and you can optionally include parsed article content, AI-generated summaries, top comments, and more. Here are some of the features:

• Supports subreddits, Hacker News, Lemmy communities, and more to come
• Configurable filtering to dial in the right number of posts per day in your feed reader
• Embedded post media: videos, galleries, images
• Parsers to extract clean content and add featured images
• AI article summaries
• Estimated reading time, score, and permalinks to the original post
• Top comments
• NSFW filtering/blurring (Reddit only)
• Custom Reddit domain
• Light/dark mode for feed previews

Here's the GitHub link if you'd like to give it a spin:

And the preview website (not all options are available here):

I have a small blog on Lemmy (shoutout lemmy.ml/c/dginovker) - And I've decided to crosspost relevant submissions onto Reddit.

Exhibit A for people who want to (not) brigade https://old.reddit.com/r/leetcode/comments/1impdhc/why_im_quitting_leetcode_1234_day_streak/?

Cross posting this here for visibility as it's easy to not see the edit. They are adding thoughts and resources to the post as they evolve so maybe keep an eye out for future edits.

I think the questions they have are very reasonable & they have welcomed cis people to discuss on the post (but not elsewhere on the subreddit)

I'm new to Lemmy and doing what I can. Long time member of the subreddit. Maybe some of you all are better than me at discussing these topics with them?

Thank you all for your help so far 🫶

If you still have a Reddit account, feel free to jump in

Best explanation wins no prize, but could be used as a template when Discord is suggested as an alternative on Reddit.

Based on

• owenfromcanada's comment - the "pros" of Lemmy (memes, beans, etc.)
• ByteOnBikes' comment - about not making Lemmy advertisement too slick, like corporations would.

SVG source for anyone willing to give it a try. Made with Inkscape. The emojis were added as images because Inkscape.

It has been there for 3 months, but still it seems like a fitting place to share, also a rare example of an official subreddit having a mbin magazine as a back up. It leads to !firefox if you want to follow it.

Just curious. I miss mainly language stuff, some video game communities (like RoN, KCD) and some local communities like for Arabs or Saudis (tbf those were always cesspits but I miss talking to other Arabs on Lemmy)

I'll try to be the change I want to see. How about you?

As this project appears to be fairly unknown in the fediverse still, I’d like to use this opportunity to advertise Flohmarkt. This Fediverse equivalent of Facebook Marketplace already has some instances up and running - see here: https://codeberg.org/flohmarkt/flohmarkt/wiki/flohmarkt-instances

The developers are always open for discussion on their IRC channel: https://web.libera.chat/?nick=GithubGuest%3F#flohmarkt

Please feel free to host a local instance for your city/town and invite friends and family to post. Flohmarkt relies on local relationships and pick-up items only rather than shipping stuff worldwide.
