    When people are told about Lemmy and look for it in a search engine, join-lemmy.org is one of the first pages that comes up. Here they should be able to find out what Lemmy is, and be able to register an account to start posting. At the moment this still seems too complicated, so I'm looking for your suggestions to improve it: On the main page, is the text relevant and up to date or should anything be changed? How about the instance selection wizard (click "join a server" on the homepage), which lets you select topics and languages to select instances. Do the current options make sense? The instance list itself, is there any information missing, or potential design improvements? And the list of apps, what can be done here? For one thing the data is rarely updated, so we would appreciate pull requests. Any other suggestions you may have. Since yesterday I already made a couple of improvements: Use biased random for instance list, so large instances are always near the top Rename Join to Sign Up in instance list Fix icon overflows by using inline-flex (by @dessalines) Add button to visit random instance (not merged yet) Edit: Here is a draft for some changes to the frontpage: [image: image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fuser-attachments%2Fassets%2Fa6ce3ca1-7da1-4f67-aefb-8de4026ed250] https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/524

    @elettrona sì ma gup.pe non veniva utilizzato perché fosse estremamente ricco di funzionalità Ma solo perché era il primo servizio pensato per un utilizzo di massa. Ora #fedigroups è la stessa cosa di gup.pe, ma in questi ultimi anni si sono affermati sistemi molto più Pratici e con possibilità di moderazione migliori, come quelli delle piattaforme che ho menzionato. Noi stessi abbiamo creato poliverso.org dove è possibile creare account gruppi gestibili direttamente dal proprio account Friendica; feddit.it basato su Lemmy dove abbiamo liberalizzato la possibilità per tutti gli utenti iscritti di creare una nuova comunità tematica; e soprattutto citiverse.it con NodeBB che in questo momento è oggettivamente la piattaforma più interessante del Fediverso. Credo quindi che il tempo del software di gup.pe sia un po' tramontato@fediverso

    Lack of granular privacy / profile control “The lack of privacy controls … our profiles are public, and all our posts and comments are visible to anyone.” (lemmy.toot.pt) Users cannot choose who sees their profile history, comments, or posts. Poor content discovery / lack of niche communities / limited diversity “The platform lacks all the communities … There are no communities for games or music or sports or hobbies or movies or anything.” (Reddit) “Not nearly enough people to cover all the niche interest communities that Reddit does.” (szmer.info) Fragmentation across instances / duplication of communities “Multiple communities dedicated to the same thing across multiple instances … causes confusion …” (Popcar's Blog) “There are duplicate communities: every instance seems to have their own version of each community.” (Reddit) Bad User Experience (UX) / usability issues “Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.” (NodeBB Community) “Simply using them is confusing … accessing remote subs is a complete train wreck.” (Reddit) Performance / reliability / scaling problems “Slow and unreliable” is listed among cons. (Slant) “Servers go down … syncing/federation issues.” (Android Authority) Moderation, safety tools, and content-quality issues “Moderation tooling is not adequate for removing illegal content from servers.” (We Distribute) Users report low content quality (memes, shitposts, agenda memes) instead of high-value discussions: > “The politics is always … or it’s toxic American hyper-partisan … The memes aren’t any better.” (Reddit) Search and archive weak/incomplete “Search sucks … Lemmy isn’t.” (szmer.info) Lack of long-tail content archive. Over-representation of particular content types (US-news, memes, agenda posts) and low content-quality Users note: heavy US-centric news, lots of meme posts, little local news/events or regional content. While I didn’t find direct sources for exactly “too much US news / no local events”, the broader complaint of “lack of niche interest/hobby/sports” covers this. (Reddit) It's not really the previously banned users that are the problem. It's that the real heart and soul of Lemmy is c/2real4meirl or whatever - ie, depression memes. Reddit initially became popular because it was fun and interesting. Lemmy has picked up some of the old reddit crowd by being a bit more tech focused - but for the most point the links and comments posted are doom and gloom. Either AI is taking all our jobs, or its a huge scam. The world is run by evil capitalists who personally want you, in particular, to have a meaningless and miserable life. But don't worry, because we, the proletariat, will overthrow them in a violent revolution... just as soon as we stop doom scrolling and crying in bed - haha, amiright guys? Nothing about this is fun or interesting. It is bitter, angering, and depressing. That is what drives people away. https://lemmy.world/comment/20046325 When you quote a block of text only the first paragraph gets quoted.
