Ah ok. Ich benutze Lemmy seit ner Woche mit der Photon UI und der Button fehlt da anscheinend. Hab gerade auch mal bei anderen alternativen UIs geguckt und die haben den Button anscheinend fast alle nicht. Nur mlmym hat sowas. Denke das sollte man in Zukunft vielleicht mal ändern. In der Eternity App sehe ich auch keinen Button.

Woran sieht man das?

What I’m trying to say is that every social network has it’s quirks that you just need to learn. The willingness to learn also depends on how attractive the platform is. With time i see no reason for lemmy to not grow like reddit did.

If you just google “Lemmy” one of the first results is https://join-lemmy.org/ where you are directed to an instance that suits you. Far from perfect but Lemmy is still young.

People probably don’t even really need to understand federation. They just need sane defaults to get started and work from there.

The only additional step you have on lemmy is choosing an instance and honestly it does not even matter that much which you choose. I’m not saying it’s trivial but it is nothing that is inherently more difficult.

Reddit was really strange compared to everything else a few years ago. It only appears easy now because we are familiar with the concept of subreddits now.

Yes, especially with Ramstein located in Germany being an important global hub for the US.

I remember joining reddit when it had the old interface and thinking that it is super unintuitive and complicated compared to all other social media. This didn’t stop reddit from growing and i don’t think lemmy will be restricted by this in the long run. People generally are just not aware of the fediverse and how it works yet but they will get used to it.
