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.
Be careful with that. I went back in time and edited my posts to contain small errors to make them useless wastes of time for the reader and poison AI.
That just seems malicious to anyone who might find your answer and get increasingly frustrated by your incorrect advice.
That’s OK. Reddit later forced my account from my hands and I no longer have access to it. So it’s not my problem.
They decided to ban me but keep the posts. Their loss.
No, it’s not your problem, it’s the rest of ours (thanks for that), but it is your fault.
(just don’t use reddit)
It makes reddit less helpful i dont want to be helpful if it helps reddit make a dime
Yeah and we hate you for it.
I used to, then reddit banned me, now I cant delete my comments, it feels awful that im helping ppl and a site im banned from is making money off me, it doesnt matter if its even a dollar of ad money, what if my comment showing up on google motivates someone to dload the app
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
I don’t have any issues with the lemmy interface.
I’d rather they don’t mess it up to appease people who prefer reddit’s interface, old or new.
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.
Really shows the average intelligence of the average internet user.
As I get smarter, they just stay the same!
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.
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 [email protected] !
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.
Why is Brave bad?
That post is actually how I got here. This is my first Lemmy comment ever.
I think a big problem I see with several pro-lemmy comments in that thread (but also other threads) is that they completely miss the point of the user and just try to shove down the same message that isn’t actually relevant to OP.
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.
Or when OP says that they’ll probably just leave social media entirely when Reddit goes bad, and people tell them to use Lemmy apps…
It honestly feels sometimes like I’m reading bot responses. Imo this is just turning people off even more, the ads need to be more context aware.

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.
