This will keep happening until Lemmy etc. Have good UX

For the vast majority of users the UX just sucks for most of the fediverse

We need to push for or fund better UX

LMAO the UX on Voyager, my lemmy client blows any reddit free client by a long shot. The UX is excellent. My experience here is much more enjoyable than it is on Reddit. No ads, no suggested content, easy to post, reply, add an image, edit, easy to navigate comments etc. Reddit sucks man.

The funny thing is that this is completely impossible. Only very few, very big or very lucky projects have decent ux and i would even ague that they are THAT much better than proprietary stuff under the hood that they are still comically bad in comparison to their technical prowess.

The reason for this - and yes you will probably disagree - is the shit legislation we have accepted over the past decades. People got addicted to overpolished shitapps with gambling mechanics and dark patterns. The way out is gonna be brutal.

So no, we wont get better ux, preriod. We pay for it or we get buttfu**ed by big tech some more. One way to ensure payment is voting as comically left as you can.

Misskey is fine on computer browsers (minus the absurd javascript resource hog, the page’s first load is slow as fuck), but I don’t think it has any decent FOSS app, mastodon apps don’t necessarily connect to misskey

I can’t tell you how to on-boarding process is these days but the UX of using Lemmy via Voyager is even better than using Reddit. In fact Reddit killing Apollo (the app Voyager is based off of) is the whole reason I’m here

  I had a look at voyager, and it’s UX is perfect for new users. It would be great to get the web to that point photon.lemmy.world seems quite good, maybe that should be default.

    Really anything is better than the default UI. The default Lemmy-ui is functional but not elegant.

I feel like that depends on the frontend you use which is one of the coolest parts, using Photon phtn.app I find the UX actually better than Reddit’s

  Yes it does depend on the front end.
  
  But that’s the thing its not the default front end.
  
  Most users will give up before discovering Photon.
  
  The default experience should be very smooth and require little to no effort and thinking. Like what everyone has gotten used to

  And Voyager is basically Apollo reborn

    Voyager is just as good as Reddit now. Lemmy feels real and not full of bots. I’m starting the switch over now.
