Comment

Comment on Defaults are crucial for good UX and getting more users on the Fediverse

Top 10 ( lemmy.fediverse.observer/list )

LW
lemm.ee
lemmynsfw.com - not suitable
sh.itjust.work - shit in the name, not appealing to the average user
lemmy.ml - power tripping feddit.uk/post/12952230
lemmy.dbzer0.com - requires to follow and agree the Anarchist code of Conduct - not appealing to the average user
lemmy.ca - Canada-oriented, non-Canadian users might not want to join as they wouldn’t think they would belong
feddit.org - German-focused, feddit.org/c/main content is in German
lemmy.blahaj.zone - queer-focused
programming.dev - programmers-focused

I made a more complete analysis in this post lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37336391 (pinned on !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com ), nowadays I basically go with:

" Lemmy has 47k monthly active users

discuss.online if you want a server located in the USA (content is still accessible from any server, the most difference latency)
sopuli.xyz if you want a server located in the EU
vger.app/settings/install if you want an app

Feel free if you have any questions"

Because yes, the USA/EU question appeared during the Luigi announcement in LW.

An anarchist instance having strict rules is quite ironic.

Does lemm.ee have as obvious a political stance?

- Microw@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago
  Lemm.ee tries to be as middle-ground as possible and defederates from no “controversial” instances

  What “obvious” political stance might that be?
  
  To me, it’s “somewhere on the progressive side of the median” but I’m almost expecting you to say “fascist” or something, given the extent of America’s polarization.
  
  Another thing: in popular communities the comments are coming from all over, so without keeping a mental tally of everyone’s usernames I find it’s getting quite hard to pin down any particular instance’s biases.

    Neoliberal is what I’m referring to.

    This was exactly my point! “Neoliberal.”

  The only time I’ve seen my instance brought up in comments and whatnot is in discussions about how we don’t block any other instances. I’m out here rawdawgging all the propaganda baby

sh.itjust.work - shit in the name, not appealing to the average user

I really don’t understand how this is actually a problem. It’s just “shit”, that’s very moderate profanity.

  Some people are used to browse Reddit at work. Browsing a website with shit on it isn’t ideal.

  honestly when I joined I thought it was “shhh 🤫 it just works”

  But it’s not serious and evokes images of a spotty teenager in a basement.

I would suggest something like phtn.app as an alternative desktop frontend (also has mobile view support)
