Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy

Been using Lemmy for a couple of years, not seen this once.

Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

These people are just stakeholders in Reddit. They are afraid of change, or losing any rep they have. They sit on a pile of useless upvotes.

I think a lot of people that think the UX is different from reddit weren’t on reddit 14 years ago when it did look very similar to this.

  I barely remember reddit on PC. Except for people trying to convince bitcoin would be valuable - and me thinking they were foolish. I would have sold at $25, anyways.

The UX once you figure out what works for you in Lemmy is nice, the UX getting to that point is terrible, as many have said. Most will quit before getting to the good part.

  Yeah, the UX of alexandrite, Voyager or even the Voyager web app for PC are sublime. I don’t see any difference from reddit tbh.

Really? You never ran into the endless “…furthermore, .ml must be defederated” posts?

  Cofigure swipes to hide posts and just swipe them out? Idk, it’s not hard.

    Oh, sure, especially if it’s the same few users. It’s just mildly surprising to not even run into them.

    You can say the same thing about reddit but people still bitch about it constantly.

Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

The default one is a bit minimal, but we have many Alternative UIs are as modern looking as new Reddit.

They also work much better while being modern looking. There’s a reason so many of us came over here when they got rid of third party apps, the new Reddit interface is… bad.
