Comment on we need more users

  This is such an underrated point. If we want people to join Lemmy, we need an app called Lemmy, on every platform. And if we want to steal users from Reddit, make the UI a clone of the reddit app but better. And allow people to join via the app, not some separate website.

    Or maybe people just need to stop saying “Lemmy” and instead say “Voyager”, or “Boost for Lemmy” or whatever app they would suggest to use?

    It’s like Linux, I don’t suggest people to install Linux because that’s not a thing, I suggest they install Bazzite or Fedora KDE, or whatever I think will suit them best

      Most people would see “use Voyager or boost” to be akin to “use Reddit or Instagram”. Because why would there be more than one app to connect to the app.

      It’s wrong, but any time you break from a standard assumption you require thinking. Once you require thinking, you lose anyone who isn’t otherwise motivated.

        Yea true.

        I didn’t mean you should tell people “use Voyager or Boost for Lemmy”

        I meant you should tell people “use Voyager” or “use Boost for Lemmy” or whatever app you think they would like, but just 1
