You should care about the amount of downvotes on this one
Comment on alien.top is a new level of Reddit crossposting spam
rglullis@communick.news 5 months agoSo far, the reasons that people claim to be upset has more to do with their own ignorance of the current state of affairs than something harmful being done by fediverser or alien.top.
And I don’t mean ignorance as a pejorative. I mean it that I have failed to communicate and educate people about the strategy and plan for fediverser.
To illustrate the point:
Currently the only way to discover new communities and widen your network is by browsing All.
That’s not true. There is browse.feddit.de and fediverser.project. There are communities about new communities. You can browse an user profile to see what communities they subscribe to. All of these are better methods to find new content than browsing “all”.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !newcommunities@lemmy.world

Until these are built into the UI, how is a user supposed to find them when they just want to start using Lemmy? They don’t search for such sites, they browse all. The reason sites like reddit work is because they cater to the non-technical crowd.

By going to /communities and subscribing to the communities that might be of interest?
Seriously, there is no excuse to justify browsing by all.

Yeah but which community on which instance, seriously are you trying to seem so dense? How to make this easy for normies?
People come to lemmy.world but the best community for topic XYZ might not be here so this is the whole point of ALL.

Check “All” to see all communities and subscribe to the ones that might be interesting to you.
