- Comment on EU could tax Big Tech if Trump trade talks fail, says von der Leyen 2 days ago:
As a start, there should be a rule that no government organisation is allowed to use software they don’t have full control over.
We depend too much on Microsoft and AWS etc.
- Comment on For the First Time, Artificial Intelligence is Being Used at a Nuclear Power Plant: California’s Diablo Canyon. 3 days ago:
We really should distinguish between a Algorithm, a LLM and AI
They are very different things, if you let a LLM run your nuclear reactor you’re in for a bad time.

I embrace visits from the Fediverse Chick
- Comment on GenAI website goes dark after explicit fakes exposed 1 week ago:
I think it would boost the market for the real thing more.
It’s possible that there are people that would become into AI generated CP if it was just allowed to be advertised on nsfw website.
And that would lead some to seek out the real thing. I think it’s best to condemn it entirely
- Comment on Selfhosting Sunday - What's up? 1 week ago:
I’ve setup Nextcloud on Hetzner, and have ordered a mini PC to run Immich and experiment with.
Still trying to decide on a good cheap email host that I can also move my family on to eventually.

Fair but when you’re using mobile apps like Voyager or Sync you just get a error and don’t understand why

It will come with time, if possible be the change you want to see. I’m trying to grow the South African sub.
It might take years but 🤷♂️
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 4 weeks ago:
Yea unfortunately a clean easy url matters
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 4 weeks ago:
That’s why I couldn’t upload images, the UI on mobile never gave me an error explaining this, it would be good to better make users aware of this.
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 4 weeks ago:
a big driving force is r/BuyFromEU with 150k active subs and r/BuyCanadian with 300k
They’re trying to move away from US products, including tech.
Also the Luigi censorship as mentioned.
Now is a good time to comment something like this on those subs to help guide people.
Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-AppI use it alongside Reddit, and I’m enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
- Comment on Welcome, new users! 4 weeks ago:
One of the reasons I use this to promote Lemmy is that it defaults to lemm.ee and users don’t run into descision fatigue when picking an instance

It would be nice if it could also default to eg. sh.itjust.works and other generalist instances
- Comment on Digg is about to be rebooted. Thoughts? 4 weeks ago:
If they put a lot of focused on having a good UX and some marketing I could see it outgrow Lemmy the same way Bluesky outgrew Mastodon
- Comment on Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit 5 weeks ago:
Some people will never be happy…
I think people who like .old tend to be more tech savvy, and can figure out how to find a UI they like
- Comment on Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit 5 weeks ago:
Sadly what he says is true to many.
I’ve seen people who were directed to p.lemmy.world call it a dodgy virus link.
And honestly it does look dodgy, lemmy.com would be great.
- Comment on Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit 5 weeks ago:
And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX
Let’s keep guiding them to better UX
- Comment on Big-tech is evil but could Fediverse benefit from more small/medium for-profit companies? 1 month ago:
Sadly the UX here sucks compared to for profit platforms like Bluesky, I don’t know of a good solution, but money is probably needed.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
That problem will go away if we get more people to join lemmy by providing good smooth UX
- Comment on Be the change you want to see in Lemmy 1 month ago:
I’m the OP of one of the posts that blew up about UX.
This is great news, I will look into building something like join-lemmy/onboarding that could guide users, or improving join-lemmy
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 1 month ago:
I use both Sync and Voyager.
Both have things I like and don’t
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
It doesn’t keep dumb people out, it keeps non tech savvy people out, I’ve seen extremely immature people on here
I’d pick a mature user over a tech savvy user any day. Ideally they’d be both
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
The UX is objectively bad, it breaks most good design principles
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
The majority wants better UX (look at up vote ratio of comments)
A fair amount of users want to gatekeep lemmy to only tech savvy people.

There’s a lot of us who just want better on boarding and defaults, it’s not a lot to ask.
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
You don’t have to AB test all instances, we can do smaller tests.
But yea that’s complicated and takes effort, instead we should at least follow good UX design principles for the default UX
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
We could do AB testing and see what users prefer.
Or at least change the Default Ui to adhere to good UX design principles
- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 1 month ago:
That would help if they had a clue which one was near them.
Default to “nearest” one?
