> I've tried both [Lemmy and PieFed], and the UX is incredibly unintuitive and unpleasant. The main problem is that it's quite hard to discover content you want while avoiding content you don't, Bluesky at least has really good custom feeds that are easy to add (the default feed sucks). Another big issue is the general site layout, it's hard to figure out how to do things as simple as saving a post for later or how to go back to the feed without being redirected back to the post I'm trying to exit.
Maybe they didn't see the "Feeds" feature in PieFed? The top navigation menus in PieFed are a bit messy. Although shareable blocklists could be cool too, or maybe toxic?
> That's excluding the horrible lack of contrast most frontends use, which makes reading and parsing the site elements unnecessarily difficult (no Lemmy, grey text on a grey background is not good for readability).
I like the Lemmy colors, but maybe it should be easier to change, because they might like the darkly-pureblack theme.
---
> Fediverse feels slower, but not in a good way. More of a ‘if I don’t use this for a week, I’ll see new things’. If I log in after 2 or 3 days, I’ll scroll for 10 minutes and see the stuff I saw last time.
Maybe this is a UX issue of not finding the right feed they would like.
> I also want nsfw stuff now and then. I hate how censored the internet has become, at least with reddit if I want to see a bit of porn, I can.
Again maybe a UX issue of not presenting what communities they could subscribe to.
---
> I tried twice to join those forums within the Fediverse and I can't get past the captcha test. The fact that you need approval to validate your access doesn't seem designed to encourage you to recommend it.
The captchas on Lemmy are AWFUL, I can't do them either.

(that's the "Medium" difficulty)
Lemmy v1.0 is adding the ability to do invites, so maybe there will be an invite-only instance that gets some momentum, that could be cool. Invite sites seems like a cool old-internet type of culture.
---
> The fediverse stuff is way too complicated for me, Reddit is very easily accessible and actually has active communities for the topics I'm interested in.
Of course these are naturally going to be all negative because they're users that bounced off the Threadiverse, but there's probably hints to what can be improved

Nice.

We have posts already. Even if we literally did not have any existing posts, optimizing for maximum comments per post means you make at most one post per community per day.
And most importantly you should be eager to reply to comments in your posts, if you posted it then it would be something you're interested in.

Lemmy does not need more posts, it needs more comments. It needs the personal touch of people manually reading and responding to the posts with their own personality.

For a community, we already have !fedigrow@lemmy.zip (for growing communities) and !fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com (for growing the Fediverse)
Also if we're focusing on growing a specific community we should probably also try to let people outside of Lemmy know about it (Reddit/Discord/Twitter...)

Sure but IDK that just doesn't seem important. That's the same issue we had switching from Reddit to Lemmy. My Reddit posts aren't gone and neither are my programming.dev posts, I'm here on retrolemmy.com now and I'm fine leaving my old account behind. If I need to edit an old post then I'll open programming.dev but that doesn't bother me.

Then they're the same as the Reddit users who refuse to move. It's not hard to move to a different Lemmy/PieFed instance, that's our strength. You can export your account data and import it to your new instance so your subscriptions transfer.

> i want to see posts from communities that i already subscribed to, but because there's more than 1000 communities on the fediverse and i'm only subscribed to a small countable subset of them, i inevitably lose out on a lot of content. (The "all" feed sucks unfortunately). So how to solve this?
You don't use the Subscribed feed? I like Subscribed+Scaled
> The Fediverse significantly lacks behind on the Content Discoverability technology.

Admins are volunteers who deal with the latter group on a constant basis, this takes a mental toll. Please understand why our admins chose to step down, and be kind to the admins on whatever instance you decide to join.

does Reddit have any of these tools built-in? they sound cool, but they can also be built externally (I believe an automod exists?), and I would say correctly take a back seat to bug fixes

Everyone thinks the moderation/admin features need to be improved. I'm curious which improvements people are really needing. Whenever I see big complaints about it (beehaw, lemmy.one) I never see any specifics. Link the filed Github issues for them otherwise the feature requests don't really exist, and I'd like to give them thumbs up reactions so they get prioritized more.
Once I saw Beehaw give an actual specific complaint, and it was fixed in a hotfix (v0.18.5) within a couple weeks. Of course Beehaw never updated to that version anyways.
