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-App
I use it alongside Reddit, and I’m enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over
One of the reasons I use this snippet below 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
What’s the community called if we may ask?
Let us help you move it over to Lemmy, and take over mod responsibilities
I get you’re angry, but I don’t think this is the best way to get people to try out Lemmy
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
“Braaibroodjie” - South Africa
It’s a Toastie made on a wood fire, usually containing tomato, onion, cheese and buttered on all sides
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
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.
And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX
Let’s keep guiding them to better UX
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.
That’s bad UX, see the link in my previous comment
It doesn’t preselect, if I choose General and English I’m faced with a list of 18 servers to pick from.
Users will drop off like crazy here due to choice overload - https://lawsofux.com/choice-overload

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
Not necessarily, but we don’t want a accidental filter that filters out non tech savvy people. We want all kinds of people on Lemmy
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.
