I disagree. I think there are still enough major improvements to make before the platforms can become big enough that rather than splintering the development efforts it would be a much better idea to focus on core functionality like improving how activitypub is implemented.

The links crash Jerboa for me altogether, but it seems like navigating via the search is a bit better then it was at first (or maybe I'm just better at using it), such that it's only a couple extra clicks to find the community linked. Still not a great user experience though.

I use the peak design phone stand wallet. Not great for everything so I still have a backup one, but really convenient for day to day tasks

 

Like many others, I've been using Lemmy since the reddit blackout started. A few things I think would help onboard folks more easily or contribute to long term success of the platform(s) are:

  • an actual introduction to federated sites and what it means, including what happens if your home instances get blocked by ones you've subbed to (if this exists drop a link!)
  • a better scheme for allowlisting instances. I noticed the one I registered in got removed from beehaw, and as someone who considered starting my own it's not clear if that style of instance management is doomed to fail
  • more / better apps! I wonder how similar the api is to reddit and if existing apps could be ported over

Any major pain points or improvements y'all can think of to continue encouraging adoption?
