Seeing sticky posts on r/RedditAlternatives like https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/1467a5s/
I don’t see how anything can be coordinated when so many options are presented in a confusing way.
Of course, they don’t have to choose Lemmy / kbin instances, but I’m worried that a lot of people will stay on Reddit given the inability to properly communicate alternatives.
(Bonus: most platforms listed here ( https://teddit.net/r/RedditAlternatives/comments/yttdlc/list_of_active_reddit_alternatives_v8/ ) are terrible and Lemmy is relegated to the “less active” section; furthermore only lemmy.ml is listed, instead of https://join-lemmy.org for example)
I came to Lemmy because I was reading so much about it, but to be honest I don’t understand the federation concept well yet or how it impacts usage. The UI and basic concept seems intuitive enough from registering a few minutes ago and joining a few communities and replying to messages, but I still need to learn more about how it works and hopefully someone (Christian maybe?) releases an app that does for Lemmy what Apollo did for Reddit.
there is already an app for iOS in a very early beta if you want! https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc
I’ll try it! Thanks!
