    This will keep happening until Lemmy etc. Have good UX

    For the vast majority of users the UX just sucks for most of the fediverse

    We need to push for or fund better UX

        Yes it does depend on the front end.

        But that’s the thing its not the default front end.

        Most users will give up before discovering Photon.

        The default experience should be very smooth and require little to no effort and thinking. Like what everyone has gotten used to

      I can’t tell you how to on-boarding process is these days but the UX of using Lemmy via Voyager is even better than using Reddit. In fact Reddit killing Apollo (the app Voyager is based off of) is the whole reason I’m here

        I had a look at voyager, and it’s UX is perfect for new users. It would be great to get the web to that point https://photon.lemmy.world seems quite good, maybe that should be default.

          Really anything is better than the default UI. The default Lemmy-ui is functional but not elegant.

      Misskey is fine on computer browsers (minus the absurd javascript resource hog, the page’s first load is slow as fuck), but I don’t think it has any decent FOSS app, mastodon apps don’t necessarily connect to misskey
