Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

    I wish just like NSFW filter, posts can be marked as Political, and users have the option to block all of that.

          Sadly there are some aspects that don’t work well - like searching and notifications sometimes sends you to things that don’t exist. This is MORE than made up for (imho at least, though I respect that it won’t be everyone’s) in having so many features that Lemmy still lacks.

          The onboarding process is one fantastic one, and you’ve barely begun to learn all that you can now do that you could not before. Categories of Communities, hashtags, notifications for every. single. thing. (whole entire communities? best used only for your favorites or low frequency ones - though a new custom Topics feature will make that process obsolete, whenever it comes out, I don’t know the prioritization. Comment in !piefed_2025@piefed.social or !piefed_meta@piefed.social if you want to add new feature requests:-)

          I would keep your old account around though, for the handful of things that PieFed isn’t fully ready to deliver yet.

            Absolutely. Case in point: I got a notification now when you tagged me, while a month or possibly even a week ago I would not have. There’s new features weekly here!:-D
