This is fantastic and will definitely get some more people to join. My only nitpicks would be to make the “next page” links at the bottom a bit more obvious, and to fit the mobile apk links directly onto the page (or at least a handful of the most popular ones) instead of it being a separate link to go over them.

Absolutely Thunder for android. Easy, customizable, and is very similar to the app I used for reddit called Relay. Dunno how an apk could be better for using Lemmy.

Good tech is easy an intuitive. Computers got popular after you could use a mouse and got a gui. Ipods dominated over the competition because of how dumb easy it was to use. Reddit was easy to move to from Digg because it was pretty much a clone in how it worked. Zero learning curve.

Popular tech is almost always easy.

Your mother would ask you what the hell an “instance” was and then think that picking one meant she couldn’t look at posts from any others.

Tell them to download the thunder app (it’s very similar to many of the popular reddit apps) and just give them a list of the 10 most popular fediverse’s to pick from to make an account.

I mentioned this like a year ago. Users will need their hands held to get them to easily come over.

Our content is definitely on the low end for niche topics. Subs either don’t exist, or there might be like 4 members.

Loops really seems like it sucks. You can’t see how long any video is, there’s no way to thumb down really bad videos, and about 80% of all the videos seem like “really bad videos”. I never even used tik tok, but im sure it wasn’t content similar or it never would have gotten popular.

I was their in reddit beginning. There were no initial shenanigans. It was a good place and existed at just the right time, when people wanted to leave Digg because it was turning into a dumpster fire, similar to what reddit has done.

When reddit started turning to shit there just wasn’t anything for the masses to migrate to that was available other than here. Problem is that here isn’t as simple to get into. In lemmy, the learning curve is slightly higher than “bare minimum”.
