    Nice screenshot by the way, which leaves out 90% of the actual comment. Link for comparison. I wont even get into the other deceptions, you really are true to your name.

    The rest of the comment isn't about you, so why would I include it?

    What a deceptive reply you've made trying to frame it as if I left out information that reflected differently on you.

          Ah yes because one sentence by someone you dislike is enough basis to judge a different person that you dislike. Why dont you do something useful with your live, instead of hating on people who actually create something useful?

              Instead of recommending Lemmy in general, you should recommend a specific instance which matches the audience. For example someone posted about piefed.ca in /r/BuyCanadian. Or you can link to a different frontend like vger.app.

              I did make a redesign to join-lemmy.org recently so that new users can reach the registration page with a single click. I am also curious about any suggestions you have to improve the onboarding.

              That person was me.

              I've promoted Lemmy in the past only to be met with comments complaining about the 'dogshit UX' and tankeis.

              So I switched to promoting PieFed instead, and have had no such complaints.

                I used Lemmy for months, mostly in the browser and my UX was absolutely horrible.

                The default browser UI sucks.

                How long ago? It was a bit flaky a couple of years ago but for me now it's perfect - like Reddit UI before it enshittified.

                I'm sorry but the default Lemmy UI is objectively bad, it breaks so many UX principles.

                Photon is good, but go to Lemmy.world and it looks like a website built in the early 90's

                  Fair point,

                  I omitted Facebook in my image because fuck that kind of social media (my opinion)

                  I picked PieFed over Lemmy because UX is everything and currently PieFed has much better UX.

                      To me.
                      It's the same thing but PieFed has better UX and more featues.

                      Which one you pick is for the most part irrelevant.

                          And so you decided to spread that misinformation further, instead of simply replying that it is wrong? I'm also very curious in what ways you consider Piefed's UI better than Lemmy.

                            In what ways does the Lemmy UI suck? I would appreciate feedback in order to improve it. For what its worth I only use the default UI on desktop and mobile, and like it a lot.

                            Any actions you need to take that could have been avoided = bad UX.

                            Any time you need to think and not immediately know what to do next = bad UX.

                            Sadly we're in a time where users expect their hand to be held the whole time and where they expect zero effort to be put in and everything to just work.

                            For me the biggest issue with default Lemmy is, why do I have to click on a image post to view the image, when it could just have defaulted to a bigger size?

                              Good UX is all about removing friction and making users have to click less and think less.

                              Users these days are expect their hands to be held and things to just work, that sadly is just the reality.

                              Let me start off with saying, I started on Lemmy and even donated to Lemmy, PieFed can only grow because it's standing on the shoulders of giants (lemmy)

                              My alt is AnonomousWolf, you can look it up, since I joined I complained about bat UX, but people told me to GTFO.
                              PieFed fixes many of those issues I complained about.

                              Let me do a quick test and walk you through my thought possesses and UX.
                              I'll make 2 comments in this post, one for lemmy.ml one for piefed.social

                                  Lol, why? I don't use Piefed and besides, I work on my own open source project.

                                  But seriously, why would I contribute to a project I don't use and have no association with?

                                    Review of the two experiences:

                                    With PieFed I can just keep scrolling without needing to click.
                                    Things just work and are where I expect them to be (based on pas UX experiences (reddit))
                                    I can see way more content without ever getting confused or needing to click or make decisions, making me stay curious and engaged.
                                    Where as with Lemmy I very quickly got frustrated and confused, making me want to abandon ship and do something else, and I'm way way way more resilient than the vast majority of users

                                      This comm is often full of comments pushing lemmy alternatives, with PieFed being the new frontrunner.

                                      You'd think the post here would include Lemmy, which I believe is still the most active platform

                                      But it's the same platform! They all interoperate!

                                        https://tilvids.com/ isn't horrible, but you have to go in with an open mind
