Lemmy should have a real frontpage (lemm.ee)

I know that the purpose of Lemmy is to be split into instances and stuff to stay independent or whatever, but - imo - if it really wants to become a true alternative for Reddit it needs one place for users to land. Something like "LEMMY.COM" where you can see all instances + all communities, where you can log into your instance, maybe even log into more than one instance at once (let's be honest, who doesn't have a separate porn account these days lul)

The thing is, most of us used Reddit until now instead of Lemmy because Reddit did the overall browsing experience a lot better. Yeah it needed the help of third party apps for that, true, but I could just open reddit, look at r/all or my subscribed subreddits and be done with it. Being on Lemmy feels like "oh yeah, this is a great idea, but wow it is very inconvenient to look through this place"

(Btw, I LOVE the lemmy logo!)

Who is Lemmy though? Because it's like asking what does human kind want to be or what do the collective children of Indonesia want to be when they grow up. Lemmy isn't an entity, it's decentralized and it is many things and it's definitely not Reddit lol. So there's no asking what Lemmy wants to be because everyone wants something different and that's why I think lemmy is great because someone can set up their own instance and make it whatever they want.
