What’s got your goat? Also, does anyone remember who this is?

I’m very interested to see what happens when the apps close down. If that shift to Lemmy that people here sense will happen will actually occur.
I know many people that are just going to stop using Reddit after their app shuts down, but I don’t know if they will replace that with a threadiverse alternative.
Always felt that since it was never officially endorsed by the r/Gunners mod on the sub, a lot of people simply aren't aware of this place.
The ones that are, might be put off by the onboarding process - which isn't exactly straightforward nor user friendly... For reddit, it's sign up -> search for community -> start participating. Whereas here on Lemmy its like: choose an instance -> sign up (wait for approval, if needed) -> log in (some might encounter the dreaded spinning circle) -> search for community (might not show up if the other instance is unfederated) -> participate.
The ones that have made it still complain about how this site feels outdated, too barebones, "like a website from 2008", etc.
Guess in the meantime while we wait for updates to the platform we'll just do what we do best; shitpost, give our uninformed hot takes and in your case create high-quality poorly drawn art!
Yeah my hope is that the onboarding process here is simpler than the onboarding was from Twitter to mastodon.
On mastodon it was hard to find community or people that shared the same interests. It’s inherently built into it here because you are following topics and not people.
I hope that makes adoption here better than it was on mastodon and I think also once there are apps are released that look better than the site does that should also help.
I just found out yesterday about this wefwef for Lemmy app, if anyone here’s an Apollo user you’ll feel right at home.
Have a look: https://wefwef.app/posts/lemmy.world/all
Yeah, I’ve liked that one. I personally really like Memmy. There’s been almost nightly updates to it as well. I’m convinced the developer doesn’t sleep.
