I guess the concept of fediverse is what will end up confusing people more than ever. There's a very good quick starter guide published on Lemmy that I found to be incredibly helpful. Including the clarification that content is accessible across servers but users cannot log in to other servers.
I also think it will be crucial how the app ecosystem for Lemmy shapes up. Most people will just be using an app to access their communities and won't care about the underlying fediverse structure.
Here's hoping for all the apps, which made Reddit what it is/was, to come to roost quickly for Lemmy!
That's a good point! Put a slick enough front end on a platform and the vast majority of new users won't care about the back end for sure.
You're absolutely right, the app ecosystem will be crucial to its success and keeping it around. Jerboa is fine, but it's fairly lackluster, and is the only Android client I've found. Not to discredit the dev/team for Jerboa at all, it's actually quite good, until you compare it to the various third-party Reddit clients I've been using for decades.
I'm hoping lots of growth for Lemmy and the fediverse and that with that, the app ecosystem scales well, too!
Here's hoping that the Lemmy API proxy can expedite a transition to allow these apps to stay useful after June 30th. It would be a beautiful sight to have diversity of clients here, and especially supporting the fediverse answer to Reddit instead of the centralized competition.
I would even be happy to see kbin growth because we on Lemmy don't lose out 😅
I’m pretty dumb and I haven’t been confused. I just got here, subbed to a bunch of stuff, and my subscribed list is full of clickable subs to go to.
It’s very ‘Reddity’ in that respect as far as I’m concerned. I’m not lost at all.
