Reddit Migration

There's a bit of learning curve for sure, but people shouldn't overthink the federation aspect too much. At least here on Kbin there is plenty of content already.

Atm, Lemmy isn't nearly as fancily featured or polished on the surface that Reddit or other social medias are. A small subset of us enjoy the simpler and cleaner experience of baby internet things, despite all the accompanying bugs and technical gremlins. The average internet user, however, wants to have their content delivered with the prettiest packaging and a minimum of effort. Most people also don't usually want to put in the work to learn a new way to do things.

Any website that doesn't have a simple sign up in two steps (username/email, password) and everything clearly explained to them like a 5 year old will receive tons of complaints about being confusing. It's just the internet

I asked someone who wrote a huge reddit post about it, and they responded with "idk, I just looked at it and didn't get it."

I think people are just resistant to change, and only want a system that they think is 100% a clone. Honestly, IDK how you look at lemmy and don't think it looks like reddit, but I guess it is just that browse local is the default option. I guess browse all should be the the default for now, but I actually like browsing by local first to see what is going on in my local instance before looking at the rest of the fediverse.

when you are used to reddit its not easy to make yourself feel at home in fediverse. The Lemmy themes dont look to good on widescreens.
I can recommend kbin with rounded corners + Stylus add-on with "kbin-it theme" activated.

I used Joey for Reddit, it has better UI than Reddit. Yes, I have problem with UI on Lemmy, terminology is confusing. It will work out, somehow

The people who are still in the Reddit Alternatives subreddit still haven't moved over yet. You're looking at a subset of people who haven't made the move, not everyone.
