The higher a barrier to entry the less people you are going to get.

And that's ok. MOST redditors are lurkers who don't interact with the platform and/or bot accounts. Nothing good will come to this platform if these accounts move over.

Give the platform 2 minutes to figure out how it works and all is ok. This on its own is a great screening process.

Not that the platform is hard. It's just different.

people are going to go back to reddit.

Realistically, there is no reddit to go back to. After the company goes public, Reddit as we knew it, will cease to exist.

The shareholders will want to be make maximum profit. This means that ads are going to be everywhere. They are going to outsource hosting services to horrible companies, in order to cut down hosting costs like video hosting and image hosting. Features that existed in 3rd party apps are going to be paid features in the official app/webapp, etc.

Reddit is gone. It's lost. It will not be there as you knew it to go back to. It's now a case of where to next and for the time being, lemmy and feddiverse looks the best.

Guys, what are you on about.

It's very clear that Lemmy is dead on arrival.

Redditors told me so.

Don't you see it?

You are logging into lemmy ml instance which is at capacity so it's struggling. I created another account on another instance and now all is fine while previously I couldn't login either.

edit: as @[email protected] correctly mentioned, OP asked about the lemmy.click instance which is a mistake on my part. That still doesn't completely solve the issue as the Reddit exodus is putting a massive strain on all instances as more and more are getting removed from the suggestion list due to being at capacity. This along with the platform being not mature enough is going to cause issues. Best way to resolve these, is to place them in the github issues with descriptions.

Oh, ok, I didn't know that this was the intended usage of that particular instance. Good to know.

Do you have the full link of that federated community? If yes, copy the entire url of that community, go to your /communities page and enter the url there and search. It will NOT show any results but don't worry, what you just did is that you indexed that federated community for the entire instance.

Now delete the url from the search bar and search again by its name. You should be able to see it now and also subscribe to it.

The first one shouldn't be used as a directory. The second one, can be used.

The reason the first one can't, is because it is just the search directory of one instance. Each instance knows/shows a community only AFTER some user has indexed it manually by putting the full url of that federated community in the search bar and submitted it. Only after this, does lemmy.directory will be able to show it.

Good to have you and looking forward to seeing this ecosystem as a whole grow.

I am now trying to go into the advanced stuff in Nuxt 3 but it I bummed out by its support unfortunately.

Nuxt 3 is waaaay better in terms of Dev Experience than Nuxt 2 but even though it released in Nov 2022 it still lacks official modules like Auth and PWA.

Especially Auth is kind of unacceptable to not exist for a framework build in 2023.
