I still see Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/BuyFromEU.

You can comment but I think it's just "Hidden" idk

collapsed inline media

Aaaand it's gone, and I've been banned from the sub.

got 80,000 views and 1300 upvotes before is disappeared though, so I see that as a win, I'm sure a few people signed up.

To be fair, I was spamming should have read the rules better, a warning would have been nice.

Fair but when you're using mobile apps like Voyager or Sync you just get a error and don't understand why

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 13 points 13 hours ago

It will come with time, if possible be the change you want to see. I'm trying to grow the South African sub.

It might take years but 🤷‍♂️

Need to be low key about it, promote Lemmy here and there. Could be a fun side project for people to help with.

Yea unfortunately a clean easy url matters

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 5 points 15 hours ago (3 children)

That's why I couldn't upload images, the UI on mobile never gave me an error explaining this, it would be good to better make users aware of this.

a big driving force is r/BuyFromEU with 150k active subs and r/BuyCanadian with 300k

They're trying to move away from US products, including tech.

Also the Luigi censorship as mentioned.

Now is a good time to comment something like this on those subs to help guide people.


Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative, Lemmy
It also has a Mobile-App

I use it alongside Reddit, and I'm enjoying it more and more, slowly switching over

One of the reasons I use this snippet below to promote Lemmy is that it defaults to lemm.ee and users don't run into descision fatigue when picking an instance

It would be nice if it could also default to eg. sh.itjust.works and other generalist instances

What's the community called if we may ask?

Let us help you move it over to Lemmy, and take over mod responsibilities

[–] AnonomousWolf@lemm.ee 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I get you're angry, but I don't think this is the best way to get people to try out Lemmy

If they put a lot of focused on having a good UX and some marketing I could see it outgrow Lemmy the same way Bluesky outgrew Mastodon

 

piefed.social is a very popular instance, and I feel it's really beginner friendly, why isn't it an option on Voyager?

 

I found a super simple way to refer people to Lemmy.

One simple message:

Try out the Reddit alternative called Lemmy https://phtn.app/

It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install

This way a user can just click, start seeing content and what Lemmy is about, and if they want to comment etc. they will be asked to create an account with lemm.ee selected as a default.

This should fix most of the onboarding UX issues, and eliminate the decision fatigue of trying to figure out which instance is best.

This reddit post likely has tens if not hundreds of thousands of views, look at the top comment.

Lemmy is losing so many potential new users because the UX sucks for the vast majority of people.

What can we do?

Small things like 'Auto expand media' being set to true, can have a huge impact on user retention rate.

The vast majority of people never open or change default settings in the social media they use.

When they try out Lemmy etc., and the defaults aren’t great a lot of them will have a bad User Experience and leave.

I’m a IT professional, and joined Lemmy a few months ago, the UX sucked, most of that could have been fixed by having good defaults in place.

I powered through, but I won’t recommend Lemmy to many of my friends or family because I know they will give up due to too much friction in finding the right settings and how things work.

For the Fediverse to succeed focus needs to be put on giving people a very smooth UX from first opening a app or page, to finding enjoyment seeing and engaging with content.
