I’ve literally had a conversation like
“the fediverse is too complex”
“It’s actually pretty simple when you get the hang of it, it took me like 5 minutes to understand it”
“That’s 5 minutes too much, everything is simple once you get the hang of it, actually simple things are intuitive from the start”
As if when you’re born you already have the knowledge required to browse Facebook in your brain. You have to “get the hang” of everything you use, there’s just more complex and less complex stuff (and 5 minutes is very much on the lower end).
Honestly. I was setup and subscribed to some initial communities within 2 hours of RIF going down. Literally my only complaint at this point is the relative lack of content.
Id like a filter for top of all time, but that’s honestly my only “complaint” im shocked at how developed this is, and the web app wefwef is a little too good lol
There is a “Top - All Time” filter at least on the web. Works well for local, not sure about off local though. Mobile apps might not have all the filters though.
It seems to show the posts with the most updoots. Curiously the first page of Top - All Time are all from the last few weeks. Goes to show the explosive influx of Reddit Refugees into the Fediverse.
Connect for Lemmy has a setting where it will hide posts the user has voted on. I believe the website has this as well. Works great for keeping content fresh rather than seeing the same posts about the Reddit migration.
Be part of the solution, make it 😉.
I don’t mean to sound like I’m super smart or anything but I didn’t have any issue figuring out mastodon or lemmy.
I think the larger issue is people won’t take three minutes to read some basic instructions and background. They want to be spoon feed info and told what buttons to click.
To be fair, if it were spoon fed to people, it would be more popular. The best thing for federation is if it were much easier to get into for the average person.
Agreed but it needs to catch up to the current influx before we make it any easier :P
What is this from?
Umbrella Academy
Great show.
It’s a gonzo superhero show on Netflix. It’s weirdo fun based on a very, very silly comic book. I enjoy it, but if you don’t you’ll know pretty quickly. Check it out.
Federation made no sense to me either, but everyone just said to make an account somewhere and start using it. That’s what I did and, while I don’t pretend to understand the back end, the stuff I’m using makes perfect sense to me.
I’m so high I thought the top pic was of the Jonas Brothers 😭
