Wait is Meta’s threads part of the Fediverse?

Right? That was my first experience too, the interactions and community on here feels great

Yea there’s lots of improvements that can be made, you can also try out other mobile apps like Sync and see if you like them more. When I was new I installed 4 of them and I actually use both Sync and Voyager now, sometimes switch between them just because.

Note there is a 500kb upload limit for images on lemm.ee, it could be that.

Alternatively you could just drop the image you’re trying to use in https://imgur.com/ and use that.

I did contact the mod team, but they have issues eg. making false claims like this

They also have beef with r/Buy_European on reddit https://old.reddit.com/r/Buy_European/comments/1j6jeg3/the_other_buyeuropean_sub_is_apparently_now/

Checkout https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/fedibridge it’s commited to helping guide people to Lemmy.

I like to use something like

Try out the European-Hosted Reddit alternative called Lemmy, https://phtn.app/

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

To guide people.

it’s basically already hosted since https://phtn.app/ defaults to lemm.ee

but clean url’s matter so I think having p.lemm.ee would make a difference I feel

Also it handles sharing links a lot better

Exbibit A:

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

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

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 🤷‍♂️

Yea unfortunately a clean easy url matters

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

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

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

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

Some people will never be happy…

I think people who like .old tend to be more tech savvy, and can figure out how to find a UI they like

Sadly what he says is true to many.

I’ve seen people who were directed to p.lemmy.world call it a dodgy virus link.

And honestly it does look dodgy, lemmy.com would be great.

And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX

Let’s keep guiding them to better UX
