That's a really long AI post that I'm not reading.

Most of these concerns are being alleviated by all the work @nutomic@lemmy.ml is putting into join-lemmy.org , which is our centralized onboarding site.

If you have suggestions there, you can open up issues on https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site

    I'd highly recommend you actually read it. Once you look past the LLM-ish phrasing, it quickly becomes clear that the actual information contained is human-made with a great amount of valuable thought put into it.

    I've been here for a long-time (go and check if you'd like). There wasn't a single thing in that post that made me think the author hasn't understood the principles of the fediverse that make it so valuable or reasoned wrong about them – quite the opposite.

    This post idenifies many (if not most) of the major problems that I have had with Lemmy over the years. The onboarding improvements you've seemed to have at least glanced at are just the tip of the iceberg.
    I use Lemmy despite of these limitations but I am also a technical person with quite a bit of tolerance for such technological pain. The high-level improvements proposed here would meaningfully diminish these; allowing less technologically capable or tolerant people to benefit from Lemmy too.

    This is actual UX requirement engineering.

    If broader (and less technical) user adoption is a goal of the Lemmy project, I'd consider the vision outlined in this post to possibly be one of the most valuable non-technical contributions to Lemmy as a whole.
    Seriously.

    First of all, Lemmy is open source. If you or anyone else wants to improve things, please open issues with concrete suggestions, or better yet make a pull request.

    The linked post also has various factual errors, not sure if AI hallucinations or the author was using older versions.

    The first 30 second: Stop explaining federation up front

    I changed this on join-lemmy.org a few days ago. Maybe its not reflected in other language translations yet.

    Feeds: Lemmy needs content gravity, not just content

    Not really sure what these mean, would have to see concrete examples of these supposed problems.

    Search: “Technically present” isn't enough

    Search already shows communities first.

    Portability: Lemmy’s killer feature new to feel real

    Data migration between instances has been implemented for a long time.
