some feedback about Lemmy/PieFed from Reddit users
I’ve tried both [Lemmy and PieFed], and the UX is incredibly unintuitive and unpleasant. The main problem is that it’s quite hard to discover content you want while avoiding content you don’t, Bluesky at least has really good custom feeds that are easy to add (the default feed sucks). Another big issue is the general site layout, it’s hard to figure out how to do things as simple as saving a post for later or how to go back to the feed without being redirected back to the post I’m trying to exit.
Maybe they didn’t see the “Feeds” feature in PieFed? The top navigation menus in PieFed are a bit messy. Although shareable blocklists could be cool too, or maybe toxic?
That’s excluding the horrible lack of contrast most frontends use, which makes reading and parsing the site elements unnecessarily difficult (no Lemmy, grey text on a grey background is not good for readability).
I like the Lemmy colors, but maybe it should be easier to change, because they might like the darkly-pureblack theme.
Fediverse feels slower, but not in a good way. More of a ‘if I don’t use this for a week, I’ll see new things’. If I log in after 2 or 3 days, I’ll scroll for 10 minutes and see the stuff I saw last time.
Maybe this is a UX issue of not finding the right feed they would like.
I also want nsfw stuff now and then. I hate how censored the internet has become, at least with reddit if I want to see a bit of porn, I can.
Again maybe a UX issue of not presenting what communities they could subscribe to.
I tried twice to join those forums within the Fediverse and I can’t get past the captcha test. The fact that you need approval to validate your access doesn’t seem designed to encourage you to recommend it.
The captchas on Lemmy are AWFUL, I can’t do them either.

(that’s the “Medium” difficulty)
Lemmy v1.0 is adding the ability to do invites, so maybe there will be an invite-only instance that gets some momentum, that could be cool. Invite sites seems like a cool old-internet type of culture.
The fediverse stuff is way too complicated for me, Reddit is very easily accessible and actually has active communities for the topics I’m interested in.
Of course these are naturally going to be all negative because they’re users that bounced off the Threadiverse, but there’s probably hints to what can be improved
You know how the identity to addition is 0, like 2 0 + is 2. Then, on top of that, you have the identity of multiplication that is 1, 2 1 * is 2.
Okay, so, add 0, mul 1, now. Is there an identity somewhere that is 2? Serious question, I've been scratching my head on this for a good 15 minutes and I'm drawing a blank. It's not pow, and it's not square.. It might be a stupid question, if it is, please do tell me it's stupid.
@neauoire maybe e^i2PI, a full rotation in imaginary space? The sequence could be the hierarchy of operators +, *, ^ relating to 0, 1, 2? Just an idea…

@erdstern @futurebird I'm sure of 7x7 and 8x8, so it's 7 more resp. 8 less than that 🙃
(edited: now it's correct)
yes but no

it’s such a good example of how not only #autistic brains are wired differently compared to the „average“ population, but also each in very individual ways. As the saying goes: „if you’ve met one autistic, you’ve met one autistic“ 😊😎🥳

À chaque fois !
On admire aussi le triple saut périlleux arrière qui permet de transformer la présence de toxiques en « circonstances atténuantes » permettant de déqualifier l’acte terroriste pour un problème mental.
Un terroriste racisé sous coke serait « fanatisé ».
