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?
https://old.lemmy.world/ looks just like reddit. It’s not the UI. It’s network effect and there’s not a lot to be done.
People are still on Twitter while the owner makes Nazi salutes and Bluesky is a 1:1 replacement feature-wise with a modern interface. People just don’t like to move.
The vast majority of users don’t like the old.reddit view, else reddit would have that as default.
Are you suggesting that businesses only change things based on what their users want? Because that’s obviously nonsense. Enshitification finds a way regardless of what the consumer wants.
Two things can be true at the same time.
Yes reddit doesn’t care about their users.
But also the old reddit is worse for the vast majority of people
I have friends who still only use old.reddit and refuse to switch to new UI.
Would they be interested in Lemmy? Them using old.reddit shows that they would probably like it here
I already tried getting them on. Maybe https://old.lemmy.world/ can help.
How old are those friends of yours?
I mean… old (it’s in the name). Does it matter? What’s your point?
