It's a little confusing so far but I haven't spent a ton of time with it yet so I put that on me. Do instances coordinate what communities they start? Let's say I'm looking for a "home assistant" community, will there only be one across all of Lemmy or will I find several?
From what I understand, it's like having multiple independent Reddit websites with their own subreddits. You can still access them all from your own site, but they don't seem to appear as one. This is one of several UX problems that need to be addressed by professionals.
it definitely needs some UX attention
If you know typescript, the devs have repeatedly stated that contributions are welcome!
I do, and looking forward to contribute. I'm not a UX designer though...
