I am also one of the jump-shippers from Reddit.
Is there a better action for the 12th of June for individual users that want to protest, apart from just not using Reddit?
I mean, is there a suggestion as to if we are better to:
I lost faith in Reddit so I don't even mind deleting my account but I want my actions to have the most effect regarding the blackout.
Hey neighbour(Greek here)!
The way federation works, is that although federation is enabled the actual communities are not automatically broadcasted to other instances. If you want your newly created community to be visible to other instances you have to manually add it there by following these steps:
/communities in that instanceEnter. There will be no results but don't worry, it worked.You should now be able to see the community there.
Unfortunately each community has to be manually indexes in every instance but I think lemmy.directory is trying to index everything so people can find stuff easier, in there.
I will have to disagree with you on both points.
Point 1: Not finding the settings.
Whenever you join an app, platform or start up a new video game, you need to go to the settings and set your preferences. This is something very logical at the beginning as you have no idea what to expect. Additionally the settings in lemmy/jerboa are very minimal. You can set them up in about a minute. Claiming this is not user friendly is not a valid argument to be honest since Jerboad doesn't have them hidden. It's users who ignore the settings.
Point 2: Some users can’t even figure out how to login using the app.
Lemmy, kbin and mastodon all implement the same protocol named ActivityPub but they all choose to make their front-end fundamentally different despite having access to the same content. This ecosystem doesn't do everything for you and it doesn't claim to. People, including myself, found out about this ecosystem from external resources and not from lemmy itself. It took me about 4 minutes to figure out what to do and where as I actively wanted to figure it out. If people can't bother for 3-4 minutes to figure things out(Even just clicking the Join button) then I don't see what improvement any platform can do to improve this. If anyone clicks on the Join button the go to registration and then to login. It's very different to reddit but very simple.
As I've been using mods for Tears of the Kingdom game there were 2 versions of the DS4 UI prompts mod.
The first one almost never worked and was slowly getting updated so another dude just remade a new one and made it better and for all layouts.
The dude that created the first mod then started sending cringe messages to the new modder about how they look awfully similar and why did he choose to do that.
Dude, you made a mod that changes the letter A icon to the letter O icon. What creative freedom do you think there is to make a unique mod?
Yes they do.
I have already contributed to the documentation of backend and it has been approved and merged.
This dude's channel is hilarious. Especially the Senior JS one.
The more people there are in the instance your account is with, the more issues Jerboa has.
#Reddit was already toxic
I got banned for replying to a racist comment in sarcasm, to make them see how racist the comment is.
I got banned for racism...
Fuck reddit really.
I expect good and insightful conversations to be moved here.
Reddit is about to become like twitter and facebook where it's ad-ridden, toxicity cesspool.
People will leave to keep having the actual forum experience and will eventually move here as it looks like a very good alternative.
I don't even think you can create communities in another instance. I can see the button to do it only for your current instance so yes, you would need to create an account over there and then create the community.
My account has nothing. Every month or so I purge my account anyway. It has no actual value for anyone.
