I don’t know if we want users who can’t grasp the concept that Lemmy and Lemmy.world are different entities and thinks that all of Lemmy should just be Lemmy.com
I think just having a Lemmy branded app with a proper UX is a good thing but let’s not just throw the baby out with the bathwater chasing people who just want Lemmy to be Reddit but it doesn’t make them feel yucky using it.
I’m willing to discuss UI/UX issues but that top comment is just stupid.
The first complaint is that “lemmy.world” shouldn’t exist, because websites should be dot com. That’s not a UI/UX issue, that’s just ignorance. As we all know Bluesky has also failed to pickup any users due to its URL bsky.app, you obviously can’t have a dot app website!
The second argument is worth looking at, but it’s unclear based on their comment what went wrong. If you go to Reddit and search for Brazil/Brasil do you just magically find every community you’re looking for? I doubt it. Discovery can and should be improved but this person found an instance before a community?
And as usual, the top comment related to Lemmy is people complaining about bad UX
Let’s keep guiding them to better UX
Someone replied to their post, with arguments and explanations I personally think are pretty well though out.

Do we have any fun infographics to help educate those that aren’t autodidacts?

Part of me just thinks this place needs a natural barrier to entry. Look what happened to the internet when the iPhone released.
Really shows the average intelligence of the average internet user.
As I get smarter, they just stay the same!
I really forgot how stupid some reddit comments are. I do not miss that site.
What if I told you that there are really stupid comments on Lemmy as well
There are stupid comments everywhere but the reddit user is a unique type of user that is infamous all across the internet.
I don’t have any issues with the lemmy interface.
I’d rather they don’t mess it up to appease people who prefer reddit’s interface, old or new.
Fuck that. A slight barrier to entry keeps the Facebook crowd out.
