We can do that, which page do you feel needs it?

For example we moved some of the Lemmy introduction content to the detailed explanation page, and we can move more.

For some of the topic specific pages, I was thinking that anyone who was linked to the page might have already have gotten a brief TLDR from whoever linked to it

:)

Something fun on the point about dark / light modes, the screenshots on this page swap between dark and light versions when the site theme is toggled

The home page is here, and the Get Started button links to it

We cut down on a lot of text from the initial drafts, so we can bring some of it back if the start is too jarring

Yup it did, we mentioned it here but I maybe we should make it more prominent? That video was one of the better explanations that I have seen so far, and there were a few things that we thought would be good to highlight on top of what it mentioned

This is a good point. @Blaze@lemmy.dbzer0.com I saw that you recently shared some thoughts on that, would you have thoughts on what we should prioritize there?

I'm thinking of swapping the pangora.social line with a link to the new section, where we can

• mention the issue with centralization
• mention what to look for when picking an instance
• link to Pangora's tool and any other ones

There are a few other considerations. For example, linking to a few specific instances might be seen as Fedecan endorsing them / showing preference to them over others. It might be better to continue posting recommendations on Lemmy as @Blaze has been?

Thank you so much for sharing these! You caught a few important areas we missed in the guides.

Once we get some feedback, we might pin the guides to the instance for a few days. We can link to this in the post or ping you in the comments if that's ok?

Yes :)

Thanks for passing that along to us :)

This isn't really a federation problem, and more that there isn't a clear "winner" yet.

Even on centralized platforms, you end up with multiple communities for the same topic, until one of them grows enough to beat out the rest. Then eventually a scandal might cause it to fragment again. There are also separate communities that keep going independently because of ideological differences. See the various international news subreddits

The movies communities here were like that, but now there is a pretty clear "main community"

New Reddit gets a lot of complaints too (loading issues, freezing), but it's aimed at Reddit as a whole since newer users don't know that old Reddit is an option.

At the same time, if I only ever used new Reddit, I would also think that old Reddit looks wrong

It's also less likely to happen now. Back when that happened, users didn't have the ability to block instances and so it was up to the admins to do that for everyone.

It's now possible to block instances at the user level

Also, the ux is pretty much the same as Reddit.

The default one is a bit minimal, but we have many Alternative UIs are as modern looking as new Reddit.

They also work much better while being modern looking. There's a reason so many of us came over here when they got rid of third party apps, the new Reddit interface is... bad.

Did you have to wait before eating again?

That's usually on my mind after one of those, and I imagine it's been long enough now

They look so soft but, as much as I want to, I probably shouldn't try to grab one.

Lucky for them, they don't have that problem.

The indent on the fur up top lol 😄

Yea totally, not sure why I didn't do that sooner

Looks nice and clean, I like it

If it works, it works 😄

Odd, I guess pins still don't federate consistently?

Did it a few times, and it looks like it's pinned there now :)
