I think the struggle is that we still need to build more tools for the fediverse ecosystem. I’ve been building Lemmy frontends but it’s a big lift to make a world class experience for users, moderators, instance owners, etc.

Progress is being made, but I agree that Lemmy was not prepped for the wave of Reddit users.

That’s a good point. That would be helpful context

This is a fascinating read and very relevant given that Meta is moving closer to connecting Threads (per OP). The article gives a good example with How Google killed XMPP

Don’t dogs navigate with their noses? Cover up the scent and they’re left confused. This reminds me of when a dog sees their reflection and their eyes tell them there is another dog but they can’t pick up their scent. Adorable

Did not expect to see a bird on fire. That’s a new level of depression

Edit: okay I see now that is not a bird lol

This is too real. The balance of trying to not die while also trying to look like you’re listening as someone else is talking

Quiblr works essentially the same way. But I query the instance list so users cannot input a bad instance name

Also I feel like you are sometimes expected to give an immediate response but you haven’t had proper time to process the situation. So you just say “no worries”

I can chime in on your second question

Instance owners tend to focus on making a sound backend that scales effectively. Im guessing SEO is not high on the priorities for instance owners. It takes time and is a mix of an art and science and it isn’t really a 1 size fits all.

With that being said, I think the SEO will largely be on the front-end devs who build 3rd part apps that run on the various instances. IMO this makes more sense since front-ends can connect to all the various instances available so it’s higher up the funnel.

I made it a bit longer. Let me know if that works

I also just added a refresh button on the top bar of Quiblr for pwa users which should make things smoother :)

Quiblr is a progressive web app. Gifs play fine

Oddly what stood out to me is that bartenders seemed to wear white coats like a doctor or pharmacist. Curious if that was the standard or just at McSorleys Bar

Thanks! It’s my passion project that I’ve been working on in my free time. Give Quiblr a go and let me know what you think

Thanks! I tried to bring a modern interface to Lemmy. The current way messages are shown kinda drives me nuts lol Let me know if you have any feedback

I really should have read the headline. I thought this was a drawing of an antfarm

This community in particular or do you feel this toward all of Lemmy?
