I started to think it's because of the result from years of a lot of people being trained and marinated by big tech in siloed opaque social media and website sign ups, where everything is it's own thing with almost no interconnectedness and communication between each other. So it seems hard when they (me too admittedly) see all this instance thing and federated that.
Also IMO fediverse has a too nerdy and being infodumped on image to me. That image, at least on the threadiverse side, seems to be toned down and normie-d with recent "campaigns" on reddit though.
the alternative is not perfect either so why not just stay
It does work for a lot of people. Seeing they need to change and adapt if they do change, and it seemingly seems to be as bad as what they're using now, why change and face headaches and hassle.
Boost, and Sync I know can be made to work still for reddit with revanced patches. There are other reddit apps as well but I forgot which other ones is revanced supported.
in my two weeks of using lemmy/mbin seriously, I've had plenty of times federation isn't perfect. mostly from what I understand it's either because of defederation or someone never subscribed yet from my home instance. I did still have to open not my instance's post.
that's one of the plus points of using the fediverse I've heard? and I just did a quick google and at least mastodon software has that function.
Now that I'm here now, at least lemmy/mbin seem like it can't yet. kind of. lemmy does allow to export and import some settings to move around instances.
I'll probably join in later to give my 2 cents as a new threadiverse user.
but I have to say I agree with the decentralized nature is a UX headache. simply because if someone isn't linking in the right format, I'll be kicked out of my instance and suddenly I can't comment anymore.
it's better in mobile apps. and there's probably browser extensions to help. but still.
I'm interested in your efforts to make onboarding new users as smooth as possible. I'm the only one in my discord group that is actively looking into the fediverse. As a non technical person, a lot on the backend side I can never understand fully. So any efforts by instances admins to make onboarding simple I appreciate it so much.
I've been looking to abandon my lemmyworld alt to move to a new instance on lemmy. lemm.ee was shortlisted, and also an instance that's in my country (pardon if I don't want to reveal it). both are considered because they don't defederate a lot. So I found the way lemmy.zip (Zippy as you call it?) having default blocks a novel way.
Actually the lemmyworld account is my first threadiverse account back when reddit APPocalypse happened. never stuck because honestly speaking the onboarding is obtuse and opaque. So in February this year I'm giving this another go and it seems to stick a lot better. I understand a lot more, and now I'm trying to find ways to get my discord group over.
I think lemmy.zip might be it. Easier to explain with the default block on. And they won't be siloed out of communities that happened to have turf wars. I think I'll make an account here to see the onboarding.
And for another, at any time users can view Categories of Communities, such as all things Fediverse, News & Politics, or Gaming, and now users can even create our own customized Feeds
I like the sound of this. Pardon the comparison, but it's like multisubreddit. That's one of the big things from reddit I miss. Making my own categorised feed.

It always seem like that. I used to think like that too, 15 years ago
Eh, scratch that, I still think like that.

You guys really do need to not be too nerdy lol.

Can only speak for myself, but anything the instance admin deems related. Or voted / suggested by their members.
sure, I'll try to keep an eye out for problems.
in a sense I get then though. it's like they're getting preached on. nobody lines that, right?
I myself gave threadiverse another chance on my own volition and learned on my own.
so it might take some time for others to try it give a second chance
hmm, is it possible that maybe both of those mbin instances blocks imgur? I have accounts on both but I'm using fedia as my main
if this keeps up I might just abandon mbin and go with Lemmy while waiting for piefed lol...
annoying that they get preachy about it
how to do that?
Oh sweet. didn't notice the cape is fabric and also poseable
looks great and pretty flexible.
Instances admins would start to advocate to defederate from them just like with Meta's Threads IMO.

thanks for bringing this to my attention. personally I haven't seen it yet.
