Yeah and it’s also too much effort for communities to band together around it every year. Someging that requires this much effort from communities should remain once every 5 years, otherwise they’ll stop participating.

Not that it even matters at this point :(

Love the app. Especially love the catch up feature. My only major problem with it is in a thread with lots of comments, tht don’t all load at once, and if you try to collapse a comment and scroll down, it goes crazy while it loads all the replies to the comment you collapsed, meaning I have to wait for all the comments to load before I can read anything.

Yeah I have

I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.

That was not the case with lemmy. Most of the instances I tried required manual approval for signups. It took me going through like 4 different instances to find one that didn’t.

To be fair, most people reccomend lemmy.world now, and that doesn’t need manual approval. But there’s another problem, they can’t interact with Beehaw.

“Simply” picking an instance is not actually that simple. Most people just want to go to the site and sign up. Even with email, they know what Gmail and Outlook are. But on Lemmy, there’s no indication of what you’re supposed to pick. Even if you try to go with what seems like the “default” instance, lemmy.ml, you’re met with an announcement saying not to do thaf cause it’s overloaded.

People don’t want to have to make decisions, especially when they don’t have any information to go off of.

No, not in my experience. Some games do exist that do that, but that’s the choice of the developer.

They have dogs, so that’s not really an option

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market. (restoreprivacy.com)

“When you use Signal, your data is stored in encrypted form on your devices. The only information that is stored on the Signal servers for each account is the phone number you registered with, the date and time you joined the service, and the date you last logged on.”...

Most of the world likely doesn’t use SMS anymore

That has not been the case from what I’ve seen (I’m Australian). The only widespread methods of communication I see are SMS and iMessage. Things like Discord and Instagram are only used among younger people.

Edit: Actually people do use Facebook messenger. Don’t know how many though

Right, but even non-reddit users would be confused by it. When everyone advertises lemmy as seamlessly integrating with all the different instances, it doesn’t matter what instance your account is on, this definitely is not that.
