I used Joey for Reddit, it has better UI than Reddit. Yes, I have problem with UI on Lemmy, terminology is confusing. It will work out, somehow

I also used Joey, and this is the first time during this whole debacle that I've seen someone else mention Joey in the wild. I was starting to think I was the only one not using Apollo or Sync or RiF.
is Lemmy buggy as heck? Absolutely.
dunno, but this is the main reason I juggle between Lemmy and Kbin. Lemmy is more intuitive/similar to reddit, but it's buggy and has an ugly UI. Kbin has a better UI and less buggy, but has some questionable design
when you are used to reddit its not easy to make yourself feel at home in fediverse. The Lemmy themes dont look to good on widescreens.
I can recommend kbin with rounded corners + Stylus add-on with "kbin-it theme" activated.
I think some of the problem too is not realizing that... it's kind of broken in a lot of ways and a lot of the times it's not super apparent why.
There's a lot of things that work in one instance and just don't in another, and I think the user frequently thinks it's because they're doing something wrong when in reality, whatever you're trying to do just isn't working right now.
Any website that doesn't have a simple sign up in two steps (username/email, password) and everything clearly explained to them like a 5 year old will receive tons of complaints about being confusing. It's just the internet
There's a bit of learning curve for sure, but people shouldn't overthink the federation aspect too much. At least here on Kbin there is plenty of content already.
I can't either, but I'm also on the border of don't care and actively glad. Maybe there won't be such an Eternal September here. That would be a win.
People forget how hard reddit was to figure out. You had to lurk for so long just to post a comment.
The people who are still in the Reddit Alternatives subreddit still haven't moved over yet. You're looking at a subset of people who haven't made the move, not everyone.
