They think every little thing is some overcomplex hurdle lol, whats the education level of ppl on reddit looking like these days, like you cant remember a website, seeing ppls instances next to their usernames is too confusing? They never used email before? It took me a milisecond to memorize 3dmvr@lemm.ee, and my lemmy.world, lemmy.dbzer0.com (hardest to rememeber dont reccomend) and sh.itjust.works, fedia, piefed, and kbin also I think

I really think it’s easiest for new signups to recognize instances with names in the form

lemmy.

So like, lemmy.world, lemmy.zip, lemmy.cafe, lemmy.today, etc etc. lemmy.world is great but it’s already so large, we should distribute some of that load. And some of the other ones are so small I’m not sure if they will survive, then the new signup will be even more upset when their instance disappears, or isn’t properly maintained. Plus some people might have a country preference.

Exact reason I chose lemm.ee, it’s the easiest one to remember.

sh.itjust.works is pretty catchy though

I joined what I thought was a plain simple Star Trek Website how did I end up here please someone help

I'm surprised that the username "Kirk" wasn't already taken on that instance!

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 2 points 10 months ago

I was as surprised as you!

I literally tried sh.itjust.works first! But I kept forgetting where the periods were supposed to go. I guess I’m a dumb redditor after all.

I've been using it as my home instance for almost a year and I still forget sometimes. They could certainly have picked an easier name, I agree.

For me personally, I think it might be for the best that a portion of them can't be bothered. I've watched the quality of Reddit posts and comments erode over the past decade or so. I think one reason is from the user base trending younger. Lemmy feels a bit more like what Reddit was back in the day.

Be careful, someone will be along shortly to tell you how horrible of a person you are for saying you don't think everyone on Reddit should move over.

(I agree, and would say that if we capture the good 5% of the Reddit user base and not the people who clearly have cognitive issues, we're going to have the best thing since uh, Reddit.)

I do remember only going to one site for everything, easy to get stuck that way, took reddit banning me for me to remember forums exist, they aren't completely dead, especially for specific software, a lot of interesting shit out there and the ppl actually know what they're talking about, all the ppl who dont stick to reddit as their singular site

I know right? I was reading like wtf are these responses, some of these are really weird to nitpick about. Couldn’t think of anything nice to say, so I just voted and left it to the nice folks trying to be helpful.

They think every little thing is some overcomplex hurdle lol

okay man sure that's 100% the case.

I was quoting a comment from that thread saying "overcomplex hurdle" I think idr
