There is an increasing difficulty to even find out that join-lemmy.org exists.
To be fair join-lemmy.org also is a rather awful bit of user onboarding. It’s very much a programmer design. Which is something all of Lemmy suffers from.
There’s fine line between a good design, and over simplification. But Lemmy is pretty firmly a mile away playing in the “it works” pool.
No one deserves to be called stupid just because they struggle with an objectively poor onboarding process and gate keeping.
I am perfectly able to navigate Lemmy’s interface and I still think it’s a pile of Garbage. It suffers from the same problem most projects suffer from. Designed by a programmer not a UX designer.
Also I would rather enjoy if Lemmy didn’t just become an echo chamber of extremism in the opposite direction of reddit. Cause at this rate Lemmy is already becoming a cess pit of echo chambers and extreme levels of gate keeping.
For that you need a board spectrum of people. Including those you seem “stupid”.
So fuck off with your gate keeping. Be helpful and set a good example.
Has not changed one bit. If anything the onboarding experience has gotten worse.
Lemmy isnt new user hostile so to speak but it sure doesn’t try not to be.
And God, the number of times iv had to explain that frediverse doesn’t have anything to do with the feds is insane.
Lemmy has some of the worse terminology.
