▲ 541 ▼ With Reddit flirting with requiring Age verification, the next Rexit might be around the corner, are we ready? (piefed.social) submitted 7 months ago by Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social to c/fediverse@lemmy.world 243 comments fedilink hide all child comments With previous Rexit's like the API debarcle etc. many users were left looking for an alternative, but with decision fatigue and bad UX etc. most did not find the Fediverse a viable option. What needs to still improve, how can we be ready this time?

Maybe it could just be some sort of "choose for me" and every instance gets equal new users, random. Of course with the option to "nope, I'll choose instance myself". Everything else is technical and a casual new user shouldn't be bothered very much by it. Some are very interested and dig in to the knowledge, some just want to scroll cat pictures and call it a day, and that is fine too. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Die4Ever@retrolemmy.com 2 points 7 months ago (1 child) that's kinda already how it works https://join.piefed.social/ suggests you just join the default instance https://join-lemmy.org/ gives a random default permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] freebee@sh.itjust.works 1 point 7 months ago Okay cool! permalink fedilink source parent
