Would not recommend Sync, last update was March 2024 and there’s issues with reporting DMs, cross-posting and more. Just scroll through the community to get a general vibe of the userbase: !syncforlemmy@lemmy.world.

I personally use Thunder now, and I have used Eternity too. Both support account switching.

What do they actually want? They have a Discord server and everything.

I like this a lot. Using lemm.ee isn’t mandatory, as you can choose “pick another server” the moment you try to comment. For a moment I was wary that this would just send everyone to 1 instance.

I like this!

The userbase here is quite technical so there are many of you able to contribute.

As a project manager, I can help by ballooning the scope and setting the deadline to yesterday! Doing my part!

Good point. I don’t have all the answers to this predicament, but I think most of us agree that we need to improve on the onboarding experience.

I agree, but people (read: instance owners) might disagree who gets to be seen up top and who won’t make that cut.

It’s a tough dilemma in itself, I will say. In the end, I think we should move this part of the joining experience until after new users are familar with the software.

So new users land at “lemmy.noob” or something, and when they are ready to spread their wings, they can choose the things I showed above to go and find the right home for them.

join-lemmy.org already has this in a way:

Yes, and if you join a German-speaking instance as a non-German speaking user, the experience will also be subpar. Hence I talked about content, not language.

If that was a legitimate issue, MMO’s (which also often have servers the player needs to choose) wouldn’t have the userbase they do. Nor would Email have taken off.

But in an MMO, you still get the same content no matter what server you choose. Over here, it directly impacts what content you can interact with based on (de)federation.

Thank you, that makes more sense! I stand corrected.

This keeps coming back from time to time. imo we need an instance or method to sandbox newbies.

My old comment:

A custom feed that allows new members to see a variety of the best that Lemmy has to offer would be a good start. Then, when they are comfortable with the platform and its dynamics, they can customise it further, or swap the newbie feed for their own custom filter (which practically would come down to community subscriptions, I suppose?)

Now instead of making this comment very long, I’ll put in an video game anology to make it a bit more digestible:

What we need is a tutorial area that showcases all the different things that the Lemmy endgame has to offer. Creating memes, sharing news, the art of shitposting, being a lurker, actual discussions vs just scrolling to see the funnies: all these things are enjoyed by different types of people, and before they can reclass and enjoy the wild open world of Lemmy, it would be good for them to get comfortable with the controls and settings in a relative safe space.

That’s not a shadow drop, Nintendolife

The 3DS still sold 10 million units after the Switch launched, so it’s not impossible. One could argue the Switch is the successor to both 3DS and Wii U, but it’s hard to compare. If they price it right and try to clear stock, I think they can totally do it. Would also be something to brag about, but then again it’s not really Japanese business culture to brag, so maybe that’s not the biggest motivator for them.

A little over 3 million left to beat the NDS, and about 10 million to beat the PS2. Can they do it? It’s gonna be close

I think the only reason it sold that well was because it launched in March 2020, basically lockdown central

How is the newest OMD? I liked the old stuff but I’m wary of putting down ~$30 to play the same stuff I did ten years ago.

Maybe Elysium was a warning
