Easy Onboarding for new Lemmy users
Easy Onboarding for new Lemmy users
I found a super simple way to refer people to Lemmy.
One simple message:
Try out the Reddit alternative called Lemmy https://phtn.app/
It also has a mobile app: https://vger.app/settings/install
This way a user can just click, start seeing content and what Lemmy is about, and if they want to comment etc. they will be asked to create an account with lemm.ee selected as a default.
This should fix most of the onboarding UX issues, and eliminate the decision fatigue of trying to figure out which instance is best.
You're viewing a single thread.
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 think their should be a list of prechecked instances that are randomly selected
No. That will create more confusion. Keep it simple.
I mean it will say βjoin [randomly selected preapproved instance here]β its no harder but it helps keep the fediverse decentralised.
I read it wrong. If it's pre-selected should be good.
Basically what https://join-lemmy.org/ does by default
It doesn't preselect, if I choose General and English I'm faced with a list of 18 servers to pick from.
Users will drop off like crazy here due to choice overload - https://lawsofux.com/choice-overload
Just select the first instance that shows up then.
That's bad UX, see the link in my previous comment
