More people more drama. I rarely see rudeness in my experience

I am a simple man, i just use the good old hashtags

I don’t want to be put in the shoes of a greedy corporate exec but i can put myself in the shoes of a non developer wanting to create an app for his own need, so i understand why some people may need AI for that. I’m ok with that but that is not coding

If you don’t write a single line then you aren’t coding

Why do you think teens are generally stupid?

From a marketing point it’s good. Of course popular do not equal good from a quality perspective

Your comparidon doesn’t look negative to me considering how popular disney is

Fediverse make sense it is a combination of federation and universe. Pixelfed too, you get fed pixels aka images. Lemmy and mastodon may not have obvious connection to what they does but they are still catchier named than facebook, instagram and twitter.

Instagram make sense but it’s not catchy and use the name of a very old tech. I wonder how many young people still know about telegraphy machines. You are right m abiut mastodon but i think it’s still catchy and easy to remember

You think names like instagram or bard are any better?

Running

Almost all social apps are about algorithmic feed suggesting content from people you don’t know. Facebook is one of the few app that are still about personal connection. I can’t remember a single person i interacted with usernames on apps like lemmy

Yes, it make sens

I guess that mean it shows in the feed but not in the profile. I wish it that possible to create collection of other people pictures

Sorry, i forgot to mention that i’m talking about pixelfed

I don’t see a reason to believe that the majority of users on Lemmy are Reddit refugees, because every time Reddit makes a bad decision, we see a boost in new users.

Technology is one of the most duplicated community name, yet Lemmy.world technology community is one of the most popular, so I don’t see community duplication as the biggest issue. The biggest problem with Lemmy and other fediverse app , was always that most people don’t understand the appeal of decentralization, because most of them never experienced censorship, so it doesn’t directly affect them. I think decentralized app creators should stop using decentralization as the main selling point, and focus instead about the fediverse being open source and about the diversity of clients you can use to navigate them. While also simplifying things like adding an pick a server for me, ability to merge communities with similar or same names, simplifying migration to other servers with the ability to migrate everything including posts.

Personally I rarely read usernames on lemmy and reddit

But that’s my point it wasn’t created organically one community at a time but a flood of clones with the same names at subreddits vs having there own identity

I would argue that people like familiarity like linux distros that looks familiar to windows has grown in popularity. Therefore using similar names to the one on reddit makes complete since to me and I don’t see it would affect the growth. As for have different content, since lemmy is less mainstream you will see less popular topics. Many communities has a good balance between mainstream topic and less popular content yet fail to make people participating

When you are almost the only one posting for more thsn 6 months, it make sens that s lot of community owners stop posting
