I was wondering what the point of lemmy was, if we can’t get a certain number of people, we won’t be able to thrive as a community and I don’t see lots of people joining even though it is an open-source and decentralised forum unlike reddit.

There are many obvious things lemmy could do better, should I make a report about it? I think we are lagging behind and not doing things which are obvious. A better GUI for mobile website would be one of the top suggestions I have. thoughs?

    Design around human connectedness, community building, community collaboration, accessability (even for technically illiterate), detoxing.

    excuse my ignorance, but how is Lemmy not doing this already?

      Because you cant just copy paste a centralized platform and expect that the design reflects the humane.

        @libre_warrior @salarua You seem to both say that

        • Reddit is not humane because it is centralized
        • decentralizing a Reddit-like platform doesn’t make it humane

        To me this does not make any sense. Which features of Lemmy do you think make it not humane? Wouldn’t a clone of Lemmy stripped off of these features be a humane software?
