    I hate when people ask me to pass them their glasses. They’re putting the responsibility of not smudging their glasses on me. Sure I can do it, but there is always that small possibility of failure.

    If the glasses are folded up there is that moment of trying to decide how to grab the glasses. Do I grab them by the bridge bit that sits on their nose, or by the bits that hook over the ears? Surely it’s too risky to grab by the frame around the glasses… if they exist.










  • Instances are great, but are also a problem for onboarding.

    Is there a single point of entry for people now? I can imagine there being a website people could go to that asks a few simple questions and sorts (or load balances) people to certain instances. This would of course need some way for people to transfer their accounts in the future should they not be happy with their instance. Additionally each instance would need to have some kind of API call for the single point of entry to create the accounts You could even have a simple survey to gauge people’s interests to help them in the community filtering process and present the mobile apps that are available.

    Just some thoughts of course on how it might be possible to improve the users first experience.

    Is the onboarding experience any better? I remember the initial process of joining Lemmy felt very shady and not user friendly. That can be a massive deterrent for people joining. Then on top of that having to filter out all the communities that are not to my taste.

    Overall it was a messy non-user friendly experience, but now that I’m here I’m happy.
