  • Are you sure you’re in the right thread? We’re talking about the mobile app, not the Lemmy application.

    First point: People have already signed up for Lemmy through the website. The mobile app is just logging in to access Lemmy. Everything you’re talking about doesn’t really make sense here.

    Second point: It’s honestly a bit difficult to follow. I think it sounds good in your mind, but it’s not really making sense to me with how you phrase it.

    The question is who is going to prioritize it now over the other serious issues that are currently being caused by the rapid influx of successful signups in spite of the onboarding jank.

    I just don’t understand what this has to do with the mobile app. But, yeah, having seen a number of people say that they had issues logging in, I think we can put your argument to rest. The onboarding needs improving! :D


  • I don’t mean to be dismissive, there are some good ideas in this post… but if spending 1.5 minutes looking for the login button is a major issue for you, you’re about to have a bad time.

    If I, of all people, am spending 1.5 minutes… then A LOT of people are going to be having a bad time. I have previously developed UIs. Onboarding is one of the most critical stages of engagement and adoption of applications.

    The rest of your comments, to be frank, don’t make sense. Might even be dangerous, which really makes me question what you’re advocating for. Are you genuinely arguing for a poor onboarding experience just because people need to put in more work to understand something? Genuinely STOP, haha. It’s terrible to suggest such a thing.

    Put yourself in the shoes of a non-expert user. You are definitely NOT representing the 90% average users, and that type of attitude will hurt the fediverse and open communication tools.

    We want more people to join this community. We don’t want to guardrail it or make it difficult, which is the type of thing you are advocating for… for reasons that don’t make sense. Let’s get away from elitism and invite more people into this wonderful community, not whatever you just suggested!
