Day 2 here, and I can see the growth already. Personally I really like the notion of how its gonna shape up in the future but at the same time I really feel for the average user as of now its too complex to understand the working and how the cross servers thing is working. I mean yes still early days, UI will improve further leading to a better UX but the core mechanism yet is little tough to get along. For instance, still unclear if I made the right choice by signing up on lemmydotworld why not lemmydotml , beehaw etc… and where does this stop? like in the coming times i it would be like a thousands of servers lemmy.this lemmy.that lemmy.etc or anything.anything. That’s soo confusing for someone who just wanna join a server. Would be interesting to see how “signup anywhere, its the same thing” evolves.
It’d be nice if there were some way to link accounts across different instances
It’s a decent argument to host your own instance just for your self and not having to shuffle subscriptions around
I wish there was a turnkey solution for this
I haven’t looked into it but I’ve heard it’s pretty good docker, or otherwise. Self hosting is not quite at the masses yet but this sounds like one of the easier ones
Brilliant.
There was OpenID for this, but it sadly also died.
