For me its having a single instance that indexes all the communites to which all other instances can then pull that information from so when I go searching for communities the I’ll have access to every single one with needing to post the entire URL in the search bar
Yeah. Joining communities from other instances is a hassle. Kinda puts me off sometimes.
Definitely a big problem. UX can make or break a service. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time though :)
Really? I don’t get that. I go to the ‘communities’ button at the top, where they are sorted by population, so it’s easy to find some good ones right away. If I want to search something specific I type it in the search bar and there it is. Is it not that way for you? That seems easy to me
That works easily when you want to join communities already on your instance. But if you want to search for other communities you need to go to https://browse.feddit.de/, search for them there, copy the url, then join. Also you cant sort that list by anything, you kinda need to know what you are looking for.
Its…a bit too complicated. I’m sure it will get better with time.
