[–] Calfpupa@lemmy.ml 5 points 6 months ago (1 child) Okay then recommend Lemmy with PhotonUI? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social [S] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children) Too much friction, and that's really bad UX. And now you have to explain to people why the default UI sucks. I tried to promote https://p.lemmy.world/ to people, and they tell me to get lost with that dodgy virus link. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Xylight@lemdro.id 7 points 6 months ago* (1 child) Don't link p.lemmy.world. it's well over a year out of date. phtn.app probably looks a bit less suspicious, and also lets you use any Lemmy/Piefed instance. You could say it as "phtn.app is a web portal for the fediverse" or something like that because the concept of web apps is confusing to many permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Ek-Hou-Van-Braai@piefed.social [S] 1 point 6 months ago People are very sensitive and suspect of dodgy links. If you tell someone 'hey checkout lemmy, PS the default UI sucks so actually go to phtn.app' they simply don't click and think you're trying to scam them permalink fedilink source parent [–] myserverisdown@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago That's just fine. Don't worry yourself too much. I don't know about everyone else, but I only want the people open to making a switch here. If you're so put off by trying something new that you aren't willing to give it a chance, then I'm not going to be begging for you to join my community. permalink fedilink source parent
