    Push Lemmy out there. Help Lemmy grow. Lemmy has a few issues that need addressed;

    1. The Name needs changed, you see who shows up when you search Lemmy. The easiest thing to do is switch it to “Lemme” (Sounds like “Let Me”, like just lemme post this) or Lemy.

    2. Lemmy needs an app that is just as easy as Reddit to sign up for. It needs to drop on the person’s computer desktop and sign them into a default federation that auto accepts everyone. The initial signup process is confusing to people, with the website listing different federation and having to apply and wait. Some auto accept, people need to be pointed to those.

      Good ideas for new names, however, I think this is seen very controversial in the community.

      Some sort of rotation system would be cool that distributes the users across multiple instances. That way no single instance gets too big.

        Personally, I would be irritated to be signed up for an instance I didn’t choose and may not be what I like, especially if the app hid the fact that I had a choice.

          Maybe instead of asking which instance, we could do some sort of categorization and ask in which topics someone is interested and the instance chosen based on that?

          I think many people quickly get lost on the term instance and what it means.

            You just need to segment the choice. First you choose between just sign me up or advanced choose you instance, then you switch to either the traditional setup or the hold your hand setup depending on that choice.

              And to which instance(s) would you redirect the user in easy mode?

        Oh yes, that is an amazing idea. That or a welcome “pad” style federation that boots you out of it after 30 days. That way people don’t “zerg” one federation.

        I agree with this. Have like 50 or 20 and have the mod screen be part of the experiment, and once they hit a certain threshold number of users they are removed to help encourage diversity

      If communities get big enough people will sign up because a particular instance is a community where they want to be and then they can discover federation on their own time.the problem is that we’re still small enough that there’s only barely enough to see in the first place and instances are thus far mostly interchangeable.

      Agree with these points so much. It feels like I have to learn how to sign up, then learn to use it, rather than just use it.
