Crowdsourcing ... for my talk about UX in the Fediverse and the social web, what do **you** think the biggest challenges are for user experience today?

@j12t meaning challenges for people who have already joined, not for people considering or trying to join?

Threading has a lot of problems. Some threads have lots of replies to posts I don’t see. Only some of it is due to followers-only posts. The posts I do see in a thread are in a confusing order, something like by depth rather than sequence. (Maybe that’s client-specific?) Posts from I think it’s Lemmy show up with only a link to themselves and not the intended content

@j12t well, search has improved enough that I can try to find my old threads about what’s missing for choosing an instance and it seems like I might have a chance at finding them… but I didn’t actually find them. Anyway, for new users, I think the lack of an obvious basis for how to choose an instance or even how to decide whether choosing an instance warrants much effort is still a problem. Might be interesting to know often someone abandons an account for instance-specific reasons
