@davidrevoy it is pretty complex. And it might be the fault of my home server, but browsing people from other servers is hard because lots of their posts don't always show up. Then I have to go on the http interface, view more posts, and do the whole server-interchange thing when I want to interact.

@davidrevoy and also i dunno if it's that cool to feel superior about having higher familiarity with net tech

@SOB2 Hey, sorry if the reading of my comic strip is "superiority". That wasn't my intent. 😔 In fact, this morning, my TL on Tw was full of threads crypto/nfts/AI/web3 influencer against "mastodon complexity". An irony in regards of their topic. So, that's why I sketched this strip, mostly about people not doing the effort or low effort and then using a pretext of "bad UX" , "Complexity" or anything else to justify their final behavior: keep Twitter and trying to influence other to do so too.

@davidrevoy @SOB2 Maybe it would have less of a "superior" vibe and more of a "ridiculous" one if there was another character that climbed on a still available ladder?

@lanodan @SOB2 Ha maybe. I thought it was obvious because it was *a bird* that the character was doing almost no effort, aka not even trying it more than a flap of wing. Thanks for the feedback!

@obinice Hey, I see on your profile you already succeed at following other accounts, so you are doing great. 👍 You can use the search bar and enter hashtags keywords to find people sharing things around your interest. Have a good journey here.

@auxanges @davidrevoy i barely do. fedi tends to operate as a hivemind whenever current events like this go on though. it's like ten times the effect of twitter trends due to how everyone knows everyone here

@SOB2 @davidrevoy Are you using the official Mastodon app or one of the other ones?The official Mastodon App... needs some updates to be better, but many of the other ones have the option front and center to see the other Mastodon communities.

@reido Welcome here! Many are not even trying before spreading it is "too complex" or "bad UX". It's just a way to preserve their initial network and to influence against Mastodon. I see this trend growing.

@davidrevoy @reido there are other frontends to choose from too, so if mastodon isnt to their liking they can branch out and find something they are fond of

@davidrevoy @reido mastodon4 does have serious ux problems (sidebar on the right *when you are using a mobile device*, totally unreasonable cause the small width is made even smaller). a lot of users on servers that have upgrades to mastodon4 have complained about it.

@davidrevoy @reido and to make things worse, the "official" sites, where many people find their way into, are running mastodon4.

@tusooa Oh right, I have no idea about Mastodon v4; I just had a check on my instance https://framapiaf.org/about/more and it looks like I run on v3.5.3 .Thanks for this precious info! @reido

@tusooa @davidrevoy Aren't they using an app on mobile, though? If so, they can just search for a better third party app (I like Tusky)

@reido @davidrevoy the "official" mastodon mobile app is missing a lot of features *and that's a design decision*. (say, not adding local and federated timelines.)

@cliffhensley Yes, a lot of slowdown on big instances because the network was never tested to receive half a million new subscriptions in less than a week, it is unprecedented! Administrators are scaling up their servers (I can't imagine the costs behind it). It might be smoother in two weeks from here.

@Cascadianprepper Well, for sure, I can't tell because the palette of humans, ages, education to digital can be very wide. But for sure, a lot of documentation, tutorial, video and thread exist to guide them. So, if they abandon too quickly, it really show not a lot of effort or time to get it.

@davidrevoy Ahh, ok, so things in experiencing such as not seeing any new Posts in the Post feed for the past 72 hours is definitely a result of server issues, and not some obscure design intent I hadn’t figured out yet? That’s good to know. I’ll be glad to see what this place is like once everything is running smoothly again. 👍

@cliffhensley Hey, I checked your profile, and you are following no other account. You'll not have recommendation, or suggestion here, you need to use the search box, and search for hashtags. Discover peoples sharing interest, and follow them. That's a way to populate a post feed/TL. Good luck with it.

@davidrevoyIndeed!I saw/heard somewhere else that, a decade or two ago, when Twitter was not mainstream, it was weird to most people. Hashtags were not common man's lingo. Everything has a learning curve.
