LiftOff currently seems to be one of the most-commonly recommended apps for new users. For a lot of the refugees currently migrating from the Reddit 3rd party apps that got shutdown yesterday, this will be their first experience of Lemmy/The Fediverse.
As such, I think it'd be a really great idea to have a little new user experience that explains some basic concepts e.g
- Basic app usage
- What is Lemmy?
- What is an instance?
- Does it matter what instance I pick?
- How do you create an account?
- Discovering/Subscribing to communities
We don't want to scare off by being too complex so presentation is everything. The key thing is giving people just enough info to help them get set up with an account and subscribed to some interesting communities (and ideally with a very basic understanding of instances)
What do people think?
I've been having a helluva time just logging into Lemmy still. Kbin seems ok on my end but I can get in lemmy.world on desktop no prob, however on my iphone I can't connect wefwef or sign into lemmy.world.
I had my phone next to my screen double checking passwords and usernames etc and they were the same. After I initially signed up on lemmy I did reset my password so I wonder if my old one is still there on the mobile side? I've been trying to reset my password again, this time on my mobile side but I've been timing out all morning.
Anyone else having a similar problem? I'm assuming it's early growing pain like reddit went through years ago so I'm patient. Just eager to get connected.
