we can redesign the on onboarding process.
๐ stop explaining new terms ๐ fuck infinite list of random names with anime girls (what do you want me to do,read!?)
Make it like a map and turn instances into buildings (or gardens/circle/doesnt matter). Show some stats like how big, who i can talk to, topic. Gamify the experience so the fatigue turns into curiousity.
That's a cool idea
Imagine sending your friend a minigame and you accidentally sign him up for lemmy
I do like the idea of a map.
We have colonized the Internet it's probably about time we start making a map for those that follow.
