I know that the purpose of Lemmy is to be split into instances and stuff to stay independent or whatever, but - imo - if it really wants to become a true alternative for Reddit it needs one place for users to land. Something like "LEMMY.COM" where you can see all instances + all communities, where you can log into your instance, maybe even log into more than one instance at once (let's be honest, who doesn't have a separate porn account these days lul)

The thing is, most of us used Reddit until now instead of Lemmy because Reddit did the overall browsing experience a lot better. Yeah it needed the help of third party apps for that, true, but I could just open reddit, look at r/all or my subscribed subreddits and be done with it. Being on Lemmy feels like "oh yeah, this is a great idea, but wow it is very inconvenient to look through this place"

(Btw, I LOVE the lemmy logo!)

@ComputerSagtNein One thing that could be made a lot easier on Fedi in general is browsing posts on remote instances. I don't understand why there isn't an easier method than going to the remote instances web page, copy pasting URLs etc. It seems very inconvenient

Mastodon has the ability to subscribe to Lemmy subs via ActivityPub I believe. Is there not something like this available in kbin at the moment?

@ComputerSagtNein @Nolando I think it's possible on Kbin to subscribe to Lemmy communities? I'm always seeing lemmy posts floating around on kbin.social but i dont really use kbin so im not an expert.
