@hobbsc I'm using quitter (se) and I can't find a 'remote follow' button button anywhere. Any hints?
-
@hobbsc this is the first aspect of UX that needs to be fixed if we want Jane Average to leave the walled gardens for the #Fediverse
-
@hobbsc is there a group that works on improving the #UX across the #Federation? If so I'd be keen to join it. If not maybe there could be?
-
@strypey @hobbsc The problem isn't that much that people don't know what to improve (everybody knows remote following kinda sucks), but more that there's nobody willing to actually implement things.
-
@lambadalambda @hobbsc sure, and I'm guessing they're busy putting out a billion back-end fires, which no doubt seem like higher priority ;)
-
@lambadalambda @hobbsc but I've found 'thing x sucks, fix it' is less helpful than #UX nerds offer specific advice, even visual mock-ups
-
@lambadalambda @hobbsc also getting user feedback on suggested changes/ mock-ups, and refining them before presenting them to devs.
-
@lambadalambda @hobbsc basically, doing everything except actually code it. This is especially good when improving UX across many platforms
-
@strypey @hobbsc That's very true! Would be nice to have more UX people working on fediverse stuff.
As an aside, I am working on a new frontend for GS at https://gitgud.io/lambadalambda/pleroma-fe and we do need UX help.

@strypey i'm not so sure i want folks piling onto the !fediverse but UX would help that process. mastodon seems to have a slick enough UI to draw some less technically inclined folks. the free software and gnu branding isn't helping us at all. there's a serious stigma around the fsf and gnu projects.
