Hmm… yes and no. XKCD comes to mind.

But yes, evolution will solve this issue.

I think that what is scary here is the steep learning curve. For people who has already developed habits/social circles on other platforms, it’s mighty confusing. For new comers, with no expectations it’s much easier.

Much like learning a new language.

I figured that much out.

The only problem is, as people have mentioned before me, is that there is a very good chance that there will be running_doom_on_obscure_things on lemmy.ml and “running_doom_on_obscure_stuff” on lemmy.world and “correre_doom_sul_cose_strani” on feddit.it. I believe that adding tags could solve that issue. On the other hand, it would mean that we have a doubled system. Which is not necessarily bad.

I’m new to the fediverse, exactly for those comments. I’ve tried Mastodon a few months ago, but let it go. Mostly since I wasn’t able to figure myself out there. Like, there were hashtags (yey!) but there was no way for me to follow/store the ones I’m interested in (boo!). Eventually I let it go since it felt like a tiny twitter, so maybe I did something wrong there.

And also now with Lemmy, I feel a bit out of place out the moment. Again, tags that I can see in the app I’m using (Jarboe) but Ic annot find them in the web interface.

Maybe I just need to explore more.
