Hi, can anyone point me to discussions or e.g. working groups focusing on user experience aspects of Lemmy?
I’m new to Lemmy but have been working in non-profit tech for many years.
Currently, my day job is in UX, broadly speaking. As a volunteer gig I’m looking to help a local group that’s investigating the pros and cons of spinning up Fediverse instance(s). My focus is on the question of how we could help people in our town get signed up and using these services fluently.
Lemmy seems like a good candidate platform (to me) for meeting some of our group’s needs. So I’m keen to get up to speed with the state of play (current priorties, known issues, plans and work in progress) in terms of making it as user-friendly as possible. I may have also capacity to contribute skills and time to these aspects of the larger Lemmy project. Where can I read about the current goals and plans? Who are the people bringing UX tools and human-centred design to Lemmy and how can I reach them?
Thanks!
@sarahsquirrel #UX is an interesting thing with ActivityFed since choice or service, server and UI are all kind of independent. e.g. I use #Lemmy communities alot via a #Friendica server that I sometimes access via web UI and othertimes via #Fedilab as such you could actually help with UX of lemmy by contributing to #Friendica or #Fedilab as well.
Regards your local group perhaps #friendica might provide a fuller set of features or indeed you could spin up something like #Yunohost and run a Friendica and #lemmy service for them (and throw in some #Nextcloud to)
