Other people have mentioned it, but I'll mention it too because it's such an awesome feature. Piefed idebtifies duplicate posts across the fediverse and presents a combined comment section for them. It's amazing at tackling the duplicate content and endless cross-posts issue.
And while that's nice, and i will try it. it just highlights another usability problem. Fragmentation, which client should I use? Will that continue to be maintained? Nope it died well time to switch to another one I guess. Lots of problems like that across all decentralized platforms not just lemmy
That was true for Reddit too, clients came and went away
Yes but there was always an official one even though it was complete dog shit garbage that didn't matter to the average person that's what they are going to use. They don't care nor think about alternatives. It's easy to forget what the masses think about especially in places like this.
But that's not really the case with decentralized platforms there are a ton of different clients none of them are technically official and pretty much all of them is missing something it's just a matter of what's each one missing. And thats enough to kill usability for most average people
Voyager can be that default client
Very true, but that will fade as platforms mature
