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!

    Thanks! It is useful for me to have more of a poke around there, for sure!

    Of course, human-centred design and UX is more than just bug reports (sorry I’m probably telling you stuff you already know).

    I am also interested to connect with other people thinking about the UX (end to end user experience) of Lemmy: find out what’s already been done in terms of speaking with diverse potential users, finding out how people want to use it, thinking about mental models and user stories, etc.
