The problem is just when someone in the past said “you should join !”, you were always able to just immediately go to forum x’s signup page and sign up. But if someone hears of Lemmy, and goes to join-lemmy.org, there is no way to go to a signup page directly.

People should probably stop saying "join Lemmy", and instead link directly to the site/instance they suggest

User should create an account on one server

Mostly this. Some people might want a few accounts but those would be hardcore users.

the password/cookie should still work even when awaiting validation, password is set before the email is sent

maybe I'm misreading what you're saying, but we already have this, works the same way as Reddit

Lemmy should have some sort of recommendation alhorithm.

https://quiblr.com/ is a Lemmy frontend that does this

Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?

I'm not a Lemmy dev (well I've made a couple of small commits lol), but this type of question can be hard to answer from the inside of a project.

It would probably be easier to answer a question more like: "Do you plan to implement feature XYZ in order to be easier to use like Bluesky?"

the apps! the app support is really great for Lemmy

Back to Anachronox, Shogo Mobile Armor Division, and Battle Zone 98 Redux, for me.

Wow what a list of games lol. I loved Anachronox, that game is underrated

The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.

Lemmy does have this actually

New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums

and then there's the "Active" sort, which is kind of a compromise

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

It's a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from News@lemmy.world here

Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?

the comments from the other communities actually stand out more than the comments of the current community, due to the headers, without the header the comments just kinda blend in
