@tasket @ErikUden @Gargron Because Facebook, Twitter etc had excellent UI/UX from day one ?
Regarding the fav / repost and the lack of seeing outside your local timeline ... Yeah that's the design of ActivityPub.
It's designed to work differently than a twitter timeline , and in fact, it's designed to work in an infinite way by using simple concept on which you can slap your favorite way to display data . I don't say everyone will stay, but at least let them try to learn it .
