I honestly do not mind it one but. I quite like the interface. It’s minimal but there are some bugs to it which is to be expected. I really do like the overall design of it though. There isn’t too much going on. It’s like old Reddit which I am a big fan of
I really like lemmy so far. With such a small community it almost feels like how online forums used to be
Yes! It sorta reminds me of the early days of Reddit ironically. It has a nostalgic charm to it.
I’ve been on Reddit for 17 years. Definitely reminds me of when it was a much smaller community.
Was just saying this to my friend. Big difference is it is auto darkmode and not white like reddit was.
i like that it [at least in the foreseeable future] won’t debut some vomit-ass new design whose only purpose is to make number go up
Default dark mode is the sign of a good platform.
Yes a similar thing happened on voat, but voat died and it wasn’t just because of the trolls. It was because the only people who commented commented about reddit, it was basically a reddit based forum, and when people got tired of complaining about reddit they just left. Make sure to use this community as much as possible to grow it and keep it this way. Make it a habit to login daily and replace bad habits with this new habit. And 9/10 your favorite community won’t exist here, and I highly encourage you to build it if it doesn’t and then promote it. I am doing that for /c/frugal: https://lemmy.world/c/frugal
I think instead of solely talking about Reddit, people are creating communities based off reddit communities like c/tifu or c/mildlyinfuriating and carrying on as usual so I’m hopeful that the same thing won’t happen to lemmy!
And the reddit blackout is forcing people into the habit of using lemmy. Ideally that habit replaces the old one.
It feels very raw and less curated which I like. It feels more like I’m interacting with people and less like I’m interacting with an algorithm
Or what some mod thinks you should and should not be seeing.
This is what got me into Mastodon. Federated socials feel like social media from 2010.
It’s superb.
