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.
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.
I think it’s a sign of youth.
Honestly not bad. Im using the “Jerboa for lemmy” app and you can change the view settings to your liking. Once i start following “subs” or whatever they are called here it gonna be more or less the same.
Thank you for welcoming us
I’ve been on Reddit for 17 years. Definitely reminds me of when it was a much smaller community.
This is what got me into Mastodon. Federated socials feel like social media from 2010.
It’s superb.
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.
With growth comes moderation
Yup. It’s like web forums circa 98-02 give or take a year or three… It’s very nostalgic 😘
My feelings too. Its why I jumped on so quick. This hopefully lasts a bit but soon the content creators, influencers, marketers and teams will be here to crash the party
Can we guide them into dedicated communities that are filled with response bots to engage with them?
Win win
It reminds me of the Vampirefreaks UI a lot, and I love it.
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.
