the iOS app experience is clean, it’s still less functional than desktop but I feel like that’s expected.

Picture of Said Wolf!

Costa Rica is a beautiful and wonderful place. People are so warm and amazing to be around. Where did you meet this noble beast?

I feel like the API debacle made me realize I had Stockholm syndrome. I look back and realize I would write and delete comments because I would be sure I’d have another redditor debating or nitpicking something unimportant, a lot of interactions were just antagonistic. Even a good amount of content was kind of boilerplate, a formula of what was going to get the most upvotes.

If i never see a post about people complaining about karma or other meaningless internet points again, it’ll be too soon!

Beehaw is a community that wants to create a specific type of experience for its users, it wants to create a safer space and has stricter rules.

I think it’s personally a non-issue that people get riled up about. They’ve temporarily defederated from lemmy.world because of the large spikes in new users and wanting to have the moderation tools necessary to handle that while keeping their community the way they want it.

There is a subset of new Lemmy users who think this experience needs to be Reddit 2.0, that it needs to be perfect and totally smooth for new users, or else it will fail?

Personally, I don’t agree. I don’t want Lemmy to be Reddit at all. In the last month, I’ve found that I didn’t realize just how bad my Reddit experience had become. I’m okay with the experience being a little rough around the edges here and adjusting together. It has become obvious based on how good my interactions were here. How solid and interesting the content was. I’m not fiending for my specific subreddits, I’m good to move on and find new areas to focus on the internet.

I have a separate account for Beehaw, all the iOS apps already have way way better functionality than the Reddit official app, I can seamlessly switch between accounts. It’s been absolutely amazing to see how much this site and experience has evolved in one month. I’m super excited for the future here.

Thank you for everything that you do!

Lemmy reminds me in a big way of the internet in 2000s, things are still being set up and figured out. It’s going to be a while till there’s a reliable and polished experience and that’s actually a good thing. It takes time to build something great and there’s a lot of a learning curve.

Patience is a good thing to practice now and hopefully the new user base can find the great things we’ve seen with Lemmy and have some patience as things stabilize.

the #17 most watched movie on AppleTV is Titanic… I was surprised haha

this reminds me of the days of ice soap chili

the sweet feeling of solitude.

Couldn’t agree more. It’s been exciting to see the development, connect with people, and see meaningful content posted every day.

I have found myself actually being more open to exploring new and different content rather than sticking with my typical genres. Makes it easier as the site grows to learn more and appreciate it.

couldn’t agree more, interactions are meaningful, content is actually good. Didn’t realize how bad reddit got over the last decade.

bro, did Jurassic Park teach us nothing? when you gotta go, you gotta go!

The other thing is why this timeline? I think it’s because of the downgrade of the valuation on the IPO.

It seems like there are investors and other forces plus the absolutely awful communication and leadership from Huffman.

They are in this spot where people who don’t seem to understand Reddit are making decisions about it.

Even if this doesn’t “kill” reddit, the decision making has been very obviously hostile toward its users and future.

do you have any more info on how to get started with this? I have no desire to go back but would love to know how to loosely lurk like that

this guy is such a loser
