I at least modify the layout Windows to be more like 7.
Or just specific software that is not available on Linux.
It’s completely necessary.
How else does one click hotkeys while standing?
I can’t speak much on modding. I was a mod of a sub that only lasted a day or two and was shutdown. So my experience was very limited
That new ugly UI.
It’s so damn cluttered.
Bad news, Reddit is a zombie.
Yeah, “community” is kinda bland.
And I feel it has the potential to make newbies confused with instance.
I feel like most of the problem would be physical hardware. Costly servers that would need to be able to meet Lemmy’s growing demands.
I’m not sure how much optimization from the software side can be done to reduce resource requirements. There’s certainly things that can be done to improve user experience though.
Potentially. Though Reddit claims that the vast majority (like 90+%) used the official app. Of course, if such was true then you’d expect they wouldn’t pull the rug out from under everyone.
I can believe a majority used the official up. Maybe even a supermajority. 80% maybe.
But throwing a fit over 1-10% of your user base and doubling down when that low percentage doesn’t agree? I dunno.
It’s a big enough number that made them want to kill the third-party apps but it’s small enough that they felt they could survive the backlash.
A lot of this sounds familiar.
I just wonder of this is actually going to have a similar effect. Controversial decision but I’m pretty used to seeing companies get away with shitty choices.
Could yes.
But only if they’re able to survive and thrive. Money is a very tricky thing.
As for my example, I was talking more about something like Red Cross (random example) wanting their own Lemmy insurance. Why they would want that. I was really just jesting about the shit posting
One aspect I’d love (and is apparently in the works) is swapping instances while keeping your history. A migration tool of sorts. Would help.
Still the roughness is sorta endearing in its own way. But I don’t think it’d be endearing to most people.
Or maybe nonprofit organizations. Though I’m having a harder time imagining why they’d need a social network site, especially if it’s federated with our shit posting “sublemmies” or whatever we’re calling them here.
I noticed you talked about the load balancer being a person. Sounds like it’d be better if it was a bot. They just see which pool is currently the emptiest and put them there, right?
Although you seem to be suggesting live instance swapping. Which might be possible in the future. Right now appears to be tied to registration.
They’re definitely shit posts.
Haven’t saw any human beans. Yet, at least.
I’m just trying to find the snack bar.
In a normal, nonfederated site, sure. But when you throw instances on top of it, it gets a bit more complex.
On another note, I don’t believe we’re gonna get a lot of people coming here who aren’t redditors.
