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

[-] KillaBeez@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Yes! It sorta reminds me of the early days of Reddit ironically. It has a nostalgic charm to it.

[-] RichardPoggers@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

Was just saying this to my friend. Big difference is it is auto darkmode and not white like reddit was.

[-] Rhiannax3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Default dark mode is the sign of a good platform.

[-] redballooon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I think it’s a sign of youth.

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

[-] Smokus_pocus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] TigerClawTV@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

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

[-] RarePepeCollector@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Or what some mod thinks you should and should not be seeing.

[-] redballooon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

With growth comes moderation

[-] taj@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Yup. It's like web forums circa 98-02 give or take a year or three... It's very nostalgic 😘

[-] Melvin_Ferd@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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

[-] redballooon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Can we guide them into dedicated communities that are filled with response bots to engage with them?

Win win

[-] Sludgerunner@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It reminds me of the Vampirefreaks UI a lot, and I love it.

[-] RarePepeCollector@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

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!
