I’m not sure if you will find much sympathy here. Many people (myself included) left Reddit because their policies and ethics now outweigh the benefits of a refined, smooth experience. Although, even that may be gone now if you’re switching from Apollo to the default Reddit app…
The communities here have made any occasional glitches worth it for me.
P.S. you can set your sorting preference under Settings.
As a fan of craft beer, I like the taste. It’s like drinking different types of bread.
When I toured Europe, I found the beer was definitely lighter there.
I think a lot of new users are coming in and interacting with the first post they see, which is usually the post at the top of the “hot” feed. In turn, this keeps the “hot” posts up longer because of the constant interaction.
I expect it’ll cycle through within the week once the blackout is up.
I think any Sens fan will agree with you. Hindsight is 20/20.
Following as I’d like to know too!
Your metaphor of multiple instances = multiple “Reddits” is exactly how I think of it as a layperson!
A few other people use the email metaphor, but I found it not as digestible since email is not a forum.
I loved those books as a kid. I’ll need to go out and find a set to read with my own kid someday.
Matilda is still a joy to read as an adult!
Same here. I put a lot of effort into carefully curating my subscribed list on Apollo - it definitely made the experience much more enjoyable.
The pessimistic Internet user in me knows we are in the honeymoon stage of a wonderful user base.
I agree, the hardest part for me was getting started.
“I like news - I’ll just register on the news Lemmy!” Ah. Sweet summer child.
Luckily I stumbled across my current instance and the creator seemed friendly and like a decent human being. But I doubt many casual Redditors will have the same patience to figure it out.
Literally. People forget that these instances are privately run (just as Reddit is). There is no obligation to the “public good”.
