Yeah, except the volume button part, and only to go down

It was also a thing in the stock app. Actually, the fact that it was so fucking buggy was one of the things that made me go to infinity

I did, but mostly I just saw that the UI was different, and it had microblogging. So Kbin, practically speaking, is just Mastodon and Lemmy mixed into the same site, but on different tabs? That's all I'm getting. It calls communities 'magazines', but seeing as lemmy communities from other instances are treated as magazines, they're basically the same? Same with the 'tweets'?

Although it's still missing the button to go to the next top level comment

I still don't understand the difference between Lemmy and Kbin

I think the question is more "how many of these hurdles can be overcome, and how many are a fundamental flaw in how Lemmy was created?". Decentralization is good for many things, but it has many drawbacks.

And well, people want to find a Reddit alternative, but Lemmy is just not there yet. People will obviously get disheartened when they have to jump through a bunch of hoops just to find the community they wanted, only for them to then find it empty with only a few posts from 2 years ago.

And honestly, the stock Reddit app may be a shitshow, but it's certainly way better than the Jerboa alpha. I think most people aren't as affected by the change, and are doing the protest more out of principle than anything else. Obviously the lack of mod tools will affect everybody, but I think that issue is much more nebulous and we don't know how bad it'll actually be yet. All of that makes it way harder for people to commit to the switch.

^and yes, if it wasn't obvious, I'm people^
