Exactly, it's all it takes right? I do genuinely wonder how many people on reddit were just bots, the amount of vitriol was super unbalanced compared to real people like on old forums. Does make ya think....
Nice pic OP. Always love seeing bees puttering around....wasps on the other hand. They're like the Germans in WWII XD
So dumb.
PS - It's quite awful reading reddit after being here. I uninstalled RES, and good lord reading the comment chains now is ghastly.
Oh it's not externally hosted? Interesting.
edit: oh shit, you're right. Damn that's new then?! Amazing.
On PC at least, go to your account settings and you can toggle 'Show read posts'. Untick this, and anything upvoted or looked at (looked at the comments, aka opened up) Will go away upon refresh.
This behaviour will carry over to the apps on refresh. It's quite aggressive though, so if you comment on something and want to check back on the activity you better bookmark it. But if you're like me , you only mostly care about replies to your comment :P
Hell yea - we are spoilt for choice right.
Oooh, first time seeing images/gifs in posts. This looks really nice on PC. Is that just a direct imgur link or something?
Give it a whirl man, it's pretty close to Apollo as well. It's just a little more solid right now than wef. Good luck!
I was a somewhat massive lurker on reddit, I didn't bother engaging much because I knew 60% of the time the reply would be snippy, even if my post wouldn't be remotely combative. So over the years I just stopped bothering mostly.
My inbox has kicked off more here in the last week than probably the last 365 days on reddit. It's really wholesome, for lack of a better term.
All it takes if you commenting, to fire off more comments just like now. It's good shit!
Nice OP!
Same here, if anything this whole thing has done me a favour. Many times the past year i've considered giving up reddit. I tend to scroll reddit when I play with the dog after walkies, and the amount of time my brain says 'why you do this shit?' as I scroll past nothing, looking at comment chains of constant bickering. Why am I scrolling pasts hundreds of pointless comments, meandering bad takes, puns, the time wasted...for what gain? It was kinda an addiction I guess.
The first day has been great tbh, Memmy feels good despite the instance' slowness. The Hot filter is pretty good for catching newISH posts, or light comment posts which i've been tagging onto.
It really feels like old school forum days, and it's been really awesome to have my inbox popping off with replies. What's the point of lots of comments like a big reddit thread when no one replies or even sees your comment? Really looking back, it was just pissing in the wind.
Or if you did get a reply over on pigboycity, it would be some massive drangus trying to start a fight. Just ugh. I deleted my posts and account yesterday, now reddits just gonna be my suffix for google searches when I need something (until the fed starts getting indexed over the coming months/years).
I also really like the look here. old.reddit to me always looked shit from a UI standpoint (Despite being massively better than New, of course). lemmy.world just looks concise without being overwhelming. I'm excited to see growth and engage with real people again just like the old days.
Googling my username I discovered i was quoted in a PCgamer article. Nice of em to let me know...I guess?
