I’m going to be honest, the whole blackout seemed pretty ineffective.
Also lmao at people complaining about the UI of Lemmy - did they fully expect a finished polished website to just be ready for us to migrate to?
throbbingpensI ended up getting a tildes.net invite too. The UI is a lot more polished over there. But the devs are being really cautious with managing user load, so it’s not public/open yet.
sensiblepuffinThey're also dynamically adding communities (the idea is that people will post to, say, sports.gunners and then once that gets popular enough it would get split off into its own community), which is a good idea, but it's nice to be able to make your own from the get-go.
I_am_the_grassI think it's a smart way to manage scaling your site but I think what made Reddit unique (and what Lemmy is replicating) is the ability to create your own little bubble in the world no matter how niche. I was aware of Tildes and still chose Lemmy instead for that reason.
Honestly, I'm starting to prefer the smaller community here on /c/gunners even compared to /r/gunners. Feels a little for personal.
I signed up for Tildes, Kbin, and Lemmy but that's just because I wanted to be on the trains early. I don't mind Tildes for general discussion (i.e. what video games are you playing or what's your opinion about this world event) but I don't think I'd enjoy talking about something that only affects us (Pepe being sold) on Tildes. I'm glad we have some semblance of options post-exodus.
