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.
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.
Oh shoot. I’m glad you posted this as I just made a post and completely misinterpreted the message - I selected “English.” Hopefully that won’t filter it from too many users!
Thought I’d do my part to help kick off this community!
Thank you!! Subscribed!
I’m really enjoying the interface! I browse mobile on Chrome. I hope to see lots of people stick around and build some great communities.
Pleasantly surprised that most people are friendly, polite, and positive here - you never know what to expect when you make the switch.
I’m not very tech-savvy so it took a little bit to find my instance, but now it’s been smooth sailing.
A little sad, but I am not as attached to specific communities online. I’ve seen subreddits rise and fall too, so this just feels like another chance to find something new.
Commenting as that was one of my favourite subreddits and would love to join a similar community on Lemmy!
Literally. People forget that these instances are privately run (just as Reddit is). There is no obligation to the “public good”.
