!trendingcommunities@feddit.nl for folks who want to go straight there.

I’m seeing 43k likes and 48k views. That’s insane.

Just the frontend then I guess? Are you on mobile?

Looks like it’s been taken down

Very cool piece of software. Excited to get into it.

Gotcha. I’ll also crosspost this over there as well

I really think we’ll start seeing actual improvements as open source alternatives replicate corporate functionality. Existing options are a mess (particularly in a professional setting) for folks to try to implement as they have unstable business models and dubious ideas about intellectual property. See OpenAssistant for an example of where I think these models are headed.

In a similar vein, I’ve also seen Nextcloud used for this purpose.

It takes time for these things to get caught up. I would say on the order of the days for a new instance.

I think a really important thing to consider here is how much of Reddit’s culture was a result of bots and dark patterns. I think people will actually adjust fairly quickly and once sign ups start to settle a sort of diffuse equilibrium of cultures and attitudes will form that will generally look very different from Reddit. All that said, I think the foundational culture that we establish now will prove to be incredibly important. I think this is a great argument for why existing communities may choose to stay in the medium-weight class. Thereby avoiding the growth boost that comes from being the largest community.

EDIT: Also important to note, I feel like this is gonna be a slow, slow process. We really have no idea when sign-ups will settle and could be looking at months or days of Reddit hemorrhaging users. I think we’ll have a better idea after things kick off on the 30th.

If you’re looking for touch/stylus compatibility I highly recommend the Excalidraw plugin for Obsidian.

I may be wrong but I think this actually comes down to the linker linking incorrectly.

Let’s not forget reddit has a history of using bots to create the impression that the site is more active than it is. I don’t think it’s at all unlikely that that’s going on here.
