“But if you have a shitty attitude stay where you are”
Also, to avoid doing unpaid labour for Jeff Bezos, go from Goodreads to Bookwyrm!
All due respect to Mastodon but BlueSky is way more viable right now.
On Wafrn you can see and interact with posts on Wafrn, Mastodon, Misskey, and Bluesky.
What about streaming?
Peertube or Owncast
Is peer tube any good ?
There are some good youtube mirrors on peertube though and the videos can be downloaded. Also no youtube censorship! I bet you can find some good movies like in the old age of youtube
Loops is mid. The community is pretty inactive, and the iOS build is quite buggy and lacking.
It only released onto the AppStore 3 days ago. I’d argue they deserve some time to get it right.
Really wish Loops had an Android app.
Thanks!
Ditto! I’m now loopy. Never heard of it before today. Enjoying it (and getting incentive to brush up on German).
FTFY
I’ve tried to promote Lemmy on Reddit in the past, only to be met with people complaining about the really old UI and bad UX, they also complain about tankies.
PieFed doesn’t have that bad rep, so I’ve found it easier to promote, both lead to the Fedivers so either is a win.
UX/UI are only as bad as the client is. For me, Lemmy is indistinguishable from reddit (if you don’t look at numbers of comments), because I use Lemmy Sync, as I used Reddit Sync before
I used Lemmy for months, mostly in the browser and my UX was absolutely horrible.
The default browser UI sucks.
I had to try many different settings and eventually through a lot of effort found the Photon UI, which is nice.
The vast majority of users just won’t go through that effort. PieFed’s default UI is quite clean and modern and much nicer to use, which is why I promote it instead
I honestly use the Voyager web client in my desktop PC, it works pretty well.
I’m checking in with voyager here, and I came from the reddit Apollo app and I feel the same.
It was practically seamless, though I’ve considered switching to try out other clients.
Tried Piefed and find it clunky with my current level of familiarity
