Agreed. In general people seem to like centralised platforms. They don’t want to sign up on another site for a specific purpose. They stick to what they know unless there’s good reason to change (mostly peer/ad/social media pressure I feel like).
In a way Lemmy is similar in that it’s a single platform to access all types of content. Given most people don’t care about the technical “how”, I can see why they like Discord and Reddit.
Streamlining cross posting is a good idea, as long as someone actually read the post and posts it with a purpose. On second thought, I think cross posting is simple enough, given that titles are usually auto completed.
I’m generally against automatic cross posting bots, as they usually post duplicates, bad articles (instead of a proper source). Additionally, they often flood communities with an amount of content they are too small to handle. I.e. a lack of users to vote on posts let’s good articles drown in a flood of mediocre posts. This can kill communities as they feel even more empty than with fewer posts but more comments.
I do think the second part of your statement was unnecessary.
Well I do like new Reddit. It has a dark mode and works well with different screen/window sizes. Sadly it’s slow and equires JS to load the content (makes it slow).
Imo Lemmy web is most of the good parts of old Reddit and some of good parts of new Reddit. Though it’s not the best UI. My favorite UI for Reddit is Redlib [1]. It’s fast, works well on desktop and mobile, and looks great imo.
Yes. I like to leave the original link in the post body for that reason.
