I recently stumbled upon Lemmy from SimpleX github. This is my first interaction.
Why Lemmy? It seems to be an alternative to Reddit, but what sets it apart? I’ve explored, participated and built nodes in Nostr, which positions itself as a Twitter alternative, so I’m curious about what makes Lemmy unique and what it needs to succeed?
Who Lemmy? Like Nostr, the community here seems to define the platform. Without algorithms to shape the narrative, the vibe is driven by its users—radicals, dreamers, and wayfarers. Is that a fair read? Who else calls Lemmy home?
How Lemmy? What’s the vision here? How does Lemmy aim to change the social media landscape? Decentralization is intriguing, but what’s the endgame? Escape from algorithms is exciting but from what I see raw and unfilters humans have chaotic thoughts.
Where Lemmy? Where’s the Lemmy Lobby? When folks onboard where do they go to connect? The communities Ive checked seem to have a variation of really old posts and infrequent posts. Are we that early or is this platform suffering from slow growth?
What’s your perspective on the success of decentralized social media?
Could you explain why use mbin
My reply to B would be to use a different client but I agree that the default isn’t too good looking on most instances.
i come from a world where your server product shouldnt look like ass without some 3rd party app.
I would say it is just an example implementation and doesn’t need to be great. I think most of the effort should be focused towards server functionality not the client.
Not sure about css, but Lemmy works on mobile browsers too, right?
