Things just don’t get buried the way they do on Reddit. On Reddit I often didn’t comment on something if it was slightly older because nobody would see my comment anyway. Here it’s a completely different story. Sometimes I still get replies after like a week.
Absolutely. I don’t know much about the situation but it seems like the owner had some personal issues and just went radio silent on everyone up until someone made the new instance. The whole situation was definitely mishandled
As someone else said, feddit.de is dead and has been superseded by feddit.org. The original instance has unfortunately been abandoned by its owner.
Depending on what kind of content you’re into, you could try browsing through nebula‘s offerings. They’re sorted by categories and most of it is high-quality content.
You cannot watch the videos there without a subscription but almost all of the creators have YouTube channels too.
The serial port made a really good video about it recently. This channel is pretty amazing for early internet content.
Short term profit is all they care about until this platform crashes down completely
Not just privacy, mental health too
Are you telling me not everyone‘s using Firefox on Linux!?
What do you use for the icons? Are they vector images?
Facebookification should be a term. I think every platform that tries to grow at any cost will attract a certain audience that will ultimately make the platform less desirable. Like those spamming pins in facebook comments to get updates on the post instead of turning on updates in a context menu.
My town has one of the oldest underground wine cellars in Europe with some bottles up to 300 years old. I talked to somebody maintaining the wine cellar and part of the cork replacement procedure that happens about every 50 years is to taste the wine - just a drop though. Apparently it’s pretty awful. His colleague said “You have to taste your way up to one of these!” which sounds like bullshit to me. I bet it doesn’t get better after 1700 more years.
Coding is pretty much the only way to make a site that is both flexible and fast. If you wanna stay with page builders, I’d recommend something like webflow or framer but going with these closed systems is really not that amazing longterm. You’re gonna sink a lot of money into a system that will almost certainly enshittify in the future.
If you’re willing to pick up coding, try to make your own theme with something like Advanced Custom Fields in wordpress or switch to something like Kirby CMS which is more flexible out of the box than wordpress and has great docs.
I agree. I don’t hate wordpress. It seems a bit dated by today’s standards and bloated in some aspects but you can definitely make a solid, fast website with it. It’s getting a bad reputation for its toxic plugin dev scene and crappy sites built using Elementor.
oh boy, the average wordpress site has like 30 plugins and the top bar is getting cluttered with so many plugin upsells that it fills the whole screen. There’s a huge industry of people making wordpress sites who shouldn’t.
It’s quite frustrating to be asked as a dev to “fix” people’s site as my usual response is “shut it off and redo it well”.
It’s also great for solving issues when you’re stuck. Not because of its superior reasoning skills but it can solve beginner issues and write you a list of things to try when it doesn’t know the answer right away. It’s like a rubber duck that will talk back.
