Damn, that's very low. I figured it'd be higher, given the amount of upvotes.
Yeah, it wasn't great tbh. The whole markdown list was a bit tedious. Can't do it on a phone well either. But also, I find private messaging very unintuitive on Lemmy. I opened my laptop to fill it out, but it took a while before I found the chat thing (in the notifications area apparently).
I think Maomao is great, but I think Shisui meant more for this season than Maomao did.
