Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
It's just a bit od that you are announcing it on another reddit replacement without bothering to make a comparison.
It looks like you just made an account, have you even looked at how Lemmy compares to reddit?
The main point of Lemmy/mbin is to be a federated service, but you are not even mentioning the federation angle in passing. If you are building a centralised service, why? If not, do you plan to adopt activity pub?
I get why it might come across that way. My intention wasn’t to compete with Lemmy or take away from it. Federation is powerful, but it also adds a lot of moving parts. My goal with Nooki is to quickly experiment with the feel of a lightweight, text-first Reddit-style space. If it sticks, I would be very open to adopting federation standards. I’m personally interested in both ActivityPub and AT Protocol.
I 100% agree that federation is hard, but the opposite of federation is fragmentation, which is the death of a social platform.
So why would someone pick Nooki? What does a text-only reddit clone bring too the table?
Is it meant for low resources solution for TUI enthusiasts? To make it easier to circumvent censorship and organise small activist groups?
Right now, Nooki isn’t trying to compete at that federation scale, it’s more of an experiment in minimal, text-first discussion spaces.
The idea is mainly to create a simple, clutter-free environment where people can just post and chat without the extra noise. So for now Nooki is lightweight, minimal, and focused on words first. Whether it grows into something federated or niche-focused is something I’ll explore if people actually enjoy using it.
definitely worth considering optimizing it for use with
Thank you! Optimizing for screen readers makes total sense, and I hadn’t considered command line text-only browsers before but I will def. look into how this could support them better in the future
