Personally I really like that lemmy is becoming more active and there’s more activity on mainstream topics outside the tech bubble right now.
What I don’t like is my instance becoming overwhelmed.
Penetration tester?
The other point for me is that reddit has been getting shittier long before the API change. Forcing you to use their crappy app when you just clicked a link on mobile, all this weird avatar and award stuff. The weird chat that got bolted onto their message system, yet keeping the two seperate?
There's no way I will pay for that.
In addition to what the others said, there was a „campaign“ a while ago that you should boost and not favorite on Mastodon.
Since there’s no algorithm that promotes liked posts in the timeline, liking something doesn’t do a whole lot.
That’s how it is most of the time for me. I unsubbed from LTT because their clickbaity videos made it hard for me to see what I’m interested in. With this extension I might actually start watching their stuff again.
Nice! Can’t wait to pay 40$ next year for that access.
Seriously though, it’s a great feature and I hope it stays.
If it was just looks. Usually the UX is simply not very good. We need more designers in the FOSS space.
