This is, ultimately, a sad truth that, in my bleaker moments, makes things feel hopeless. However, it can be addressed by improving UX, I suppose, in a pareto-efficient way that hopefully doesn't simultaneously compromise privacy, which does seem possible.

It seems this was meant to be a response to the parent comment. Or maybe you've done that intentionally to highlight the need for improved UX 😅

Tbh I don't think it matters all that much. Exclusivity is cool. Plus reddits idea of UX is literally just plastering advertisements all over your feed. Seems pretty easy to beat that out in the long run, it'll just take some time to catch up. They had a 15 year head start

Lol yup, true… definitely unintentional. I'm used to RES and being able to collapse / navigate comment chains with keyboard shortcuts

I wonder if there's anything analogous for Lemmy 🤔 I suppose the analogous thing would be to just directly add these as features to the frontend

Not sure but there's like 20 different apps and web apps in various states of development, along with Lemmy itself. I'm sure it'll come sooner rather than later.

Somebody recommended Alexandrite to me recently

Woah, didn’t know there was even one web app in development as I would have thought they’d just modify the Lemmy source code directly. I suppose that would take way longer to merge and be more controversial, too, than just writing one’s own front end

Nifty
