It’s similar to how Twitter users say Mastodon is “hard”. They want a 1:1 copy of Reddit or Twitter, and don’t want to learn new things because any kind of learning at all is unpleasant.

But that will change when—not if—the network effect of the social web becomes apparent.

I’m not a Lemmy admin, but from what I’m seeing, there’s been an uptick of 4,000 Lemmy registrations within the last 24 hours.

There’s now 477,048 Lemmy accounts.

 

r/RetroGaming is very strict about retro. They say the Nintendo 64 is retro while the PlayStation 2 is modern. This despite the fact the PlayStation 2 is now 25 years old.

So I got to wonder about this community deems as “retro”.

Or a better question: what’s considered retro and not retro? What’s the fine line between retro and modern?

Like Lemmy, I think the UI/UX of Mbin needs improvement. For example, just the other day, I tried to hide a specific community and was t able to easily discover how to do that.

This isn’t to say that Mbin is horrible. I’m using it right now. It just needs improvement.

Well, I know Lemmy, Mbin, and Piefed are imperfect but they will have to do.

As for me, I think I’ll indefinitely stop using Reddit except to keep r/Sizz on maintenance.
