I guess because it’s featureful, easy and they provide a hosted, white labeled service. It’s not great, but it’s a safe useable bet. Most organizations don’t want to worry about it too much

Discourse is more lightweight? It’s consistently the slowest loading software that I use and lags everywhere

Fandom offers database dumps in xml, see here https://community.fandom.com/wiki/Help:Database_download

A little too long and generic. I think Fediverse is fine as long as we treat it as a name and don’t force people to necessarily understand what it means. People understand names, they’re the most human thing there is

Right, I’m not hung on the term, just the idea.

To add, discourse is pretty big among techy communities, including, ironically, the fediverse forum. It also has a pretty terrible user experience, but also a ton of tools for corporates, which lemmy will probably need if they want to market to those types (lot of potential money there).

And the thing is, even if those don’t add to the regular fedi/threadi verse, they still get people familiar with the platform and UI.

Basically we need to market it as a forum software instead of just a reddit clone

I think we need to actually do some new user testing, instead of endless discussion with nothing to back it up.

Cool aesthetic. React kinda defeats the point though

YouTube may have a feature to normalize audio, I remember reading something about it

I mean it’s one thing when you bring together a bunch of services that have no interest in being compatible, verses a bunch that are all conforming to the same standard.

I think admins choose, but tbh reddit is also pretty algorithmic these days

People have been using email since they were five and all modern lives depend on it. If they don’t understand federation they will just be confused why they can’t see the content and leave. “I didn’t understand it and it didn’t work” is one of the more commons reasons I’ve seen on Reddit for failing lemmy

As a younger tech person, I definitely don’t get a lot about email. It’s old and weird and arcane and half it’s features that match newer services seem to be built on top of hacks that are enforced through convention alone that will break if I decide I like to format my titles a little differently. Third party clients work, but the main providers, Gmail outlook use some proprietary api to make sure their own works well while everyone else gets stuck with shitty imap. There’s endless little incompatibilities. It all just feels like delerict tower held together with miles of duct tape. Oh and I still haven’t found a good answer to why calendars are so tied up with email.

It may be a little overly negative, I use mastodon, I just don’t find it useful to publish my stuff on

Dude this is 10x simpler than WordPress

It works with anything lemmy works with, so yes

Hey aren’t you the duckquill dev?

Update: I think I see the problem, comments are too wide on small screens. I’ll see if I can fix it

It should work on mobile. What problem are you seeing?

Yeah I could add that.

as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.

Well I’d have to load something to show this, unless I set it manually, which would be cumbersome.
