Not so sure about the UI overhaul, but I do like the notes feature. I can see it being a very handy way for me to remember what I'm doing, especially if it syncs my notes between my desktop and my Steam Deck.
The difficulty of finding subredditscommunities is a problem. And, when you do find one, nine times out of ten the link you click takes you to a different Lemmy server, from which you cannot join the community.
And then there's the problem of fragmentation and duplication, which has been explained better by other users on this thread.
There are lots of little problems here and there, like the language defaulting to "Undetermined" which hides your post from everyone who just naively selected English.
Fortunately, I'm (reasonably) technically-competent so I can make it work for me, and I recognise that even getting this far with development is a massive achievement. But I'm pretty sure the average internet user isn't going to stick around until the project's a bit more polished and mature.
I quite liked the 2005 and 2009 logos. Showing a bit of detail on the planet was a nice touch. But I definitely understand why they chose to simplify the logo over time.
Thank you for the tips, Mika! I left my old FC because of toxicity and it has been harder to progress without that camaraderie - guess I need to find a new FC. :)
Thank you for creating this server/instance/whatever the right word is for me to flee to. Hopefully I can feel like I belong here, along with many others. :)
I've recently started working my way through the Telltale Games and Don't Nod back catalogues. Strong Bad's Cool Game For Attractive People is great fun, and Life Is Strange Before The Storm plays really well too. :)
Please ELI5 why someone would want to buy a Reddit account?
