Hey all, I am an avid BetterDiscord user. I have a OnePlus8t running Namelss13 custom rom (mentioning that for compatibility reasons) and looking for the smoothest, up-to-date, and best experience modified discord app with a sleek looking UI that has plugins & themes
I started out with Aliucord, but they don't seem to have it up to date super often (in terms of new features discord releases). Aside from that and I think having a few niche issues, it was a very smooth experience, they have a plugin repo directly through the app, in addition to themes, but themes also aren't supported on my own rom. Another reason I liked Aliucord was they have the tablet view by default, so the vertical separator is more narrow and space efficient. Their plugin repo selection is a LOT like betterdiscord, so much that it seems like some devs from there have worked on them
I wanted something more up-to-date and fresh looking, so I recently tried out Vendetta. Definitely checked both of those boxes, however, the navigation feels a bit more unresponsive for some reason. They have plugins and themes, but not through a repo - I have to look through their discord plugins channel, and it's sadly not nearly as broad as Aliucord. Vendetta by default doesn't have tablet mode enabled; there is a plugin, but it doesn't work consistently. This app also launches very slow for the initial startup if it wasn't in the background (for me)
Has anyone experienced a client that you would recommend over these two? Or is development not quite there (reaching my own personal expectations, at least), and these are still the best options? Just to note, the apps are well made - I just want more, so I know I'm probably asking for a lot :)
I'm trying to avoid using reddit at all, so trying to bring discussion here. Thanks in advance for suggestions or advice!
Ori and the Blind Forest + Will of the Wisps, hands down
I'm honestly not sure. I know my pickiness is making this really difficult and I might have to comparomise somewhere, but I'm not a fan of the asus chakram design that much. I'm hoping to get away from annoying quirks anyways, so maybe it wouldn't be for me either lol
I think I definitely have more of a relaxed claw, I used to have a suuuuuper bad claw grip but it got slightly better over the years
I use all 3 for a lot of games, so going down to 2 would be tough. It would probably have to have a lot of perks to make up for that
Oh, I forgot to mention that I love heavy mice, at least right now. Maybe because it being heavy makes it feel more premium and so less cheap? So I have a lot of weights put in this mouse
Oh man 3rd person is my favorite, so boy do I have a list for you. It's so hard to keep this short lol
- Control Ultimate Edition
- Hogwarts Legacy
- Any of the Zelda games (but really the classics, so using an emulator)
- Star Wars Fallen Order + Jedi Survivor
- Splinter Cell games
- Warframe
- Vindictus
- Black Desert Online
- Assassin's Creed games (I enjoy both the "og" games and the "new")
- Risk of Rain 2
- Valheim
- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
- Outriders - got a lot of hate, but our group of 3 had a lot of fun in 155 hours for the cost
- Tomb Raider games
- Star Wars Battlefront 2 Classic
Just to start off, I absolutely love this mouse for these reasons:
- I love the led style (it's enough, and not obnoxious)
- Material of the mouse itself + material of side grips (for thumb and pinky)
- 3 buttons on the side; I don't want more than like 4, and I like how my thumb isn't resting on the buttons normally
- Sleek design, and it's small-ish size and arch is perfect for my small hands
My only issue is that it randomly disconnects (wirelessly) and then reconnects, maybe once every 3 days. I use the 2.4ghz dongle, not bluetooth. I had already went through troubleshooting with support who gave me a new dongle. My dongle is maybe 5 feet from the mouse, on top of my tower
Preferably, I would also like a mouse with more battery life, I feel like if I don't charge it overnight then it'll run out of battery, so I plug it in every night (which isn't the end of the world, but a minor annoyance)
I know wireless devices won't be perfect, but I can't stand feeling the cable (or seeing it even, I know they make bungees) so I can't go back. Are my occasional disconnects going to always happen no matter what mouse I get? I would love to see some recommendations if you guys have a mouse you think I would like that almost never has issues
Edit: Also forgot that I like heavy mice, hence using the added weights inside the Rival 650
Absolutely fucking glorious!
It makes me so happy seeing reddit come together against this bullshit
This has me really, really interested.
For someone like me who used reddit exclusively for finding information, would this be a replacement that is the same or better? I never like random clickbait articles or sources that are sketchy, and I never know which are legitimate good sources of information, so I just stuck with reddit
I loved reddit because I would be able to find dozens of threads about my question, with dozens of comments and discussions around the subject. I could read through real enthusiasts answers and actual genuine experiences, which I consider extremely valuable. I take each comment with a grain of salt since obviously one random internet person might not be right, so I read many comments and put them together in my head, to decide on a best solution
Another reason is because I could almost always find an answer to my specific question. Super specific niche computer problems with answers that won't break your PC, custom rom for OnePlus 8t, yubikey configuration, bitwarden, financing, best money management software, cooking, intermittent fasting, I could go on
But, I didn't just use it for information, I also used it to get help about something (like asking questions or following up on a discussion) - but that's probably more going to be replaced by kbin
Can someone please ELI5 federation to me? I keep seeing threads and comments about this but I don't understand the concept. Does federation essentially just mean connecting all different instances and platforms across the fediverse which is how I can use kbin and see all the content here even if it's from Lemmy?
edit: thanks everyone for the answers :)

fuck spez
I have relied on using reddit as my google search for literally any topic or question I would have. I've had lots of laughs, met a lot of friends, and helped a lot of people. I have learned sooooo much from other people on a topic I was so lost about and most of the time they were extremely helpful or nice
I'm nervous that kbin might not become the new source of information (since google absolutely sucks ass). If anything it would take a long time to grow just purely out of members and data, considering reddit had to grow in order to be my search database. Either way, I'm hopeful. This place feels cozy
This has to be bumped up higher, I think people are still deleting their accounts before making sure their comments are either staying deleted or rewritten!!!
Can you provide a link to the "noise" memo that was leaked? I must've missed it because I haven't heard of this. If it convinced you and was the final straw to delete your account, I'd be interested in seeing it as well
I'm more set on overriding all my comments, but I'm still on the fence about deleting the whole account. At least, once I know with 100% certainty that they won't be reverted back to their original states (if possible)
I loved the way you wrote this for some reason. Very clear and well-informed
Probably like most of us, I use reddit as my search for quite literally almost any question or research I do - and this was done multiple times a day
I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do to find information. I absolutely LOVED reading real people's real and genuine with anything. Tech, cooking, intermittent fasting, specific games, guides, custom android roms, careers, I could go on forever. And I would look across dozens of threads and even more comments, and then smash them together in my head to come up with the most likely accurate answer to my problem. And let's not forget when dbags or misinformation is dowvoted to oblivion!
As a techie, I can't even count on my hands how many times I have found someone random person having the same completely random and specific PC issue that I had - and they showed what they tried, what didn't work, then I look in comments and find 6 different valid potential solutions. It was absolutely glorious and so useful
I hope that somehow, something even greater emerges from all of this that fills in this "need". I don't think reddit will ever be the same, and now I'd feel dirty using it to find information even if most of it will probably still be there
EDIT: wanted to add that I'm also worried because reddit was so easy to use and user friendly (at least in the ways we modified it lol) which made it really easy for people to join and add to the mass amount of information on the platform. I'm concerned that kbin/lemmy won't work as a true replacement because they don't seem nearly as straightforward
