I've noticed that when submitting a thread or reply to a thread the submit button will often endlessly go into a load state even after the data has been sent/comment/thread posted. Is this happening to anyone else?
Oh I don't disagree with you. It's frustrating trying to explain this to this type of person though because they're typically dead set on hating Lemmy by that point.
I think it's become an issue because the type of person to actively leave and protest Reddit will be sensitive, even if overly so, to issues like this.
I've been trying to make people aware of Lemmy on discord and Mastodon, but it's always met with resistance citing "the devs are pro authoritarianism tankies." Kbin seems to be picking up steam because of the developer baggage.
Do you feel like this negative perception will hamstring Lemmy's growth?
It's going to end with a relatively small reddit exodus with most returning to reddit in a few weeks. People are lazy, and will concede to the API changes just like they all did with Twitter. Remember when Musk took over and made all those dramatic changes heavily monetizing the platform? Everyone was crying how Twitter will die and that they were all quitting. Well guess what? Almost all of them went back to Twitter anyway and now use the official app just like Musk wanted. Reddit will be no different sadly.
It's a real shame that Reddit seems to care this little about the community that rather than making an effort to talk to developers and moderators and apologize for how this was handled, they'd rather just wall themselves off and and dare users to keep going. https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/13/23759...
Apollo developer Christian Selig responds to today’s Reddit press release about riding out the protest.

Apollo developer Christian Selig tooted on Mastodon about Spez’s press release earlier today.
This is the thread I saw: https://lemmy.world/post/61179
and growing at a faster rate. Is this true? Seeing as how Lemmy can’t communicate with Kbin but Kbin can with Lemmy it seems like Kbin might be the better bet or am I missing something?
Bigger is not always better. Smaller communities are exactly why the old internet used to be better. Less centralization of userbases meant more productive discussion and friendlier communities.
Thank you! I just noticed that. They have to manually delete the account as it just submits a request. Are you kidding me? What an inefficient system.
I signed up kbin.social but have since decided to go all in on Lemmy. I’ve tried all day to delete my account on kbin but it won’t let me. Once I click the delete confirmation pop up it simply reloads the feed and keeps your account.
Be warned. Currently you have no control over your data there. I think that settles it for me. I won’t be using that service again.
This is what I want to know. I don’t want to be in a walled garden.
Do you have one and do you think Facebook groups are a viable Reddit alternative? I hear they’re pretty popular.
I'm currently on mastodon.social for my instance, and I was informed the other day that because of poor moderation it's been permanently defedereated by enough instances to make it an issue for users there to have reach outside of their home instance. Is this true? Should I move to a different mastodon instance? Thank you!
and it's substantially better. Far less laggy. Lemmy.ml is literally unusable anymore. Thanks for making this instance so awesome!
