To me it feels like a matured Reddit. (At least most of the time 🙃)

Compared to Reddit

  • too small. Most communities I’m interested in have too little activity
  • more wholesome. More than once I’ve been shocked at answers that were nice instead of snarky
  • too many UI bugs and unstable, yet somehow much less buggy and more stable than Reddit ever was
  • if you don’t feed the trolls, they go away quickly

Agreed. My interests get way too little activity. Otherwise I love the platform.

Yeah, it's a little weird that even broader topics tend to struggle here (e.g. music/tv & movies/books). Not as surprising with the niche stuff, as that can be pretty quiet even on other more popular platforms.

Hey in the spirit of the third point, I recently learned that if you put four spaces at the end of a line, you can then do a line break and it'll treat it as a real new line, instead of just moving your second line to the end of your first.
See?
Like this.
Pretty cool stuff.

Only 2 spaces
are required for this to work

Test
New line?

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Hey even better. Thanks!

[–] AA5B@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Cool. It does seem like there’s functionality in whatever form of markup there is here, but I barely learned Reddit’s and here I know very little yet

Agreed on point 1 the answer is we all need to create more posts. We can't expect others to do it for us.
