Library should serve the community, and if the community feels it isnt doing so in its best regard they fully have the right to it, whether or not other people on the opposite side of the country like it

No I am saying to me it seems like the vast majority of confusion for new users is giving them this super long detailed explanation of federation, and/or users trying to figure out which instance they should be joining. As a new user all you really have to know is to go on lemmy.world and signup and its just like reddit.

What I said is what I’ve done and have had zero to worry about.

Yeah thats fair on your communities disappearing. Not really a common things thats happening though, and not something youd really notice until you used it for a while.

1. Sign up at lemmy.world.
2. Done

No need to explain all the other crap

I dunno about this. I REALLY like the idea of fragmenting the whole user base. When a community gets too big it ceases to be a community.

Why does the whole internet need to see then same content, and be a collective hivemind?

Whats wrong with the current user size we have on this current community? Id even argue its too big already. If it blows up by 100x we run back to having posts with 10k replies, 20 or so which everyone will read. Its a really dumb system

You’re talking about different issues I think. What OP mentioned is inconsistency with one community being seen across different instances.

Nah I dont even like visible upvotes/downvotes. Just incentives the complementary wrong mindset for healthy discussions.

Your reputation should be what people know of you not points.

I worked at Tinder, we had something like 100 engineers for 20 million or whatever daily active users., and I think it was rather well managed with everyone doing a part. Reddit is 20x user wise and far more complex feature wise, so maybe it makes sense.

It seems absurd, but there’s a lot of things going on that you don’t think about. Bots, Ads, Moderation tooling, User management, Chat feature, NFTs, revenue features, push notifications, user targeting, ranking algorithms, etc all consist of whole teams.

Nah I disagree. Turning things less serious is not necessarily a bad thing. People will visit to check it out but long term it will get stale and die off.

Check out svelte, its pretty much native JS.

Doesn’t get much simpler than this https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.server.js https://github.com/ando818/lemmy-ui-svelte/blob/main/src/routes/%2Bpage.svelte

I love SvelteKit. I am a backend dev myself, but this framework made me really get into UI development, just so much easier.

What do you mean by the cors restrictions? I am hosting the front end on the same domain as my backend (just like the lemmy UI) so there shouldn’t be any issues there.
