Unlike old reddit, this site requires JS to function.
For starters, individual posts in the Explore view[0] are wayyyy too big, while not providing much information at all. Look at the Comments button, for instance: why is that on a separate line?
After 5 minutes of experimentation, I was able to condense the post item down to the following: https://i.imgur.com/KthkpPQ.png While it does have some kinks, it looks much better and presents a greater amount of information in about 30% less space. Low-hanging fruit, I'd say.
As the site grows we'll add more actions most likely, and those will end up on that line.
We're always open for suggestions and PRs - but yours is already a valuable comment. Thanks!
the people who care about sites running without js also don't contribute to revenue either.
like genuinely i don't think there's a more miserable crowd to support, with stronger preferences.
* Don't like to pay for anything
* overly privacy conscious and minimalistic
* highly opinionated, vocal and demanding in ways that probably won't help the mainstream (eg want high customisablity)
* high levels of autism mean they focus on irrelevant minutae, often perfectionistic. low appreciation of aesthetics
* accept things that are broken/way too difficult to use for non technical people
* dismissive of things that are easy if they could build them as well
Etc, etc
You could use activity pub to handle a “personal front page” that includes stuff from other instances per user.
Maybe a bit naieve but that’s basically what I’d want at this point. Maybe I just want ye olde hyper-focused forums?
