Just making sure I’m in the right place. I cannot see any developed communities here so I’ve started wondering, what’s the real place everyone from Reddit has moved to? I’ve heard something about Discuit, but never tried it.

Lots are here. I joined a while ago on a different server and the content was slow. But by now it’s like always fresh content.
I can tell you the traffic rose up.
A few months ago, there were quite some people urging everyone to actively post and comment, to make the communities more lively and engaging.
I always remind myself to do this… Interesting post but no comments? Just add the first comment and a conversation will start - for me at least, there was always somebody commenting.
Yup. We have to be the content we want to see.
Does that also apply to porn consumers?
PLEASE GOD NO
Nah we upvote that shit and stay silent, 300 upvotes and zero comments
Why else would smutty fanart/fanfic exist? 😏
I really try to make an effort to contribute. I sometimes still find it a bit uncomfortable - i remember the harsh ways people got called out/downvoted/got incredibly unkind replies on reddit-, but i try to do it anyway, if i feel i have something to contribute/something kind to say/have a question
Got ya. You can’t make people always agree with you. Sometimes your opinion is just unpopular. But it is important to speak with each other in a proper manner. Maybe we learn from each other.
Never go the way of people pleasing. Be kind and you will receive it.
I do this all the time. Even if my comment isn’t substantial it lowers the barrier to entry for others.
It’s also nice to leave a comment somewhere and not get drowned out in the noise. It’s like you’re actually being heard by actual human beings or something. It’s a refreshing sensation.
I am no longer a Reddit refugee, I am a Lemmy citizen!
Feel you. This is my home now.
You need to go to the immigration office
Same I still haven’t found an app that scratches the itch like baconreader did but a lot of these communities have finally found a strong footing
I decided to make my own, I’ve had to switch to paying things, but I’m going to get started back on Luna soon. If you’re willing to give me feedback and describe in great detail what you want, chances are it’ll get added into the next version
Thanks, I’m sure there are other things I can’t quite articulate because you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone problem, but here’s two that stick out for me. I miss sorting by controversial it’s interesting to see where the polarizing conversations are happening. On an interface side, there was a way to swipe towards the top of the post to switch to the next post on whatever page was populating posts so for example I were on the front page and see posts 1, 2, and 3 if I opened post 2 all of the comments would populate underneath it if I scrolled down into the comments I could swipe right at varying degrees to upvote and downvote or swipe left to reply, report, etc but if I ever drag right to left from the head of the post it would shift over from post 2 to post 3 or left to right to shift over to post 1 it made it really easy to see larger pictures, post details, and if there’s much activity while still being able to navigate through the communities without losing my place because of refreshing or scrolling back up when I go back to the community page, homepage, etc. I hope that helps. Thanks for the effort let me know when your app goes online.
So honestly I hate the comment swiping interface, I know what you’re talking about though. I’ll put it on the list for an option but it’s going to be low since I find it to be bad UX - to me, swiping should be to change something on your screen.
The swiping between posts sounds like a great idea though, that’ll almost definitely be in the next version
And sorting? Custom sorts and feeds are like my main design goal, that’ll definitely be in there
The other thing is saving your place - that was my biggest complaint personally. You can already click on anything to see more about it and go back without losing your place
You can even change accounts or sorting methods and go back to where you were - I’m playing with making that more intuitive though, I disabled it for the current version because it was awkward
I’ll save your post and ping you for the next big update
Thanks and good luck
globally, traffic actually went down. Somebody posted some data a while ago and it was very clear. I would not worry about it (I think to a certain extent it’s physiological), by still
Traffic or active users? Because I have a few accts I no longer use which would look like a loss of users but I’m still here.
You’re right, the stats I saw were not about traffic
