Sorry, the tomato's got to stay in the burger, it's part of the artistic process.

I think a lot of us have been there before, it's part of the learning process. Jimmy will find his way.

Unfortunate but predictable. Reddit and u/spez have decided that third-party apps are going to die, and nothing is going to stop them. The "talks" they were offering to interested devs were always just a show, as this clearly demonstrates.

Just to be clear, I don't mean to sound hopeless. There are things you can do that make life feel meaningful and to allow you to enjoy your time, I just mean that life can be tiring.

Nah, I think that starts happening when you first get a job. Jobs take longer than school and generally are more labor intensive, and there's also the commute, and when you get home you have to do chores and either make healthy food or eat something garbage for your body, and that's just as a single person or a couple. It's no wonder everyone's tired, the 9-5 grind can be really exhausting, and when you're tired anything that takes effort feels like a grind.

I'm looking forward to seeing the final result, seeing so many of the third party apps moving to Lemmy has been really inspiring.

You're absolutely correct. It would need to be done manually and I understand people not wanting to put that effort in, I just feel bad about the information being lost.

Indeed. So many problems are fixable too, to the point where users have patches for hundreds of the game bugs by just modifying attributes and using the game engines scripting. It's honestly unexcusable, they can do better than this.

Indeed. I at least think they should repost the helpful information here to Lemmy so that users still have access to it, I understand driving traffic away from Reddit but we should keep that useful information open to the community.

Oh yeah, the search on Discord is abysmal. Especially considering that you can't use Google to help, Reddit at least was public facing so Google searches would often find Reddit posts.

[–] TheSaneWriter@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Indeed. Right now Voyager and Thunder are my two favorite ways to browse Lemmy.

Discord isn't a good alternative, it's not the same type of social media site. Discord is more of a chatroom aggregator, while Reddit is more of a forum aggregator. While Reddit technically supports chats and Discord technically supports threads, in both cases they're clunky and not the main point of the site.
