As cool as the technology is behind nostr the current community is absolutely terrifying. Hopefully it can grow out of that.

Just the frontend then I guess? Are you on mobile?

Looks like it’s been taken down

Very possible, but also we are far less obligated to always have capital H HOT content here on the fediverse. Maybe interacting with old content isn’t so bad?

Also new comments is pretty good.

The other really interesting thing is what happens when you get them talking to each other. They show similarly fascinating emergent properties.

Found out today PeerTube channels can be understood as a Lemmy community. Try this [email protected]. Comments are even available from the PeerTube side.

I think a really important thing to consider here is how much of Reddit’s culture was a result of bots and dark patterns. I think people will actually adjust fairly quickly and once sign ups start to settle a sort of diffuse equilibrium of cultures and attitudes will form that will generally look very different from Reddit. All that said, I think the foundational culture that we establish now will prove to be incredibly important. I think this is a great argument for why existing communities may choose to stay in the medium-weight class. Thereby avoiding the growth boost that comes from being the largest community.

EDIT: Also important to note, I feel like this is gonna be a slow, slow process. We really have no idea when sign-ups will settle and could be looking at months or days of Reddit hemorrhaging users. I think we’ll have a better idea after things kick off on the 30th.
