    I wouldn’t.

    That website is confusing to the average user and makes no sense. Linking directly to an instance, doesn’t matter which, gives them a familiar UI to Reddit, and allows them to click “sign up” without issue. From there they can learn about instances and join a different one.

    join-lemmy.org is confusing, and makes it seem like it’s some software you download to the average user.


  • I have no idea. I didn’t even know they had these until people were suggesting we move to discord from Reddit a couple months ago.

    I use discord the same as you. Hop in a voice chat with friends and then close discord. I’ve never used it for anything other than a bloated ass voice chat client lol

    Edit: didn’t realize you were a different person. I use discord the same as the other guy I replied to.

    Oh that’s really annoying. All of the obvious hate for the official app aside, why would Reddit think it’s okay to take content and plaster a banner on it? I imagine people who uploaded nudes or original art were pissed.



  • I used Boost until Reddit shut it down, and I must say, that has not been my experience.

    Reddit is a shell of what it was before. /r/All and /r/Popular showed absolutely nothing. The most random subreddits would pop up, and have like 200 upvotes. The front page was so boring and blank.

    When subs started coming back, they limited posts, so you’d get like 1 post per day instead of 50-100. Some subs turned into posting memes only, or pics of only one thing/person.

    Reddit was absolutely harmed in this. I was already preparing to leave, but Reddit actually became really boring and useless that last month to the point where I rarely opened the app.
