I think he’s just waiting around to make a few more unpopular decisions, then be fired with a huge severance package just for them to present a shiny new CEO just before the IPO hits.
Yes, lemmy does not work for non-techy stuff. Sometimes I want to look up random stuff like getting the best sim plan for international travel or what are the best apps for tracking weight lifting workouts. That kind of stuff is not available if the mainstream is not here. And thus reddit is unfortunately still needed.
That is actually the one I have been using too! But I always keep searching for if there are better ones. Progression would be perfect if they added exercise images, since I am a visual person, and tend to forget how an exercise is done.
Would love to see the developer to move his discussion to Lemmy.
That’s not strictly true, now. I found a good fountain pen community, and a few for knitting and embroidery, among other analog interests. Not everything is here, but the non-tech stuff is starting to trickle in.
It’s frustrating when so often techy people produce something but don’t go the slight extra distance to anticipate the needs of normal people getting inducted into using the software. You see it all the time.
You can first build something you like using yourself, but at some point you should start holding it under the nose of various well-meaning not-so-techy people and watch how they try to use it.
tedd.it is not the only teddit instance, nor even one i knew, with the main one being teddit.net. that being said its heavily unusable in its current state without running your own personal instance to stay under the api limits codeberg.org/teddit/teddit … that being said, screw that noise, im here instead.
The shutdown notice you link to only concerns the tedd.it instance not teddit as a project. Of course the other instances face the same issues though, so these alternate reddit fronts will probably still take a huge hit in user interest and development or even wind down since spinning up your own instance is to much hassle for a lot of people.
Yup! I don’t speak for all of teddit, just my instance. Although many of the other hosts I talked to feel the same - at the end of the day, the API changes don’t leave us much of a choice. Public instances are practically impossible now.
Teddit and other alternative frontends were a perfect way to send someone a Reddit link when they didn’t have an account because the mobile web experience is just pure cancer.
Fast way to visit Reddit without an account. Light, customizable, etc.
If you were a Reddit user who posted and commented, then you would never need this frontend. It was one of the privacy-respecting frontends, like Nitter, Invidious, Bibliogram, Proxitok or Scribe.
Teddit went out in style with that message. Thank you dev, I used teddit often. Forgive me keeping the bookmark on my toolbar just for a few more days.
Nice presumption. I created two of them on lemmy. But engagement is low so far. That's the problem with niche communities. With one of them it look 5 years for enough subscribers to happen that there was regular content being posted by annoying other than me.
Why are you still here? For somebody who seems to have such a hard-on for Reddit, you've got more activity on Lemmy than half the other active accounts do. Find a hobby, my dude.
this is just one of the instances
there are many more instances according to farside.link (which is a thing that will automatically redirect you to one of them: farside.link/teddit/ ) so by using this, you help reduce the load on individual instance, resulting in less “too many requests” errors for everyone.
tedd.it
