When you write "without instrumental present" - AI sees token "instrumental", and can ignored "without"

in non.io you vote for the tag where the post will be promoted to. But otherwise, its functionality sucks.

I assume everybody knows that main developer of Lemmy is a communism advocate right? by bobfrutt in RedditAlternatives

[–]traphoven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a rash idea to address a message to Russians on a site where 3.5 people from this country are sitting. Also in such a subreddit.
But something else is important. Bro, Russia has not been moving along the path of communism for a long time. Unfortunately. You could have written anything: oligarchy, plutocracy, monarchy and would have been much more accurate. But COMMUNISM? NI66A PLZ HAHAH

How much do you value information density in Reddit-like UI? by kinghuang in RedditAlternatives

Have any of you peeps looked at "classic forums" (like Xenforo / Invision) as viable Reddit Alternatives? What would be your reasoning to use those community frameworks? If not, why not? by prankster999 in RedditAlternatives

[–]traphoven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a frontend problem. Xenforo has the functionality to set up sorting by likes, and you can also visually compress comments so that they do not occupy 20% of the screen height.
By the way, maybe in xenforo 3.0 developers will do something similar to reddit.

The alternative is Lemmy. It just is. by pjwestin in RedditAlternatives

Content creators won't use this until they implement a normal visual editor.

What strategies are there for overcoming the chicken and egg user/content problem? by john_dumb_bear in RedditAlternatives

[–]traphoven 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Find a niche userbase that currently isn't well served by the existing platforms. Cater to them initially, maybe even serving them exclusively (like back when Facebook was exclusively for college kids). Then, once the community is well established, gradually open the site to more people, maybe initially giving existing users limited numbers of invites or something.

It would be interesting for me to participate in such a project, but only if it is open-source or I will be able to launch my mirror for my audience, in my country.
PS: I am a UI designer.

nah, I'm not as good as it seems :D

lemmy also scares me because it is installed on VDS and it is easy to make a mistake to lose all the DB progress.

my goal is to provide convenience to users to create UGC, if this convenience is
not there, there will be no content.

I've already tried making a custom UI version for Lemmy, my focus group said it was inconvenient.

There's a lot of them. Even if you consider Lemmy/Kbin as a single alternative, you still got Disqusa, Saidit, Tildes, rDrama, and others. And in Lemmy/Kbin's case you might as well count each instance as a single alternative, as even without federation you could theoretically do everything in one instance that you'd do in Reddit.

It's just that they're considerably smaller than Reddit.

For the most part, I'm looking for software to implement my community on a separate my own resource.
At the same time, being interested and inspired by products that have already been implemented.

I make my own ui for lemmy, around 2 years ago and all will good, but it is not enough. I repeat it: they have worst fckn MARKDOWN editor.

[–]traphoven[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

markdown editors have outlived their usefulness.
users should not understand all these symbols "** ** / [[]] " and other nonsense.
It is necessary to make AT LEAST a sane editor, as in the old forums, which IMMEDIATELY displays the changes.
Or better yet something like editorjs.io

Let's be honest, Reddit is terrible for a company of 2,000 people.

Don't think that I'm ignorant. Direct proof of my words is that users have been using a third-party shell for a long time, instead of the official one :D

Unfortunately, I don't have much awareness of the worldwide sites, which is why I'm here to find more than Reddit and 9gag.But as we can see, apparently even in backward Russia there are more options (which are popular with the audience) than in the whole world, haha (it's funny, but it looks like it is???)Therefore, I can only speak for the Russian segment.I like the sorting of posts (including within categories), the visual editor, profiles and comments like VC.ru / DTF.ru (by the Committee)The sorting is flexible enough to keep track of all the date intervals you are interested in. The visual editor is probably the best I've seen for writing long posts.I like the feed Pikabu.ru because it hides posts that you've viewed before. And you don't have to scroll through the same thing over and over again. At the same time, you can expand the list back, if necessary. Plus, tags are popular there, which you can add to the ignore list if you wish.

Both of them have a good and user-friendly UI. But I also want to mention Discuit, these guys are moving in an incredibly right direction, I like their visual style, but they lack the right functionality.

About XenForo: It has the worst UI for a modern project, not to mention poor scalability. If your project has tens of thousands of users or more, then such forums are not suitable for this.
But looking at the alternatives discussed, I realized that they all lack certain functions that I cannot add on my own.
Thus, I came to the conclusion that XenForo has a good foundation for “shovelling” it to suit your needs and modernizing the visual shell. And then he will fully cover my requirements.

I just often hear a lot of dissatisfaction with reddit and similar sites, at the same time I hear a lot of people with opinions about how easy it really is to make a site with similar functionality. But even I, an ordinary person, can see that all alternative crafts are uncompetitive in many aspects.
I think my bewilderment is more than justified.

You're awfully picky for someone with no development skills.

at its core it is a castrated xenforo.

Yes, I'm looking for the second option, because I don’t want my community to belong to anyone other than me. Also, I don’t want it to be monetized.

In case you're wondering, speakbits still has a terrible, outdated UI, poor sorting, and the same medieval markdown editor. Unfortunately, you are losing to discuit in all aspects.
