Brent’s desk is actually the microservice holding everything together. Don’t shake the cables when you sit down or you’ll risk crashing the whole website.
It’s pulled, and it’s fine, but there’s clearly a balance between “octopus merges are fine” and “Christ, that’s not an octopus, that’s a Cthulhu merge”.
I understand needing to simplify the definition of these terms for the laypeople, but this was the best they could do? It seems they could not even bother with checking for misspellings.
This seems like as good a thread as any to make my first post in as a Lemmy user. I’ve been on Reddit since '09, and was on slashdot back in the 90’s. I really am hoping that these new, federated services take off. Onboarding still seems like the biggest hurdle.
After onboarding the interface is kind of rough to figure out. Mostly because the mobile web version isn’t that great, and jerboa also isn’t that great, and they’re different enough that switching back and forth gets you confused. With reddit’s problems, I imagine we’ll see some more client apps and ui improvements show up in the next couple months with the added attention, and that’ll be the end of that. Honestly, I thought it’d be rougher. I do wish I got more replies to my comments though, so i’m trying to make a point to post a bit more than I ordinarily would.
The desktop web interface seems pretty similar to old reddit/rif so I haven’t had that much difficulty with browsing. The fact that I’ll be losing my niche subs is the hardest part of moving entirely to Lemmy though.
