Dracula purple gang rise up!!!
Although it would be fun if people could make and share their own themes. That's probably a nightmare to program, but it would be neat!

How utterly depressing.
Does the Fediverse have a similar feature, where communities/magazines can be private and only allow users to view/subscribe to them with mod approval?
I know this is possible with instances, but that seems impractical since the account would be defederated from the entire Fediverse to maintain privacy.
This is exactly what I think. We might see a fraction of a spike from the few holding out until the very end, but it won't be this mass exodus people keep proclaiming it to be.
Apollo has published many blatant warnings to the app about the shutdown, you literally can't use the app without seeing them. Nobody using Apollo is going to be surprised at being cut off.
I assume the other apps are doing something similar to warn their users.
Those who care are already finding their way over here. Those who don't care are using the Reddit app. Those who are somehow still ignorant of what's happening probably don't use Reddit enough to know the difference.
Maybe more of a sunk cost fallacy? They've invested hours of labor in maintaining their community, to suddenly give that up and let some bootlicker take over feels like admitting all that work was for nothing.
That kind of dedication would be welcome over here though! I hope they find their way here.
I wish I could upvote this response a hundred times. 🤣🤣🤣
Honestly the speed at which you create and implement and fix these things is incredible - and mildly alarming. Do you sleep? Is your blood at least 10% caffeine by now?
ARE YOU A ROBOT IN DISGUISE???
But for real, thank you for all you do and a huge kudos for how freakishly efficient you are. 😄
For me it's not about the immediate abilities to use Reddit/Lemmy, is about my projected ability.
Yeah the Reddit app sucks and it's slightly better than the iOS apps for Lemmy... for now.
Reddit has had years to improve their app and has not made much, if any effort to do so.
Meanwhile I've had two updates today to my beta iOS app for Lemmy, fixing bugs before I've even had a chance to find them and enabling new features literally every day.
The future only looks promising for one of these platforms, and that's why I'd rather weather Lemmy's growing pains instead of endure Reddit's stagnant state.
That depends heavily on what you plan on serving them with. If it's being served with something that would pair with a cooked and softly charred onion, hell yes.
If you're just planning on eating a whole grilled onion by itself though, you're off your rocker.
I also couldn't upload images directly, with the same token error. I finagled a workaround by putting the image on imgur and embedding it (remove the * to make the syntax work):

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
It was an assigned reading in 11th grade. When I finally finished it, I remember feeling like my skin was crawling, and my thoughts were a jumbled mess - I was questioning everything, how I viewed others and how they viewed me, was it right or wrong, how would I have behaved in those situations...
I remember l just staring out my bedroom window into the pitch black night for an hour just digesting it all. I also remember sleeping with the lights on because I was a little creeped out.
Being an impressionable teen probably helped, but that book left a profound impact on my way of thinking about how I interact with the world and the people in it.
It was also my gateway book to classic literature and how good it can actually be!
This isn't going to happen in the future.
It's happening right now.
Bots are already engaging with users and pushing narratives. The percentage of Reddit that is inorganic is probably higher than most people would expect.
