Although I didn't use your app, Christian. The work you and other devs have done with your 3rd party apps for Reddit was outstanding. Good luck with whatever's over the next horizon!
Sorry things went sour with Reddit, and wish it could have been different.
I honestly don't disagree, nowhere else has the decade long history of gathering people who are interested in the nichest topics. But then they are complaining instead of doing something about it.
I keep saying it but this is more emotional than I would have thought. It's an end to an era. And RIF and the other apps helped us all connect, laugh, cry, vent, argue, meme and stuff together. The app devs were as much responsible for the success and entertainment of reddit as reddit itself. It's a weird.
This was the last push i needed to actually move on from reddit. Now i'll finally be able to retrain my muscle memory to open kbin instead of RIF when i sit on the toilet.
Yeahhh... Out of all those I tried, that was by far my favorite. So much so that I didn't even remember how unintuitive the regular website was til I had to shoot someone a quick message, fumbled uselessly through my chats, and realized I really had to google how to find my inbox on a site I've used every day for four years.
Despite his stated disinterest, there's apparently been talk about the dev re-releasing it for Lemmy instead and I can't tell if there's truth to that or not. The app store listing seems like some unnecessary work for just a placeholder.
......but I don't use lemmy, so I'll just have to see what Artemis is about.
I don't want to be "this guy", but what we have here is a screenshot of a Tweet post without even a link or a date. It's the best way to go back to the same old system that we have left behind us. This is whitepeopletwitter in a nutshell.
Edit, seriously it looks like you framed a "motivation speech". Just post the link to the text, don't screenshot a text, we cannot do anything with it. We have the tools now, use them
No. Look at the image again, we don't have the instance of the user.
also it's just a comment with someone's opinion. what is the issue exactly
It's a motivation speech. Add a parrot and you have an "advice animals". Have you not noticed how reddit became this repository of snapshot of Tweets and tiktioks? That's what you want?
I hear what you're saying, and I understand why it's generally a good idea to offer a permalink to the tweet/post/whatever.
That being said, there's been instances (especially with regards to certain politicians on Twitter) where having the screenshot has been paramount, as the original post gets deleted.
So we're left with a few choices as I see it:
Link the original post and be done with it. Risk of the original post being deleted, making your post useless.
Link a screenshot. You could add the link to the original post in the comments
Link an archive version. A great idea, but sets an expectation for the average user to have to copy the link to the post, go to the wayback machine, add a manual snapshot, then make a kbin/Lemmy/whatever post to the archived snapshot
But look at what we lose in the process of screenshooting a post:
We cannot write an answer to the OP
We have no follow-up of the conversation started by the original post
OP cannot edit his screenshot
OP cannot answer our discussion
OP doesn't even know that his post is discussed elsewhere
We have no connection with OP between our instance and his.
In short, we have lost all the advantages of the fediverse, for what? For the graphics, for the white on black background which reminds of Twitter. It's a terrible trade.
That being said, there's been instances (especially with regards to certain politicians on Twitter) where having the screenshot has been paramount, as the original post gets deleted.
Editing what you said is a right. You have the right to change your opinion. It's in fact a virtue. If you see something interesting in the comment, use the symbol and edit your post, and say that you changed your mind.
Link the original post and be done with it. Risk of the original post being deleted, making your post useless.
I like it. If you think you posted by mistake, if there was a misunderstanding or if you fucked up..... well, I think it's a good idea that the fediverse allows you to make things right.
Link a screenshot. You could add the link to the original post in the comments
Forget the screenshots. It's like using binary with git.
Just make it live, use the fediverse as it is supposed to be used and see where it leads us. We'll see how Ernest & Co can make something based on the fediverse which makes the process way more fluent and intuitive.
Without a date or any way to source the comment, it could be something from 2-3 years ago.
Obviously it's not in this case, but it's a very real issue on reddit (in fact there was a post recently) of people debating topics that were being reposted by bots from several years ago. Basically it lets people dredge up old, already talked about topics without bringing any recent relevance to the topic.
