minus-squareBoiglenoight@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up46·1 year agoJust call them “clips.” /s Seriously though, the aesthetic of Kbin is its best feature, but the concept behind the threads seems. I dunno. Weird. Lemmy feels janky and basic, like old Reddit. 💗
minus-squarejtk@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up35·1 year agoComing off years of old.reddit.com, Lemmy felt like major bloat :) I’m used to it now though, definitely nothing compared to regular Reddit. And, yeah, the jank is 💗
minus-squareTheLoneBeatle@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up38·1 year agoJust a heads up, https://old.Lemmy.world now exists! (It should feel much better!) Also, if you used Apollo for Reddit, Voyager (https://vger.app) exists for Lemmy and it feels right at home!
minus-square𝕽𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖎𝖊𝖘𝖙@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·edit-21 year agoThere’s also a Voyager frontend hosted on lemmy.world: m.lemmy.world
minus-squarePandantic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoAlso for Apollo users, the Memmy app is very close!
minus-squareLucidNightmare@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoThere is also Arctic by CreatureSurvive being worked on which looks promising. I just want my Apollo experience again. 😭
minus-squareGonzoVeritas@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoOld Lemmy is the best thing I’ve seen in a while. I found it last week, and it’s absolutely cured my Reddit cravings.
minus-squaremoistclump@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoAlso for Apollo users… wefwef. I added the web app to my Home Screen and it feels like nothings changed.
minus-squareBadoker@lemmy.nzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·1 year agoWefwef and Voyager are the same app, they renamed it.
minus-squaremoistclump@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoOh yeh! And now you mention it, I remember that naming conversation. Well now I feel silly.
minus-squareKayn@dormi.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoI’d argue that kbin’s UI is no longer a standout feature. Beautiful custom frontends for Lemmy like Alexandrite have been popping up left and right.
minus-squarethoro@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoKbin’s UI reminds me of old Digg. I prefer Lemmy’s.
minus-squaredecadentrebel@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoThis looks cool but not my cup of tea. Any other custom frontends we should know about?
minus-squaregarretble@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoIf it helps at all, the Alexandrite settings let you change the colors.
