- andrewzah 5y agoThis is not really an alternative to reddit. I don't care about online users, and part of the point of using reddit is comment chains. Having a linear chat breaks that. There have been numerous reddit clones. But the main issue is the lack of a community. People who like reddit... still use reddit for the most part. It'll take something like reddit killing the old ux to finally force enough people to move to an alternative such that a good, sizable community is formed.

- no_time 5y agoNo offense but this feels like nu-reddit but not fully realized yet. -Javascript ridden mess to display text. Loading spinners left right and center. I bet you can display text in rows without executing more than 2 megabytes of javascript. -Dark patterns like infinite scrolling -Chat style discussions are a fertile ground for low quality messages I'm jaded enough not to expect better by now but I think these are still worth mentioning if you are comparing yourself against nu-reddit.
