I tried using the site and used it for a while, for what little non political and non flame war content it had. It got boring.
I don't particularly like some of the UX decisions and features, but overall it is a pretty well built piece of software.
I don't believe ruqqus federates, so "instance" would be the wrong word. It's a standalone server.
- Joseph-Stalin 5y agoThe use of the term "instance" to describe a deployed instance of software predates federated software like mastodon.
- cabalamat 5y agoIf you're interested in a federated Reddit clone, check out Lemmy: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy
- betwixthewires 5y agoI'm very familiar with Lemmy, I had contributed to it a bit in it's early development. I like it, but in particular I think some UX design that apply to reddit and any other centralized link aggregator don't make sense in a federated system, multi communities on one server are fine but the way they're implemented in Lemmy is too Reddit like to be fully useful in a federated network.
