I wish Flickr would focus on their mobile app. At the moment it's 99% pointless and does a really terrible job of everything it's supposed to do. It's easy to forget, and a lot of younger people probably have no idea in the first place, but Flickr was ground breaking back in the day and gave birth to most of what we now consider standard features for social media - even "Likes" were a Flickr first. I met some amazing people through the early Flickr days and hung with them in far flung places, it was a beautiful community. These days though, I don't feel any kind of community on there, it's just photo storage. Community and socialising online has moved to mobile, and Flickr didn't move with them.
- ramses0 5y agoFlickr started the trend of devowel-ing to get a "cool" domain, and was basically _the_ example API used for web development, along with a bias towards extremely high quality content (your lens must be this-$$$ to qualify). Then came the "upload 1000 vacation photos at a whack" people, and general mismanagement. It lost its brand value and cachet, and has been clunking along trying to recapture the magic. https://www.flickr.com/explore https://www.flickr.com/explore
