For those unfamiliar, Discuit is another Reddit alternative that’s been floating around for a while. I was unable to find a MAU count, but I am honestly more interested in their software than their communities. Particularly curious what you all think of this stack. A consistent complaint around Lemmy is that a Rust backend makes contribution difficult, will a Go backend contribute to a lower overall barrier of entry?
Its website is looking good.
Seriously asking, not being snarky, but that looks good? It’s just a clone of new.reddit and every other SNS layout of the past 20 years.
Honestly, I think it looks substantially cleaner than the new reddit. Also, a lot more performant, which goes a long way towards the overall vibe of the UI.
Do you know about https://phtn.app/, the alternative frontend for Lemmy?
Yeah, the only reason I’m still dabbling in Reddit is because they still have old.Reddit. As soon as Reddit goes to new.Reddit-only, I’m gone for good. I hate that UI.
Lots of people seem to like it, though, so I guess more power to them if they want to use it. One of the great advantages of the Fediverse is not having gatekeeping on the interface.
