Isn’t that the point of the whole communities structure though? That you have some common topic to talk about, rather than just exchanging small-talk?

For me, the people I’d talk to on Reddit were mostly internet strangers anyway, so my mindset is that this place is no different :) Different website, but still just fellow human beings at the end of the day.

But that’s not the main point you’re making. “YSK: upvoting content makes it more visible” wouldn’t be much of a post would it?

You’re trying by to dictate what people “should” or “shouldn’t” promote. That part isn’t objective, it’s conveying your own ideas. Which doesn’t fit the YSK community.

I feel like the floating keyboard will be analogous to the on-screen keyboard on game consoles – it works for the occasional couple of words or sentences, but for any sort of extensive use, you’re gonna want a hardware keyboard.

And honestly, that’s okay. It’s good that they’re open about the hand fatigue and admitting that this isn’t the solution to all-day typing.

I mean, at this point, it’s hard to disagree with this. Before the C-type ecosystem was fully established, there was maybe still room to make arguments for and against… but in this day and age, the transition from Lightning to C is a no-brainer really.

I admit however that I’ll miss the haptic feel of Lightning. Yes, a well made USB-C / Thunderbolt connector come pretty close, but even the best C-type plug has that an inherent “wonkiness” due to to the hollow ending and the springs inside. Still no comparison to Lightning, where the plug is a solid chunk of metal.

We’ve had three pets so far, and they’ve all had real but uncommon human names.

This sounds like something a robot pretending to be a human acting as a robot convincing you it’s human in an ironic, humorous way would say!

Think about it. Under each level of irony, there could always be another level of robot. (That includes me right now.)

The singularity isn’t “near” as people say, we’re already way past it. (In text-based communication anyway.)

Just as a side-note: Multireddits are not an Apollo feature, they are a part of Reddit itself since 2013. Although, Apollo did support them before the Redesign did (which calls them “Custom Feeds”) if I’m not mistaken.

YSK: this community is mainly for facts or guides. What you’ve posted is an opinion.

And this doesn’t just apply to their recommended news section, this is Google in general.

Googling for technical topics without appending the name of a forum website (like stackexchange, hacker news or that other one) has been a trash experience for years. Shovelware top to bottom.

I think it has potential to get there eventually. It already follows the similar design and usage philosophies, and I imagine the development could really take off now.

Keep in mind that Apollo has years of full-time development behind it, whereas Mlem is essentially an early beta of an open-source passion project.
