  • Immediately scrolls down to the comment section. I’ve been spoiled by content just automatically loading, but I saw the “Load Lemmy” button. Tres chic.

    It would be cool if there was a raised question mark button to the right for the load button, that on mouse over or click shows a tooltip explaining shortly what Lemmy is, as well as directly telling the user what community and instance the comments hail from - even before loading the content.

    A standard tooltip for that purpose would be kind of nice.


  • Because it doesn’t matter? It’s the old “a president I’d like to have a beer with” problem.

    You can pretend as much as you’d like that the democratic process is tethered to rationale, but at the end of the day the whole system is set up to be a dog and pony show.

    It’s always been a glorified popularity contest and has nothing to do with meritocracy, i.e judging cases upon the merits and demerits.

    The problem imho is usability. The system has been shaped to be a popularity contest, but it could very well be shaped into something else.
