I don’t know what kind of engagement to expect, but I made a post encouraging Raddle users to come here. It appeared to be an exclusively leftist space and be an active forum.
Having styled this post as an AMA, I may be unprepared for some of their questions. I haven’t been on here very long, and may be fielding questions that are better directed to Lemmy devs or long-time users. I am happy to x-post questions and answers to their platform on your behalves
Shoutout to @Amorphous@lemmygrad.ml for giving me the idea in the chapo thread
I haven’t looked at your code, but it’s worth pointing out that Postmill is basic as shit and the UI is awful because the dev doesn’t care and there are almost no Postmill instances other than Raddle because the dev is a chud who doesn’t take feature requests. (The dev set up their own instance which was down as of checking… I found exactly one Postmill instance that was not raddle which is up in 2020)
DOS is faster than Windows 10 but that doesn’t mean DOS is better than Windows 10, and also Lemmy is still under development. I just checked the Github and you haven’t even reached a 1.0 release yet. I mean version numbers are entirely arbitrary, but the clear implication to me of being below a 1.0 release is that it’s obviously still under development. Suboptimal performance for software that’s in development isn’t grounds to say “lemmy is horrible.”
Postmill is an older and more well-established piece of software that aims to do far less than Lemmy. Of course it will be better tuned for performance.
It’s just anticommunist backbiting and concern trolling and nobody on this forum can expect good-faith engagement from Raddle.
