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?

      I would say take a moment to think through the site design philosophy and focus on clarity instead of rushing to add features, since I feel that kbin is trying to do more, but it is still rather confusing to navigate.

      Also, don’t burn yourself out.

        I don’t understand how you find kbin confusing to navigate while also browsing on Lemmy, which has such an obtuse layout. If you’ve used Reddit before, surely you should understand to navigate kbin as well?

      I for one like the added features. Collapsible comments and new comment markers especially (although not the best visual representation maybe). There’s lots of little quality of life things that are still missing. Foe example I would love to see a better handling of comment pages. Having to navigate through the pages is annoying, especially if you get a comment reply notification and it just sends you to the first page, without any indication on which page your comment and the reply is sitting at.
