I've been noticing myself that sorting by active or hot just gives me days old posts, so I've been sorting by new but it's not a great experience. this should be a pretty good middle ground.

Not sure what's happening with the ranking algorithm, but it seems like the default main page is still displaying the same set of popular posts from a few days ago.

But if you switch to sorting by "Top Day," it'll show fresh popular posts from the past day.

The difference between e-ink and digital screens is massive. I'm not sure how they'll be able to make e-ink look good in these glasses though

lol but that's one of the benefits. You ever try to lay down and read? Shit is uncomfortable. With one of these you could just lie on your back on your bed which would be an awesome experience imo

ebooks and e comics in VR is an awesome concept really. I like to read ebooks on my tv cast from my ipad because it's really comfortable to not have to hold anything or really use your hands until you want to swipe to the next page. I think manga and comic lovers especially will benefit from something like this. Also it's really nerdy but it would be kinda dope to hear the page turning as though you have a physical book in front of you.

Plus with the eye tracking stuff you wouldn't even have to use your hands to turn the page. it could all be done for you. It seems contradictory but ebooks/comics and VR have some amazing potential together

I'm certain some awesome apps will come along, the openness of the fediverse makes it an excellent opportunity for whomever decides to put in the work

 

It took me probably less than a month to completely stop checking Digg altogether. Reddit's decidedly less slick interface had me confused and the content wasn't as easy to digest as with Digg, but it didn't take long to completely abandon it. That was like ten years ago.

I guess a small point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't feel "shame" for checking reddit. You'll adjust and learn to love whichever alternative you choose

Like the antiwork fiasco. I remember the astroturfing going on where they tried to move people over to "work reform" aka we like work and bosses are good!

expert posters that would write 2 intelligent pages on a subject.

Basically the main thing I'm looking for in my replacement tbh.

Maybe they're doing "server maintenance" for the next 48 hours so the blackout seems like it was just planned maintenance lmao
