Crocs are old news. We’re all about those big red boots now!

This is honestly not a bad idea.

I’m not sure about mods, but if the game is modable, it gives you a year for all that to be created and your experience is going to be way better.

Holy shit balls.

Mastodon is perfect for this type of thing as well. They have full control over the instance. They can restrict sign-ups so that official accounts are easily verifiable. It’s a terrific idea.

This is the kind of thing that could help Mastodon really take off. The only reason most people still look at Twitter is for updates from official sources.

It’s kinda funny because both sides have a skewed view of the other. I see apple users as less tech-savvy and generally more of the “general” population (see: normies).

Google made a huge mistake shutting down Google+. If they had built it out to integrate with Youtube, where people could have a space to Tweet, have a Main Page feed like Facebook, and post videos all in the same platform, they would have dominated the market.

I still have a hard time believing that no-one has created a platform that encompasses all of those things. Meta is doing it piece-meal but it’s all disorganized. It should be one unified platform.

That’s why I hope some developers start working on a way to integrate Lemmy and Mastodon and like… PeerTube together into a single frontend. I’d love to be able to manage my Mastodon posts and BS on Lemmy in the same website.

I think one of the major issues is how poorly we’re doing at directing people to individual instances.

Lemmy works fine if we have a bunch of good / stable instances created for a variety of different topics and users spread out. All the kinks and things do need to be worked out, but at the same time there needs to be a better way of load-balancing people to different instances. Either that or the entire backend needs to be re-written to allow better load-balancing. I can’t imagine lemmy.world can survive another major influx of users.

We’re just a small small portion of the reddit userbase. Lemmy will explode if there’s ever a mass migration.
