I installed some community made themes (like darkspace) just to play around and give users some options, but yeeeah... none of them are very good. Thankfully the admin team knows a bit of CSS from their redditing days so a theme improvement is definitely on the to do list.
If anyone wants to have a go at making one, be my guest, I'd be happy to add it to the options.
You're most welcome!
True, but following the instance directly can be a bit of a firehose of information since you get ALL posts and comments. We wanted to have a place to alert for scheduled maintenance, events, and stuff like that.
The world just isn't ready for us yet.
Not a bad idea for the future!
Thanks for the heads up, StarTrek.website has enabled CAPTCHA and purged the bots from our database.
We're aware thanks, something went wrong in the latest update, it'll be fixed soon.
Edit: fixed now
Yes it was, BUT OUR TIME IS FINALLY NEAR 🎶🎸
Lemmy seemed like an easier transition, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on the development of both.
The only perk we had in mind thus far was some user flair (whenever that inevitably gets invented). But you make a great point. Still getting used to this egalitarian perspective.
Your definition of "old pc" is much nicer than mine. No we're not there yet! But likely within the next few months. Lemmy.world recently made this post which you may find educational.
We're aware of the pact and will cross that bridge when (or if) it ever really happens. We're certainly no fans of Meta (or Reddit,or Twitter). So far it seems more likely to affect Mastodon than Lemmy/Kbin.
