It also finally brings an option to mute the startup beep!
Looks good, but as far as I can tell there's no option to keep your data offline only.
After using old.reddit for ~15 years (of course back then it was called just reddit) I have to say I don't miss it one bit. It had so many issues, but was still infinitely better than the abomination they came up with to replace it so I stuck with it. While far from perfect, I much prefer Lemmy's UI.
With that said, having the option is great. I'm sure it'll help a lot of people with the transition.
~~I'm also going to wait a bit before updating (for the first time in a very long time) mostly because of the docker downgrade. Don't have a whole lot of time to tinker with stuff right now in case something breaks. 6.12.1 is also running smooth on my machine so I'm not really in a rush.~~
Edit: nvm, upgraded. All good.
I still receive PMs every once in a while from random people on Reddit thanking me for comments that I've posted years ago. Those comments have less than 20 karma combined. I also have a comment saying "Nice." which contributes nothing and is sitting at almost 3000. Karma is meaningless.
Corporate vehicle, borrowed car from a friend/family member, rent-a-car, etc.
The smaller communities for specific interests (music genres, hobbies, etc).
Reviews and opinions. With Google results becoming worse by the hour, fake reviews flooding Amazon, paid reviews in almost every site/blog, when I'm about to purchase something I'm not 100% sure about I just search reddit to see what actual people are saying about it.
And last but not least - mostly sane discussions for news/articles with nested comments and a voting system. Lemmy already offers everything needed for that, what remains to be seen is how the community develops and grows.
Haha well then it's a good thing they're only giving an option to turn if off and not removing it completely :)
Personally I don't mind it as much as other people but it just feels kinda cheap. The beep makes me think of a microwave or a dishwasher, not a gaming console.
