  • Oh i wouldnt say its worse at all. I prefer nested replies all the way. Regardless, i still wouldnt say lemmy fits the forum format, again due to the way you access the most recent replies.

    In a forum thread, you go to the last page and youve found the latest comment. In a Lemmy post, even if the nested comments arent hidden, its not obvious at first glance which one is the latest comment.

    Also, if you “bookmark” a forum thread, youll get notified of any new replies in said thread. On Lemmy, you can check the latest comments from an entire instance or community. But not for a specific post.

    Again, id never phrase lemmys format as worse, for i greatly prefer it. But i wouldnt consider it a forum. It simply displays the information diferently











  • About the linux distros bit, correct me if im wrong: If we add up all personal use cases, we get a number hihger than 100%. Same thing with professional use cases. That means users didnt choose just one option in the survey, but multiple. So adding up all distros will give us an inflated number, where there could easily be duplicates (e.g. someone chose both ubuntu and arch. That should be one vote for linux instead of two).
