🦿 Lucian Marin in #subreply
I revamped all things related to groups and hashtags. Hashtag is a reference to a group. You can post and reply inside a group. I need to code a way to automatically create a group when you use a new hashtag. I think the best way to describe Subreply is having Twitter and Reddit in one social network.

☕ David Antoine I was wondering, maybe use a different symbol or two hashtags for a group... Wouldn't it be better to have groups separated from simple hashtags? If anything, to use simple hashtags for a trending option based on it for example (if Subreply explodes in popularity one day, hopefully)... Not sure though, that's a stupid idea maybe...

🦿 Lucian Marin X is now Facebook. Threads is filled with Instagram people who don't like to write. Basically, Subreply is the new Twitter.

🦿 Lucian Marin SubX.com is taken. No rebranding, but Twitter is gone.

🙂 Roy Threads has been making waves online. Yet another Twitter alternative on the long list of alternatives. Apparently, users can't delete their Threads account without nuking Instagram as well. i wonder if they've heard of Pixelfed

🤷 Rudi Watching the threads app launch with people posting jabs at twitter is pretty entertaining 😂

🦿 Lucian Marin I'm waiting for Meta alternative to Twitter and Mastodon. Bring it on!

🦿 Lucian Marin I can implement support for pictures, but the price will be $1 per picture.
😀 Tom I personally don't mind that price, but I have no pictures that I want to post. I like the text-only aspect of the site too. I feel like adding pictures might just make Subreply look more like Twitter or Facebook.

🦿 Lucian Marin Meta and Twitter charge users around $12 per month, not year and still serving you ads. That's insane. Everyone should move to Mastodon and Subreply.

👽 Paul Webb Does Subreply have image/video support?

🦿 Lucian Marin Mastodon is going really well (lapcatsoftware.com...), actually not. Twitter doesn't have third party apps anymore.

👽 Paul Webb What a mess. I'm using Mastodon via Ivory (same devs from Tweetbot) and it's a wonderful experience.

🤚🏻 Vivek Lucian, you need to market Subreply well because I think it has the potential to be a good alternative to Twitter.
😀 Tom I just use Subreply on my phone, and the user interface is more confusing that Twitter's. Subreply could have had a chance if Lucian changed it a while back when it was brought up by several users, but Lucian liked the way it was. I am curious if Subreply could scale though. I think the ship has sailed to Mastadon instances. At this point, Subreply would have to do something that Mastadon does not deliver on, that people want.

😀 Tom Subreply is not addicting, so I pretty much only visit when I feel like sharing something, and then I see if anyone else has shared anything. There is no doomscrolling. I kind of like the "anonymity" of it, rather than it just being for friends. I suppose that's what Twitter was like, but I never used it and the UI didn't make sense to me. Subreply's UX doesn't make sense to some people, me included, but that's okay (re: how threads are displayed).

👨‍💻 William Young This is something that really resonates with me. It's s paradoxical problem for someone making a social media of trying to make something that is healthy by not gamifying it, but at the same time generating a network effect by people returning frequently. A great example that has tried to find this balance is BeReal.

🧿 Dav Bell How to to back on the about page - from the mobile website pls edit: found it subreply.com/about edit2: why I can't reply to my message myself
😀 Tom explaned the reason a while back, I forget what he said. I wanted the feature, but I do like the fact that it prevents basically what you see on Twitter sometimes with 1/X posts.

☔ Johannes It really is hilariously terrible when logged out. On desktop I get absolutely barraged with garbage urging me to log in and accept them spying on me. I try to use Nitter and the like instead but that doesn't always work great, either, due to instances being down or simply missing content that's yet to be scraped.

🦿 Lucian Marin It's so weird how Elon running Twitter like a madman makes Subreply interesting. Even bots started to register new accounts. 🤯

🍰 Rémi Gillig Could you add 2FA as a priority or is that outside of possibilities? I love SR ;)

🤓 Simon Hamp Just found my login for here after losing it. Glad to have a more real place now that Twitter is heading down the tubes
🦿 Lucian Marin Now Elon wants to improve Twitter backend after he fired all remote backend developers. Twitter has become slow in some countries.
