Hey all, I am an avid BetterDiscord user. I have a OnePlus8t running Namelss13 custom rom (mentioning that for compatibility reasons) and looking for the smoothest, up-to-date, and best experience modified discord app with a sleek looking UI that has plugins & themes
I started out with Aliucord, but they don't seem to have it up to date super often (in terms of new features discord releases). Aside from that and I think having a few niche issues, it was a very smooth experience, they have a plugin repo directly through the app, in addition to themes, but themes also aren't supported on my own rom. Another reason I liked Aliucord was they have the tablet view by default, so the vertical separator is more narrow and space efficient. Their plugin repo selection is a LOT like betterdiscord, so much that it seems like some devs from there have worked on them
I wanted something more up-to-date and fresh looking, so I recently tried out Vendetta. Definitely checked both of those boxes, however, the navigation feels a bit more unresponsive for some reason. They have plugins and themes, but not through a repo - I have to look through their discord plugins channel, and it's sadly not nearly as broad as Aliucord. Vendetta by default doesn't have tablet mode enabled; there is a plugin, but it doesn't work consistently. This app also launches very slow for the initial startup if it wasn't in the background (for me)
Has anyone experienced a client that you would recommend over these two? Or is development not quite there (reaching my own personal expectations, at least), and these are still the best options? Just to note, the apps are well made - I just want more, so I know I'm probably asking for a lot :)
I'm trying to avoid using reddit at all, so trying to bring discussion here. Thanks in advance for suggestions or advice!
That's what I'm going to do I think. I understand the pain from removing comments that have and would have helped people, but reddit will continue to profit off of that information, which they absolutely do not fucking deserve. Those people that were helped, have already been helped. New users seeking information will have to search elsewhere
Something has to be done to the existing data in order to get more people away from the platform, and there is an absolute plethora of information so I don't even think the people doing this will have a large enough impact as we'd like (though, I could be wrong in estimating how many people are rewriting their comments). At least, future content creators have already moved away so a lot of "new" information shared on reddit will be on the decline, or less of an incline
If I've written any guides or posts that are helpful, I will repost it over here and edit the original post on reddit to remove the content and redirect them here which will also inform more people about the fediverse. The people who needed the help have already seen it, and anyone else seeking the information will hopefully be pulled away from reddit and to a better platform. There -has- to be a point at which people move away from reddit for information, so that other places like kbin can grow into a more suitable replacement with just as much, and eventually, more knowledge
