Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Lemmy-UI is the "Windows" of Lemmy Clients (dubvee.org)

Comparisons:

Does most things; does none of them particularly well
Comes with the system
Most people think that's just how the platform is
Annoying bugs take forever to get fixed
Only wears 15 pieces of flair
Extremely annoying to use after using a better system for any amount of time

I've seen very few 3rd party clients that are not miles ahead of Lemmy-UI. Of those that weren't ahead of L-UI, most of them weren't even finished, so it's hardly a fair comparison.

If you're reading this on Lemmy-UI, you might want to check out https://lemmyapps.com/ and see what you've been missing. I'm not affiliated with that, it's just a good resource.

I like Alexandrite's 2-column view. I can browse on one tab without having to go back and forth between posts and feeds or opening posts in new tabs. It's fast and lightweight too. For me it's the only web UI option that actually enhances the browsing experience.
