i don like them links. like - tell me what’s in the link, don’t just “rule” and put a link.
i believe that this is not a very lemmy thing to do. especially on mobile, where it leaves the app and opens some shiddy proprietary other social media platform in your browser.
EDIT: completely forgot to add picture. now it’s here!
Tap for spoiler
I feel you though
i never really understood what an “aggregator” is, so i just looked it up.
apparently it’s a thing which like - collects some data and then presents it on their page… which i guess is every social media platform… i dun get this
EDIT: weewoo i get it now u cn stop commenting >~<
that’s the original purpose of Reddit, someone posts a link to something they found interesting after they have “read it” :)
Also Digg for those who remember
wow that’s a memory that came from deep down ^^
not sure if i want to digg that deep
The way i would explain it is, that this platforms purpose is to provide a comment section for the articles and screenshots posted here. Voting is a secondary feature that allows it to be used for entertainment/news purposes by making high quality, important or funny posts more visible.
It’s when like, you grow food and stuff
but you’re a long low reptile
