I noticed that lemmy.world and slrpnk.net host old.lemmy.world and old.slrpnk.net and I was wondering if there was any interest in doing that here. Personally, I think it meshes with the SDF vibe.
Edit: this would be in addition to regular Lemmy
Edit 2: it looks like they added it at old.lemmy.sdf.org. Thank you @[email protected]!
I’d also agree that something new, rather than a reddit clone would be preferable. I think that cloning an unethical, for-profit aggregator would be antithetical to promoting free, open software, knowledge, and creativity.
Additionally, I’ve never really been a fan of their layout - always seemed pretty clunky.
ETA: What about a plaintext/JSON frontend? That I could absolutely get behind both from the fact that I tend to live in the terminal and that it would likely be straightforward to implement in a manner that is compatible with screen readers and other assistive devices.
EDIT2: It looks like this is terminal friendly. I think I am changing my mind.
