Oh no way. Going to have to use this

Somehow it takes 4 seconds to un-collapse a toplevel comment in Chrome. E.g. this one: https://teddit.net/r/Bossfight/comments/k6vh5v/bearers_of_th... Pages also seem to take around 10 seconds to do the initial render. No server problem, just rendering. So if you do use this, I guess don't overdo it. :) Or at least profile. I use a 2015 MBP potato laptop. I guess my perf problems aren't really relevant. But it handle…

Working around Chrome's bugs just disincentivizes Google from fixing them.

Dev here. This is a known issue. https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit/issues/24 So far I haven't come up with any solution. The nested .comment styles seemed not be the problem. Although something in the CSS triggers the slow rendering on Chromium based browsers – not sure yet what. If any of you have an idea, leave a comment here or in Teddit, appreciated! EDIT: Oh, forgot to say: Works fine in Firefox, no rendering i…

Any reason not to use flex instead of float?

Habits. Haven't updated my CSS skills as much as I would've wanted along the years. I'm mostly writing CSS like it's year 2010.

I agree, your experience on Reddit will depend heavily on the subreddits you read. I'm somewhat active on niche programming topics, and people are usually helpful and respectful. I like that on Reddit I can stay in my bubble and not worry about the world's every single problem when I just want to relax. On Twitter, that's impossible. No matter how strictly you curate your feed, at least 1 in every 10 tweets will be s…

However, I noticed the tone changed everywhere somewhat. I think I witness the pandemic's toll on people's capacity for empathy by the impulsive rudeness creeping into every niche subreddit I frequent. Reddit became a shit show with Trump vs Clinton, but now people attack their own for every little sign of life. We really need a better social network. Twitter, Reddit, HN, Facebook, ... They add little, but break a lo…

Best social network is in person. Get off the keyboard.

matrix is for live chat. you want saidit which is an open source fork of reddit's open source code that stopped in 2017.

Well these days Lemmy is the hot new reddit alternative, based on activitypub. I would think that's what people wanting a reddit alternative should look at.

There's also Raddle: https://raddle.me

Wait, I just realized after 15 minutes browsing this website that I'm not using VPN. Reddit is blocked in my country, so Teddit will be the replacement for me. I like browsing Reddit without an account, just to read something. But I don't want to install their super big mobile app (1GB+), and I hate their lagging and weird website on mobile.

1GB how? I see 112MB in the App Store...

"... no javascript." This is why I hang around on HN. Only place I know where I can find other people who agree that today's use of Javascript, 9 times out of 10, amounts to a nusiance. The show/hide design pattern is annoying, IMO. Should be an accessibility violation; cannot tab through it. I guess thats why I use a text-only browser. Avoids all the Javscript nonsense, not to mention the next CSS trick du jour.

>The show/hide design pattern is annoying, IMO. Hmmh, I don't know how to make it better. It's really challenging to do it without JS in the first place. Do you have any ideas?

The way I work around this, if I am stuck using a Javscript-enabled browser, is to just view the source of the page.

The information (content) is right there, in the page. I would say there is nothing to fix. It is just the Javascript getting in the way.

That's nice! But I've been using CSS for 2 decades, how did I not know this?!

It was not possible 2 decades ago; :checked selector was implemented in IE 9.

Hehe, I know CSS used to be a lot more basic than it is now, my point was simply that I've been working with CSS for a long time but had somehow missed this nugget.

If you're looking for a low-cruft, minimalist alternative to Reddit or Twitter that's focused on live conversation, check out https://sqwok.im Disclaimer I am building it.

"Loading more posts", i.e. no pager/paging. That is not good. How do I go back to where I left off (easily)? I do not like infinite scrolling for many reasons. This being one of them.
