I kept getting annoyed with lemmy clients being confusing, hard to navigate, or just plain ugly. So I did my best to create a web app that now I use every day. It kind of works like Tinder, you swipe right to up vote, left to down vote, and swipe down to just mark as read. I actually designed it that way because I did a hell of a lot of research on different theories as to how we should treat voting sites like Lemmy or Reddit. I realized that the endless feed actually caused me to engage less. Mostly because I wouldn’t really take the time to consider each post. Coincidentally I actually feel more engaged because of this swipe interaction that Tinder uses, making a decision for each post. Marking as read or swiping down means “it’s not my cup of tea, but it’s allowed”. Swipe left is “this is not okay/spam”. And swipe right is “I think this needs more attention”. Anyways, thought I would share the public link, as per usual, you can log into whatever instance you have. I also gave it a slightly esoteric name and a cool logo based on cave art of human hands. (And also hid a bonus matrix rain theme in the settings).

      piefed.zip did not answer as a Lemmy instance (404). Check the address or try another instance.

      Guess no piefed support.
