Well, so as the thing says, I’ve updated the software a lot, comissioned an artist for a logo and now is not a hell to install.
Keep making open source projects words no one can pronounce or spell. I love using stuff no one uses… glad it’s being worked on but wow it’s like a battle to name things confusing sets of letters
I’m sure they are up for suggests as that name is not doing it any favours.
@gabboman @fediverse oh wow I wonder who would develop this
Is this comment made from a wafrn instance? It’s cool that it works with lemmy
@arudesalad its more like in mastodon tbh. its a comment to a post
I was just scrolling through the instance to see what it is like and I saw this post, I know it’s federation but it is still really cool
@arudesalad sometimes… shit… just works!
No alt right, no nazis, no terfs.
How it’s possible to enforce this on self-hostable software?
The more alternatives to corporation owned social media the better! I hope it takes off, but I’ve never really been a Tumblr guy.
What differences does this have over Lemmy?
Edit: I never actually used Tumbler
Tumblr is a blogging experience that’s similar to Twitter, but more focused on the user itself than on the central feed.
- You have your blogs and you post there. Yes, you can have many blogs.
- There’s global feeds with posts from all users, potentially including yours.
- Posts can have non-intrusive hashtags, meaning they are not #partOfThePost, but in a separate, smaller, dedicated section of the post.
- You can’t post stuff to someone else’s blog, but you can comment on their posts. Comments are tiny next to the post.
- You can quote posts, but that makes a duplicate in a blockquote rather than linking to the original post like Twitter
lemmy is reddit. wafrn is tumblr
Like the title says, it’s meant to be a Tumblr-esque experience.
@technomad @gabboman ok so reddit is like a forum. Tumblr is twitter without sucking that much ass. I mean, it does because ceo has gne full cunt mode, but anyway
take alook how it looks
Okay, but why male models?
Tumblr is short-form blogging platform, inspired by tumbleblogs, which were a thing back in the day (another example of Big Tech lifting an idea and then walling it off). So it’s like micro-blogging but without the word limit, so you can throw out a thought or a picture or a video, or go into greater detail if the mood took you. On Tumblr people would tend to have a few on different topics.
I much preferred it to Twitter as it felt a lot more free-form but usually focused on a topic.
Wafrn, in MY Lemmy?? It’s more likely than I thought!
Seriously though I LOVE Wafrn. I got into Tumblr right at the tail end immediately before it went to shit, and I always regretted not doing it sooner. Wafrn rules.
How do you pronounce Wafrn?
[Borat voice: wife!] right now
I chose the second one
I read it as “waff-run”
It’s an acronym - “What Asshole Fucking wRote Name”
Waffen? 🤔
Interesting choice of name to say the least…
Yes, but they do specify “no Nazis” so it can’t go wrong.
