I actually appreciate having you here, and unlike saidit this site isn't running on garbage forked reddit source code. It's written entirely from the ground up to accommodate decent amounts of traffic, and operate relatively securely.
Mods, message me, verify who you are, and I'll give you control over any sub that is relevant.
Now, go and inform the people who are still on reddit for some reason they have a home here.
Right. Well if you have stewardship over IP2 users, this place will always be here and is open.
I handled close to 1 million requests in a day a few days ago being on the front page of hackernews on this $3 vps without issue. Most of the reddit alternatives out there have just cloned the reddit code from github and ran the install script. The public reddit code is really, really bad for small-medium scale projects.
This place also offers anonymous posting, and open mod/admin logs.
It's also only been out for 4-5 days and still in alpha. Check out the about section to get an idea of why I'm running it.
I hope you guys can find a home soon, even if it's not here.
i'm sure he'll figure it out. he's a big boy (there's also a chance he's encountering a bug, i just fixed a bug Void had encountered when modding people)
trust me, if it were a viable option, i wouldn't of spent the massive amount of time making this.
i actually set it up on a server with the intention of modifying it and going from there. the minimum server that it would even run decently on was a 4 core 4gb memory, and even then every request took like 500-600ms. before any users whatsoever, just me.
i'm guessing at HUGE levels of scale, the reddit code is extremely useful, but as of right now my $3 vps can handle several million requests a day with the code I have written. if i get to the point where i can't scale this linearly, and cheaply, i'll have much bigger issues on my plate.
I made this as much for me as anybody else. Reddit kept banning subs I enjoyed, and now almost all that's left is a feed of 'omg look how cute my puppy is' pictures, politics discussions, and normies. I just want back what was lost, and then to do even better.
You'll never have to worry about having your subs banned here, or being banned, unless you flood other subs with 'HITLER DID NOTHING WRONG' type content (even that's fine if you mark it nsfw and limit it to subs which tolerate it). You'll never have to worry about me selling out.
This project is still in its early stages, but I am legitimately trying to make the internet a less-shitty place.
i tried to design the site in such a way that it looks decent, and works the same, on devices of any resolution. this allows me to save time by not having to develop dedicated apps, or mobile versions of the site.
mobile app comes when it's more than just me working on this
Traffic amounts have been extremely low, subscriptions aren't added yet, but they will be once traffic reaches a decent level. Adding subscriptions would require I specify defaults, and as I currently do not know which communities will spring up on this site, I can't predict the default I need to assign.
For now, the volume is low enough you can sort by new on /r/all, and find the content you need.
Subscription functionality will be really easy to add once the traffic justifies it.
can you post links? yeah, post any link to any sub which would want it. just please flag anything you wouldn't want your boss to see as nsfw.
can you post full size images? you can post links to images, and a thumbnail will be created after a few seconds, but image expansion hasn't been implemented yet. i was actually working on it tonight before ip2 people showed up. in the meantime, there are addons which achieve this.
right now you'll get a pretty good idea of how many people are accumulating here by the amount of votes/comments/posts.
also, if people don't actively decide to distinguish themselves as being part of your community, i have no way of knowing who they are or why they are here. this platform is open to everybody.
Mods, message me, verify who you are, and I'll give you control over any sub that is relevant.
Now, go and inform the people who are still on reddit for some reason they have a home here.
