i guess a good start would be by keeping myself interested. i'm part of the problem

clare i'm part of the problem

Agreed.

Should we ban Clare?

= yes
= no

malmon · 2026-10-15T00:55:56+00:00

Oh! I know! Notifications! Everyone loves notifications!

clare · 2026-10-15T00:58:27+00:00

maybe getting quality affiliates would help as well, in the past i think a bunch of people joined from our affiliates but we have none currently.

lainchan - i acted pretty immaturely when their new admin sent me an email that i didn't llke the tone of so that fell through years ago
sushichan & uboachan recently (fairly) removed us from their affiliates, prob due to how quiet we've been lately

Looks good! I like the typing indicator.
Now we can tell who is about to send an essay lol.

Hope everyone is keeping well

Welcome back! What've you been up to? ^_^

Crakila · 2026-10-15T01:02:54+00:00

malmon Mainly vibing and getting on with life haha!

COUPLED · 2026-10-15T01:04:07+00:00

clare we still appreciate the stuff you have been doing though. Especially with this new update. It is better. I wouldn't know how to drive people here either since i'd just hesitate to tell anyone to join this forum when we already talk on discord or whatever

malmon · 2026-10-15T01:04:20+00:00

clare please let me know if you run into any issues or have any feedback!

Slight layout issue on the typing indicator on mobile~

malmon · 2026-10-15T01:06:43+00:00

I do also wonder if it would be better if the thread icons showed the avatar of the last poster, rather than the OP. At least it feels a bit unintuitive to me for it to be the OP ^^'

malmon · 2026-10-15T01:08:16+00:00

I also was kinda serious about the notification idea ^^' Ain't nothing like occasionally reminding someone that something's happening to keep them coming back~

clare · 2026-10-15T01:10:50+00:00

COUPLED yeah thats p much the main issue, there's no real reason to use a forum over discord except for personal preference.

malmon will look into it ty

malmon
i kinda agree but not sure it should be positioned where it is currently. i do think first poster avatar is kinda useless info though.

malmon i think the features to get notifications from thread replies and stuff are in place already but not sure i can just go and set them up for everyone. maybe i can bulk email and have some sort of reminder to review the notification setitngs

Isn't it a thing you can make the browser do? i.e. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Notifications_API/Using_the_Notifications_API

clare · 2026-10-15T01:16:14+00:00

malmon ohhhh my bad i thought you meant notification emails. yeah that'd be good to add, will add to my list.

COUPLED · 2026-10-15T01:19:07+00:00

clare I think community is easier on forums. i think that's a valid reason anyway

edit: easier in these of as a whole I guess. i get it's easier to just join a server. do you know what i mean? idk if im explaining myself

clare · 2026-10-15T01:23:38+00:00

COUPLED yeah i kinda get it. its easy to start and join servers on disc but for them to feel like a community is kinda hard.

COUPLED · 2026-10-15T01:24:27+00:00

clare yeah that's exactly what i mean

COUPLED · 2026-10-15T01:43:11+00:00

https://lewd.sx/d/3433-random-thoughts-thread/4597

another idea xd

clare · 2026-10-15T02:05:43+00:00

COUPLED should be a lot easier to add something like this again and have it not suck with the new backend :>
