I think I do, I think "watches" designates what it is, and Galaxy is a well known branding... At least that's my feeling, maybe someone has a different opinion.
Thanks!
While we're on the subject of feedback. Would you like to take a look at my communities? I'm always looking for people who have suggestions for improvement.
In my opinion, theism and sustainability have decent descriptions, albeit a little complicated (someone who e.g. isn't a native English speaker may need a few takes).
Minimalism and libertarianism could use a paragraph to explain just some basic idea instead of a link outside. I mean, minimalism sounds kinda self-explanatory, but some may think it's about the art style.
Particl just had me confused honestly. It sounds like another bitcoin alternative with a good stuffing of grand-sounding keywords, and a link to a PDF whitepaper isn't helping. I don't like downloading random PDF and hate it when web sites do that.
Well, you can look at my communities in return and tell me what you think. (I know formuladank needs a better desc too. That's one I haven't updated properly since launch, when I didn't know if Lemmy will even take off at all.)
Hey your community descriptions are very pleasant to read and descriptive. But sometimes I have the impression that there is perhaps too much text which becomes a bit of a wall of text, especially on mobile devices (SWMemes). Also, you could perhaps format lists as such, as this can also save significantly more space (listing of other communities).
On SW memes I had a survey, and one of the questions I asked was if people want more descriptive rules and stuff, and most said yes. There was also demand for the special days, and people were asking about the pending subscription issue... So it just gets more expanded.
I'm only on mobile too, so it's a bit much for my taste too (I'm trying to be minimalist with this, e.g. not repeating server rules etc. which won't stop anyone from being a twat anyway).
But the actual members seem happier with this, so that's why it is that way.
As for links for related communities, I wanted it to be easier to tap the right one on a phone screen.
Numbered lists on Lemmy have the following problem:
Then you make a line break to add a paragraph to the first point, but it looks "outside" of the list
But I'll see if there's anything else I can trim...
Thanks for looking.
If they are happy let it be. I also see the problem with lists but maybe when listing nice communities to join you could go with the unsorted lists. Like that you have bullet point for each community that save up a lot of space.
I have also reviewed my community descriptions and made some significant changes to particl and libertariansim. If you want you can go over it one more time ;)
Libertarianism looks great! Particl I'm still not sure about, but then I guess I'm not the target audience anyway, so I'll leave it in your hands :p
Haha thanks. I can see that Particl's text is not explaining much but I like it like this. Actually the other text was copied over from reddit and was written by the devs themselves.
Wow thank you for taking your time and providing such valuable feedback! I'll defo look at yours too.
