Founder title comes when you reach 100 true karma regardless of join date I believe.
It's the "true" karma bit that's tripping me up tho, I'm almost at 400 calculated karma but the true karma equation subtracts your post count from the total and I have a gazillion no-upvotes posts and comments that I made early on (and keep making) to keep my subs active and show activity on the site to hopefully attract new users. I'd have founder status by now if I only posted stuff I knew would get decent interaction.
Yeah really Digg and Reddit both launched with millions of dollars in VC funding and before the term "social media" existed. They were first and second movers in a space who's only competition was a bunch of unfunded, non-linked forums spread across the internet that all required a search engine to find and separate logins to use. Growing a user base was like Mike Tyson vs second graders for them. Mainchan has to compete with a fully grown Reddit, the Fediverse, it's own 4chan inspired name scaring off a segment of potential users, and the rest of the billion dollar social media landscape that isn't giving up eyeballs without a fight. Growing in this environment, without deep pockets, in any meaningful way is remarkable.
You know what I think I was talking out of my ass. I actually hadn't used hover on my phone in forever. Just testing it now there was no response. I was remembering my old Note 3 which specifically did have hover functionality, you can see demoed here: https://youtu.be/eWZ5NtmSK64?t=23
Since then mobile hover seems to be one of the many corners Samsung has cut in the latest phones. Now it just seems relegated to the s-pen and only in certain apps. Samsung Internet being one.
Edit: Now I'm legitimately considered getting a Note 3 again. That seriously was the peak in terms of features on Samsung phones.
I use Brave on mobile. But hover is just a feature of the phone, you should be able to do it right now if you're on one of the flagship phones. Especially a Note, you can easily see it when you use the pen tool.
I don't think it's sad, I ran a bunch of PHPBB type forums back in the day, the slow build of the user base really takes me back. Savor it now, eventually it'll hit critical mass and 5x your stress level to keep up with.
I'm also using a different browser to access the site for now because the only fix on the user end for that error is clearing one's browser cache and I don't feel like resetting my main browser like that at the moment.
I held out for so long, just refusing to give up my precious HTML attributes. I was all like, "But HTML is so simple, why do we need to complicate this?" totally not hearing that whole separate layout from style argument. Now it's like the back of my hand but in those web 1.0 days I was a salty HTML curmudgeon.
Yeah I've been avoiding learning REACT. So many libraries. frameworks and languages etc. in the web dev game. I miss the days when all you needed was HTML CSS and Javascript/JQuery to do most anything. Heck I'm old enough to remember getting pissy that I had to learn CSS.
For a sec I thought I was in for some good old Irish diddly-eye. Nope, Scottish diddly. Song sounds like it'd be right at home on the Lord of The Rings soundtrack, almost has a sea shanty feel to it as well.
I saved some AI faves of mine in hopes that I can one day use them as memes, like the attached
Back atcha mate.

I'm sure you wound up searching up the same page I saw on that error 520: https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/error-520/ did you wind up trying any of those fixes?

I got one on that post too, niiice.
Get a Samsung Android, I've had hover on mobile since like the first Note phone.
Best of both worlds, only show the separate upvote/downvote count when you hover the combined count.
I'm all for it

Was done amazingly with "Phantom Dust" but no one has touched the concept since.

One day a rap producer is gonna find this song and sample it into a fire beat.
