It looks nice for the people that use those sites.
Looks very BBS.

thanks! I had several observations that motivated me to program it:
Problems 1 and 2 are solved by federation: by having several different sites share the same threads / responses, no one site maintains exclusive control over a thread. This also means that conversations remain, even if a server goes down.
Problem 3 is also solved by federation, but it's even better solved by thread tagging. If tagging is used to combine the "boards" / discussion topics that a user's interested in, it reduces the workload of seeing the list of conversations.
The theme is decidedly different than the 2ch-style look of shiichan boards (like world4ch), kareha boards (like 4-ch), emanon boards (like SA), and iyagi boards (like 4x13). This may be changed later, but I think it's already a bit more "accessible" for this reason.
I like it OP you should try to grow this place.

thanks! If you got any ideas for things I could add or change about it, that would be nice. With this project, the goal is not so much "zomg 2ch for English speakers" as much as it is "2ch but 20 years later." (Even Kareha is over 15 years old, isn't it?)
In time, I will begrudgingly add mobile support; a more interesting tool that's coming along will be a scraper that archives posts from other Western 2ch-sites and assigns tags. Initially, there were some reservations I had with this; namely, scraping can draw traffic away from already small boards; but scraping is justified in that it (1) archives boards that frequently go down without notice, and (2) makes the experience more comfortable for the user.
A demonstration of what I mean: there's at least 6 English language anonymous boards about programming!
If posts from all of these boards were combined into a meta-/prog/, it would be less necessary to just pick a favorite programming forum and neglect the rest. Plus, because multichan is designed to be easily scrapable, archives of the 6 programming boards
This is just my opinion but you shouldn't add mobile support textboards should stay on the regular internet don't give the average idiot normie access to textboards because they will just make the experience not fun and it will turn into Reddit. Smartphones were a mistake and helped to kill the internet but yet again this is all my suggestion/opinion and you don't have to do this if you don't want to.

Are you the same dude shitting up the mod request thread?
>dude shitting up the mod request thread
which one lol?
No that would be the newfag zoomers and that almost 40 year old fat bald neckbeard guy spamming the thread.

Eh, I don't think most people who seek out textboards are like that. Aside from users who enjoy the slower pace and atmosphere, it's mostly internet adventurers who rarely stick around, even if they are on their phone if they can find it they probably are fine. Hell, you can connect to BBSes on a smartphone.

That thread is becoming one of the best of 2020, you can't tell who is pissing each-other off more.

Interesting, I hope this combined with overtext/txtchan will help grow the western textboard community.
