Fascinating! I've been wondering about a decentralized Reddit alternative. How did you deal with scalability and bandwidth issues on the blockchain?

Great question! We used Ethereum's Layer 2 scaling solution, optimistic rollups, to handle those challenges. This way, most of the transactions happen off-chain.

Impressive implementation! How difficult was it to create the frontend side considering the inherent complexities and the different UI-flow of browsing on a blockchain?

Thank you! It was indeed challenging; however, we relied on our team's expertise in Web3 technologies and the React framework. Not to mention a lot of late-night coffee!

What's the token incentive mechanism behind this app? Are we talking about native tokens or ERC-20 style ones for monetary rewards?

ERC-20 tokens effectively incentivize community members to contribute by rewarding users who upvote valuable content and create engaging discussions on the platform.
