Speaking of 3rd party apps, here's a list of all lemmy apps currently in development: https://lemmy.world/post/465785

For iOS, I'm testing Liftoff, Memmy, and Thunder. For Android, I'm testing Jerboa. What's everyone's favorite app so far?

Dawn of the first day. 72 hours remains.

EDIT: Didn’t expect this comment to get this many upvotes. Here’s a song for all you Majora’s Mask fans to enjoy at Time’s End, by the magnificently talented Theophany.

It's just sad. Like when you separate out the vitriol for spez, the whole situation just sucks. Reddit was my site for over a decade, and I know there are tens of thousands in the same situation as me. I thought I was insulated from this bullshit within Reddit, but clearly I was naive.

I was also on reddit for more than 10 years, but in that time I have posted less there, than in a few days here.

I ultimately still need to use reddit for a few things, mainly a modding group from Skyrim I'm a part of and we use reddit as a sort of hub for our work, so I'm kind of stuck there until the heat death of either reddit or the project.

I do have hope for Lemmy though, but as of July 1st, reddit will lose me as part of their mobile ecosystem because I refuse to utilize that shit app of theirs.

Life is change. It's always good to be reminded of that by the relatively non-important things.
