Dude, what the fuck kind of comment is this?! I have no love for spez whatsoever, and would happily see him lose all his money and landed gentry status. But your comment is just unhinged.
Like bro i am known for being unhinged as fuck but even i wouldn't go this far this is tooo far. Like what the fuck far.
Yeah, it’s one of the better projects. My only annoyance is that, on first launch, it defaults to the iOS skin on Android.
Here is a question, how do you comment on a post from mastodon? I've seen some people do it but I'm not sure how.
When I went to download Voyager to test it out, I realized that I still had Apollo installed. I hadn't had the heart to delete it ...until now.
Not the person you replied to, but Memmy and then Voyager once Memmy became unmaintained. I’m mostly happy with it, and it seems to generally improve with time.
Only complaint now is weirdness around sharing images with other apps: sometimes they show up as the image URL and sometimes as the actual image
That Memmy dev went unimaginable hard for a month or two, then really started to fall behind everyone else.
I wonder what happened. I wonder if they were unemployed then got a new job or something.
Yeah they had the first functional iOS app long before anyone else (Mlem had started earlier but stalled for a while). I recall some of the Memmy developer’s comments saying they had learned a lot about app development since the first beta and had big plans to overhaul the code base. I’m assuming this turned into too much for them to handle, especially as an unpaid gig.
It’s a shame Memmy’s been abandoned, but I’m still super appreciative of the developer for making a workable Lemmy app back then. It definitely helped ease the sting of the transition from Reddit.
Yeah, it was a much better experience than the Lemmy web app during the early days. Lemmy’s devs famously don’t care very much about their mobile client.
I went with Avelon until the devs went silent for awhile. Still installed, I assume they have irl problems. Right now I’m using arctic and it’s crisp as hell, very nice app
I am yet another fledditor. I think I looked at nearly all the alternatives and I liked the Fediverse the best.
I do miss the sheer volume of participation on reddit, but I that has been steadily improving. And the quality and tone of the conversations is generally much better.
Any forums with large numbers of participants is going to have certain problems. The difference is that reddit turned most of those problems into institutions while Lemmy provides better ways to deal with them and easier ways to avoid them.
Having worked in high tech for almost four decades, I have come to appreciate the advantages of not having everything controlled by a central authority. Sooner or later the leadership, however benevolent, will change into something repressive and exploitive. Once that happens, it will remain that way forever, because there is no financial or political incentive to move in that direction. Replacement has been the only thing that works, at least so far. The Fediverse provides an alternative to that cycle that seems viable.
RiF was so good. It's how I interacted with reddit for a very long time. Now Jerboa but it's still not quite there. Although it's free and the devs are super awesome.
Same here. I floundered and ended up on Kbin. Then that had a massive outage and I discovered that lemmy had Voyager, and bam!
Killing my favorite 3rd party Reddit app and the way they treat their customers and subreddits
I didn't like the changes on Reddit with the API and suddenly charging for access. Turns out, I like it better here. Probably would have liked it before the Reddit refugee situation, too.
Boost got blocked on Reddit during the API shutdown, the creator then made the app for Lemmy. I came here with the rest of the Reddit Refugees.
Reddit api change but indirectly.
The 3rd party app closedown led to tons of weird niche subs showing up on popular, and their mods were quite silly, and several sub bans later, a complete ban for defending Palestine.
From what I've seen, that last bit might get you some negative responses here, too. Unless you picked your instance well, it might cause you trouble with your account, too.
It has yeah.
Doesn't matter, fediverse is so wide that if I end up on an instance like that, I'd like to be banned so as not to even accidentally go there again.
Hell, I could put up my own instance if I wanted to.
The reddit IPO.
I admit it should of been sooner, but I had to make two emails just to sign up for this. (I wanted to try Protonmail and for some reason you need a email to get email with them so you can email your emails.
Yeah that is weird i just use a temp mail as it doesn't matter and is just for the verification one time.
Another arrival due to APIpocalypse and the enshittification process that Spez started with Reddit.
The appocalypse. I ain't using their bullshit first-party app and the site is garbage on mobile. I was looking for an alternative before that anyway, but because of it I heard about Lemmy (odd I didn't hear about it before though when I was searching specifically for a site like this).
Reddit banning third party apps was the last straw. Even though I didn't use them I supported the movement. I tried Tildes for a little while, but it didn't click for me. Lemmy works well and I don't feel it's as addictive as Reddit.
Still a little addictive though.
