It’s a web app! No download required.

If your not using wefwef already, try it out.

Closest thing to Apollo right now.

Oh, looks like I’m switching instances.

MacOS.

Prefer Linux but I like the Apple hardware so I’m giving it a try.

Actually we still can add posts and comments, but just users from our instances and the ones we federate with can see it.

I’m a little confused myself as a Lemmy.world user. I was able to leave a comment on a behaw technology forum and got upvotes on it.

It’s the beginning of the end if you catch my drift.

There’s no way Reddit can recover from this.

Even if they were to revert every single poor decision in the last 6 months right now, the damage is done.

They showed their true colours, and everyone is done with the platform.

Long live Lemmy.

This whole Japan nuclear wastewater thing going around the news has me shaking my head.

The word nuclear in general just scares people.

What’s to stop someone from just not checking the ‘bot account’ option for their bot though?

I love that this post was literally 2 posts down from a pegging post on my ‘all’ feed.

If they didn’t get paid by Reddit they likely sold it on the dark web.

Damn, 20k subs already!?!

I could have sworn it was 7k like 3 days ago.

Uh no, you can’t. It’s like any game with DRM.

You can’t play most games on steam without logging in at least once.

Just use TLLauncher.

In a lot of subs it was like that though, to be fair.

Some mods go around collecting subs like cards. I’ve seen certain subs where the mods didn’t really bother protesting, or even did protests that actually drove traffic and platform engagement (r/awww and r/videos) because the thought of being removed from their positions of power was too much to handle.

These kind of mods felt like they ‘owned’ the subreddit in the same way spez thought he ‘owned’ everything. It was not free labour for them, they loved doing it and controlling content streams. If they were asked to pay money to stay as mod, they probably would.

Sorry if this post offends any of the good mods. If you are more likely to say ‘the sub I moderate’ over ‘my sub’ then you are probably one of the good ones, my statements don’t apply, and the whole ‘landed gentry’ thing is incredibly offensive.

I had a feeling there was something going when when Steve Huffman specifically called out in his interview that most comments sections were full of users ‘just wanting to go back to normal’ when the sub polls were clearly showing a different story.

It’s crazy how some of the communications from their CEO has been.

He clearly thinks he owns all the content on the platform and even called the third party app users ‘freeloaders’ when a ton of them were top contributors to the platform.

Implementation quirks.

I find even across instances in the same app, the content can change.

One of the growing pains, it will be solved with time.

The problem is a UI thing too. In wefwef for example half the time you go to post something and it says ‘error posting’, your comment actually did post. But sometimes it doesn’t.

I typically go until I see success and then delete any duplicates I left on accident.

For real, on Reddit an 8 hour old post and nobody will see your comment.

Here I can comment on a post 2 days old and still get replies.

Yes but it will take at least a few years of organic use before you can do what we do with Reddit and add ‘Lemmy’ at the end of your search query.
