That’s fine if you’re trying to get into an argument. If you’re just answering someone’s question or sharing a story or whatever, it’s frustrating as hell when your post fails over and over. I’m getting sick of being told to check my language settings in my profile, even though no such setting exists and it had nothing to do with why my submission failed. Maybe that’s just a wefwef thing.

That’s the price of their previous model, and the article suggests that this one will be quite a bit more expensive. Definitely not a “projector beater” if you don’t have around ten grand burning a hole in your pocket.

Fair point. Though I believe we can still have capitalism without such extreme wealth distribution. Tax 99% of every dollar earned above 10 mil. Make it extremely hard to reach 100 mil. Think of how much good that tax money will do for society as a whole, assuming it’s used properly.

Yep. They are a glitch in the system. An exploitation. There’s no way that any person should deserve a hundred thousand times more money than the average full time worker.

It’s in the middle of Detroit. Even at 50k, you’ll lose money on that investment.

Fair enough. I’m surprised there isn’t a more obvious release date on the front section of the App Store. Might be useful to know how long a product has been available.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

Is there a way to trick the App Store into displaying the wrong age for your app? Because if not, then this app is 4 years old and Meta is actually stealing their name.

Same. The fact that Lemmy has several iOS apps also sealed the deal, as I do almost all my browsing on mobile. I made an account on KBin at the same time, and an eagerly watching both to see how they develop, but Lemmy just has more to offer right now.

Hi! I’m in the same boat (or lifeboat, as it were). So far, I have to say I’m impressed with Lemmy and the various apps that are racing to become the most polished and feature-packed. I hope you find yourself at home here too.

That’s a good point! I admit I avoided sorting by “new” on Reddit just because of the sheer amount of garbage that was posted, especially in popular subreddits. But this is a whole new community and that’s definitely less of a problem. I’ll give it a shot, thanks!

Totally agree. Discussions are more engaging here, and posts are more relevant to their communities. You’ll hear some people try to explain that this is just due to the smaller user base, and it’ll quickly become less friendly as it gains more people… but I don’t think so. For one, the lack of an overall “score” for each user (like Reddit’s karma) means there is no value in creating re-posting bots that try to capture the maximum number of upvotes by copying older successful material. Less bots posting old content means more real people posting current ideas.

The Halfway Post is a satirical news site, so no, there is no evidence that Grindr said this or could actually do it. Still, it would be hilarious.

The first and last points are hitting me so hard right now, even just one day after Apollo’s demise. Being able to scrub through a video or GIF was so incredibly useful. You could pause it by holding your finger still, then move back and forth by swiping left or right, even frame by frame if you wanted. I miss that more than I thought I would.

Also, hiding posts I’ve already seen (or scrolled past) was another lifesaver. One thing I notice on Lemmy (I’m simultaneously testing Mlem, Memmy and wefwef) is that I keep seeing the same posts over and over. Every few hours I open an app to my home page, and scroll through the same few dozen posts that are popular that day, only seeing something new between every five or six familiar posts. Apollo never showed me the same post twice unless I specifically bookmarked it. Much less wasted time.
