Reddit with their "subscriber" counts

Who cares your community has 100000 subs. 90000 of them are duplicates or gone.

Unironically a single bike lane off to the side might have eased up traffic.

This is just another reminder that reddit didn't start its life with comments. Reddit was just the links at first, comments came later, and yes, the first comment was complaining about there being comments and how the site would be ruined.

Hell, I would even dare say, the best way to do it is to have the API be free up to a certain usage, at which point it becomes paid. Then the price scales down as you get even more and more usage.

This allows newcomers to the app space to get their footing, and punishes people trying to automate vote bots while rewarding established devs.

Enshittification will one day kill Lemmy. Somehow.

And we'll be elsewhere.

He deserves Musk.

If there's one place where I think the wrong Reddit attitude is starting to crop up is the anti/pro sync discourse that's going on.

People are even outright lying about apps. Such as claiming other apps have toms of bugs, meanwhile, I'm trying out sync and there's a comment sorting bug if you switch to top, some comments show up isolated when they're a reply to something else, and even have several lines coming off from nowhere if you turn on colored indentations. Never seen this anywhere else, not even on Jerboa which is the oldest and generally least stable. Another bug, although this one I've seen, is that Sync doesn't properly list all self-posts on the profile pages. Meanwhile, sync IS the most feature rich, and others are denying it. One example, Sync not just has an actual toggle for in-comment media preloading (they called them emotes for some reason), they even let you toggle specific services on generic link handling.

What I did here, is what those people don't. Give specifics. This tribalism is peak upvote downvote fighting style characteristic of big /r/all communities on reddit and I hate it. Garbage threads.

We literally split the atom and with it, came up with the cleanest and cheapest way to support a large chunk of our energetic needs.

Then some people did a big boom with it, and then a cartoon decided to draw it as green rods of evil energy, and there, the entire world decided to stop using it. And we've not started doing it again properly for several decades, all while we uproot carbon off the biosphere and the ground and into the air so we can boil ourselves to a climatic disaster.

Aliens would find nothing worth respecting.

It is quite a weird thread. I'm seeing a lot of people saying Sync is the best, and honestly, it might be, but the logic that the others are outright bad doesn't fly. The only app that is outright bad is Jerboa, and the only reason to use Jerboa was if you were on here since BEFORE reddit even started the API thing, when it was the only option. We have a TON of options right now. Everyone actually focusing on Jerboa feels like they're not an actual Lemmy user.

Voyager has an app that respects navigation panes, UI refreshes and haptic system gestures now, so all those "but it doesn't FEEL native" complaints have been put to the ground to begin with.

Oh, you're young

Thank you prolific poster person

Hey a snail could kill 6 billion, but only if we're talking 999

despite them completely hiding it in the trailers and promotional material

....

Finished Yugioh the sacred cards just now, and got annoyed they never let you use Winged Dragon of Ra.

I still think they should just go full aggression and call it RwF, with a dog logo.

Yeah, I read an article from someone explaining the actual user experience in Threads and it's abysmal. You try to curate your feed and instead of getting what you expect, you get content from the likes of people your followers followed followed and are left wondering who the hell everyone is. It's far from the type of setup you get on Instagram.

With that said, Threads had lost half its users ages ago. This headline is sensational, and the platform could easily recover. I don't want to give it much weight.

Just make a notification stating "Sync is back" and don't elaborate.

Holy shit I see them.

Ah forget it, my bad. I must have been confusing apps, I was comparing a bunch earlier today. Sorry about that.
