Reddit is gonna be just fine and the shade we like to throw around here isn't even a blip on their radar

Old comic but still one of my all time favorites

Don't flex too hard

I like mine. The battery leaves a lot to be desired but I do use it quite a bit. The coolest feature for me (I know this is standard for all smart watches), I'm frequently wearing an earbud. When someone calls I can check the caller ID on my wrist, accept it and start talking without touching my phone (sometimes it's in another room).

I like it for runs and the health tracking features are really good. I wish they'd come up with a better layout for picking an app. It's just a really long list. Something more like Apple's watch app grid.

If you get one on sale I'd recommend it, or just wait to see what the 2 has to offer

Yea I get roughly a day out of mine. If I don't charge it in the mornings it won't make it through the day. I'd love to get a couple days out of it.

Yea I've tried every app and there's just nothing as smooth as the sync app. Tossing an independent dev $20 a year for something I'm getting thousands of hours of use out of is a no brainer. I give Netflix more every month and don't get nearly as much value. Too many people expect to get everything for free.

Picked up a brother monochrome laser printer 3 years ago. I'd never get anything else, it's a printing beast.

Right? It's like 4 cents a day. I wouldn't even stop to pick up 4 cents off the ground. For the hundreds or thousands of hours I put into Reddit sync the value prop is more than fair.

Only problem I have is MacOS forgets my monitor layout after waking up. I run two monitors into my MacBook pro and frequently my arrangement gets forgotten and my 75hz monitor gets locked to 30 until I unhook it and hook it back in again. I ended up setting sleep timer to be much longer so I don't have to mess with this all the time.

My method is two or three ~1" cubes of beef then one 1" cube of pork belly, repeat. Hella juicy.

I think the problem is, Lemmy's greatest strength (Fediverse) is also the thing that's going to hold back a mass migration at this point in time. Onboarding with Reddit is a breeze. You make an account, it asks you what your interests are and location based communities and you're off to the races. Every community on reddit is immediately available to interact with.

When I came to lemmy I almost gave up on my initial onboarding and I'm a pretty tech savvy guy. I didn't know where to go to start. There's all these different lemmy sites and I didn't know if they were the same thing or different and if I was signing up to the right one. Account creation failed initially without giving an error message (I'll chalk that one up to just a bug). There didn't seem to be any NSFW communities until I figured out the instance thing. You're told you can use your account across instances but when you go to another instance via it's domain you can't interact with it, you have to get to another instance through your instance which is confusing as a newcomer. Any one of these issues is a falling off point for a less inclined visitor.

I'm not saying the fediverse thing is bad but the unfortunate byproduct of it is a difficult experience for newcomers, especially when you compare it to Reddit. I'm hoping growth in the community will bring in talent to solve for this initial experience or possibly apps which can handle all of this more seamlessly.

Nah, you're just trying to get your X to join you guys

I'll tell ya, it's getting a lot harder to drive around my horse and buggy with all these darned automobiles on the road. These iron chariots are making the simple pleasures a real humdinger.
