With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that’s not too big of a surprise
Also, the great (auto?)biography White Line Fever comes up.
RIP Lemmy Kilmister
At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.
Now I’m using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.
I’m waiting for Sync 😊
Google play store is cringe.
Google
play storeis cringeThey’re one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they’re constantly making major redesigns for no reason.
It pains me to defend a corpo, but calling Google unreliable for their “fling shit and see what sticks” methodology for developing new products is inaccurate. Google/Alphabet is actually one of the most reliable corpos in the tech sphere, relatively-speaking, if you analyze their core products throughout the years.
Yes, it does feel like Google retires projects faster than they instantiate them. But that’s by design. The core product (selling advertising on SERPs/YouTube/AdWords/etc) is about as reliable as it gets, and that’s where they get their money.
Obligatory “fuck corporations.”
Their core products meaning search and email, sure. Everything else is on the chopping block and randomly changes all the time.
Remember when they bought Nest and literally bricked everyone’s thermostats? Tasks / reminders / whatever gets completely reworked every other year. They went through a chat phase where they released half a dozen different, incompatible chat apps, and also wrote a chat sub-system into every other app they had.
They’re lunatics. If all they want to do is search and email, just do that, don’t waste time and consumer patience branching out into all these random things they’ll drop support for in two years.
I always find it so extraordinary when someone replies to one of my comments with some off-the-wall shit like this.
You’re splitting hairs I already split. I specifically pointed out that their core products, you know, the things that actually matter, render the company among the most-reliable tech giants out there. I explicitly countered the notion that the fling-shit-and-see-what-sticks method is anything other than an elaborate R&D scheme.
Yet, here you are, responding to me raging about Google’s failproducts as if I didn’t JUST get finished explaining what that’s all about and how it doesn’t detract from their ability to generate income. They’re not lunatics, you just don’t understand what’s happening. Which again, is wild, because you’re literally responding to a comment where I explained what’s happening.
I’m more curious if any Lemmy app shows up if you search for Reddit.
They do not.
For me it’s:
Officialshitty reddit app- to 5. Reddit 3rd party apps
- Discord
- Another 3rd party app
- PUBG mobile
- Some AI shit
- Genshin impact
- to ∞. mostly games
Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app
You can “install” it as an app on your phone too.
install … a website? is that a thing?
Yep. Then you find Voyager, vger.app where you install that website as an app, now you get a similar Apollo experience from the “old Reddit days.” That’s what I’ve used since day 3.
Yep agreed voyager is basically Apollo for Lemmy. Of course still a long way to go but it’s close
Definitely, but it gets very regular & quick updates and has gotten much better within like a week
If Voyager is like Apollo, it’s no wonder iOS users were so up in arms about the API shutdown.
Ya agreed. Eventually things will even out give or take and both platforms will be fine
