I think the real test will be on the 1st once third party apps stop working entirely. I refuse to install Reddit's official app and the few people I personally know who use Reddit have said the same. Small sample size, sure. But it's all I have to go on.

The un-moderated right wing shit has been very pronounced on Reddit the last few weeks.

The thumb thing is real. It's like muscle memory every time I unlock my phone.

Sync is/was a fantastic app. One of the best designed and functioning Android apps I've used. Damn shame.

Generational in-fighting, racial divides, red/blue animosity, it's all a distraction. Ain't no war but the class war.

I just use Firefox with the standard ad blocking extensions and I've never seen an ad on new Reddit.

Not every person. I'm perfectly fine with the bulk of Reddit users staying there to wallow in their own crapulence.

Liftoff for Lemmy feels similar so far while we wait for the Sync port.

Can someone explain why if I choose All/Hot the first page will look "normal" for a bit, but then it starts updating/scrolling constantly? Like I can't keep my place, new items are continuously being added and I can't even finish reading a headline. I don't see any settings to prevent that. What am I doing wrong?

Because it probably IS the web version.

You know it will. Do yourself a favor and move to Firefox sooner than later. I used Chrome for years and out off the migration, but since switching to Firefox a few months ago I love it. Should've done this a long time ago.

Do this many people have electrical outlets right next to their toilets? That's the only thing keeping me from getting one. I've never lived anywhere with an outlet right next to a toilet.

Liftoff is feeling very Sync-inspired. I started with Jerboa and it was okay but after it stopped working with v0.17 I found this and it's been great. Bare bones but pretty and functional.

Defi itely need an option to change the font of post body text though.

Is the constant scrolling/page updates being prioritized? I've recommended Lemmy to a few friends in the last weeks and every single one of them has mentioned the unintended scrolling making Lemmy unusable. It's less of a problem on mobile apps like Jerboa, but on desktop it's pretty painful.

I gotta know who the victim is!

My only problem with Liftoff is there seems to be no way to set the font size of comment text. It's incredibly tiny on my screen. I can change the title and subtitle font size for the post cards view, but not the comments within.

And now I have the Pearl Jam song stuck in my head. Thanks.

So are these other servers just routing requests from their users to your server's community? Or are they actually copying everything over every so often (caching) and serving up the requests themselves? How real time is it, I guess is what I'm asking?

That analogy doesn't hold when yahoo can block gmail and proton can block all yahoo content, etc.

"only" heh

Agreed completely. I know beehaw has been around a while and they have a "brand" and "vision" they're trying to push, but the timing could be better. This stuff will sort itself out as new tools become available, and the more people using the Fediverse the faster those tools will be developed.
