The Reddit Protests Continue, but the company has a much bigger problem
I think the biggest issue is that u/spez thinks Reddit content is proprietary when it’s really a public forum.

I have a full-time job and thankfully don’t need extra income. I try to relax and do things I enjoy when I’m not working.

FWIW, Gabe’s argument isn’t against subscriptions. The point in that quote is that legal access to content curbs piracy. Piracy will of course always exist, but there’s also customers that are willing to pay if is convenient and accessible.

What was so special about the Apollo app?

I didn’t know that. Yet another reason to love Apollo.

They’re proactively reaching out to employees in case that they’ve experienced any bullying of harassment, but haven’t self reported it.

Apollo’s video and gif player was so good. Scrub anywhere you want, fast loading, and compared to the official Reddit app — it actually worked.

While not the purpose of this community, make sure you go into your lemmy settings and have any languages you want enabled. The UI isn't very clear so also make sure "undetermined" is selected along any other languages you'd like to see.

What's your favorite third-party app that feels native to iOS/Android?
The best was defintely Apollo. Memmy seems to be trying to push the native iOS UI forward, but it's early days for that app.

What are your favorite sublemmys?
Reply in thread
That’s inherent to the fediverse. You have to specify which instance you’re referring to. The wording between “community” or “sublemmy” isn’t actually helpful when you have to provide the instance domain anyway.

Do you consider AI art “OC” ?
That's an interesting question. I haven't spent very much time thinking about how to define AI art. My immediate thought is that AI art can be OC, but it should also be labeled as such. It's important to know if a person created the content vs prompting an AI to generate the content. The closest example I can think of is asking someone to paint something for you instead of painting it yourself.

After 25 years, Netflix will be shutting down its DVD rental service this September
Reply in thread
They named their DVD service "Qwikster" at that time. Obviously it was a terrible idea and had to rebrand.

Is there any way to get the infinite scrolling like on reddit?
This is kind of odd on desktop, but lemmy.world added voyager (previously wefwef) as the default view if you visit m.lemmy.world.

[meme] Trains are 100000x easier to electrify and automate than cars, so why does everyone keep talking about electric and driverless cars?

In some countries it's also more efficient to drive.

I’m not a fan of the big banner on the screen, but it’s an otherwise nice looking menu screen.

iOS 17 is a lot of little updates that make a big impact
Reply in thread
There’s no third party app store support in iOS 17 or iPadOS. I wouldn’t expect something like the altstore to get better until third party stores are officially supported.

Have you ever had Detroit-style pizza?
I’ve had Detroit style pizza, but I can’t say I liked it very much compared to other pizza styles so I don’t have good recommendations.
My favorite is neapolitan pizza so I’d recommend trying one if you come across a place that does them and haven’t tried it yet.

Whats the lemmy demographic?
Reply in thread
My guess is that Lemmy is a new platform. The fediverse is also new to most people (myself included) and that leads to people genuinely replying to posts instead of trolling around.

Why is that crazy? If I loan the bank money and they make money on my loan I should get paid for it.
