Pretty much this. It's crazy how bloated the app is with a 1000 ways to monetize the shit out of the user (reddit premium, reddit coins, shop, NFT???)

Like holy shit it's unreal how bad the main app is compared to a clean experience like Apollo and Memmy

Threads isn’t yet running in the EU - and it might never run, as the bloc has stricter privacy rules than most other countries, and it has given Meta a few headaches to cope with in recent years. It’s not the EU that blocked the launch of the app, rather it’s Meta who’s being preemptively careful.

Basically Meta is unsure if EU privacy law will allow them to keep functioning so they just decided to not launch there

Ya agreed, I wish YouTube would've just pushed it as another app instead of forcing it down the main YouTube users throats.

Like, I don't even mind short tiktok like videos, but yeah I don't go on youtube for that

Damn it's like whoever is taking these decisions has no idea what he's doing

From what I understand, hot is supposed to be like Reddit where they show up posts that are gaining traction in the day.

But yeah it's pretty buggy right now, been seeing a lot of old posts too

At this point the Marketing is his name. Well respected director and last movie? Sign me up

True, Facebook is already in hot waters with EU because of privacy laws, it's no wonder that they're scared of launching Threads there.

Ya pretty much double-edge sword

On one hand, Instagram users can bring a ton of content, which "should" be good for the overall website

On the other, it's Meta lol

Yess finally I loved sync for reddit. Can't wait to use this

I think that's normal. People will try out Lemmy but if they notice that the communities they frequent doesn't have a lot of content they'll just leave back to reddit.

We can hope for organic growth but it'll take a long time (especially with how big reddit is)

Oh nice! Been using the TestFlight version didn’t even notice it’s out

App is great so far. Good replacement for Apollo

Yeah, at least they’re making sure it works “fine” before selling you for 3500$

Lowkey it's pretty garbage lol.

But it's by Facebook and a lot of people are already joining it. I feel like if anyone can compete with twitter it'll be them (even though I genuinely despite Zuck)

Yup, at the end of the day I feel like most of the casual reddit community does not give 2 shits about how bad this whole ordeal is and just want their daily fix of content. I'm guessing it's mostly new users too, since they're already used to the new app.

It sucks but hopefully sites like Lemmy get up to pace

Exactly, pushing people away is not how you grow a platform

Like, what happened to just downvoting low effort or low “quality” posts? Do we have to pass IQ tests to allow users on Lemmy now?

looks like there's very few changes aside from the spec bump and some extra lights on the back.

Yeah same, most communities i frequent on Reddit haven’t transitioned yet or is still tiny so I kinda juggle between the two apps.

Lemmy is nice for tech and nerdy subreddits but that’s pretty much it rnow

I’ll miss this app dearly man. First alien blue now this

Reddit getting worse and worse every year

Was using IOS and Alien Blue before I switched to Android. Couldn’t find a decent app until I tried sync and it’s been my favorite Reddit app ever since

Def want to see this movie. Should I take 70m or Imax?
