Can someone still viewing Reddit explain how it is doing as of right now in terms of content quality and engagement?
You can check on Reddit surreptitiously by going to https://libreddit/r/[subreddit]. If I understand correctly, reddit gets no "credit" for your visit that way.
The sub that I mod has gotten a LOT quieter since I stopped posting there (around the time of the blackout). Historically I was doing the bulk of the posting there, I guess.
There are 11K subscribers over there; my new "official" community has 16 at latest count--despite my notice and links to it.
When things settle down in the Fediverse, I'll make an announcement that I will be posting stuff exclusively on lemmy. We'll see what happens. 🤷♂️

Right infront of the apartment building.
What are we looking at? Clearly something burned, but... 🤔

Opinion - What are your thoughts on password managers? Do you use one? Would you recommend it to others?

Yup. "All day, every day", indeed. Absolutely essential.

What phone is a power user's best bet in 2023?
I'm nowhere near an expert, but it was so easy to root/flash my Pixel 7 Pro (especially with this tool: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/pixelflasher-for-google-pixel-7-pro-support-thread.4505287/), that I'll probably stick with Pixels for awhile?

Will their ever be a Lemmy mobile app?

Is she looking for an "official" app--not realizing there isn't such a thing? That they all have different names and are so new that they all have different levels of functionality?
And that Lemmy.world is so slammed with new users that most of the apps don't seem to be working properly? ☺️

Interesting. Liftoff has been the most problematic for me. I saw a meme yesterday about how slow it was. I'll have to try it again.

Any good alternatives to browsers?
I find Kiwi Browser essential. It's one of the only ones that you can install chrome extensions onto.

Encouraging to hear about how much help you're getting. A happy lemmyverse is a happy fediverse?

YSK: Signal is a great secure private messenger app comparable to others on the market.
Reply in thread
I laughed at your "...she doesn't want to install another app...". I have a close friend that told me the same thing.
I was able to convince my sister to install Signal so that we could more securely send financial receipts back and forth, etc.
More than one of you in this thread have mentioned Matrix. I realized I signed up for it during the Great Migration about 3 weeks ago, but I haven't spent any time there yet. How is it the same/different/better than whatever else? Curious. (I suppose Google might be my friend in this situation.)

Un- and re- installed the app. Multiple accounts/instances now working! 👍 😎

Is the subscription the only way to remove ads?
Reply in thread
I've already seen some placeholders in my feed. Not sure yet if the ads aren't ready yet, or if my myriad adblockers are doing their jobs.

Why do I see duplicate posts so often and how can we prevent this?
Was seeing this a lot this morning. One post was there 11 times.

Humble request to add an icon to the community
I had that same reaction! 😂
