Same. I had RES for desktop and RiF for android and switched to Apollo for iOS. There are just so many things that they could integrate for a good user experience but they don’t for whatever reason. I started reddit after I migrated from Digg back in 2011. There wasn’t an app, so I used a third party. They could’ve handled everything so much better, but they’re just being assholes.
Definitely weird coloring, I think that’s why she was abandoned at a shelter since she couldn’t be used for dog shows, but she was so cute and had such a wild spirit. I’m so thankful to have had her in my life.
Not OP but from what I understand, the instances (home countries) you sign up with don’t really matter on the whole. It’s just that those are different servers. When a server gets too big it can kinda bog down the system and can cause things to get buggy and slow. So it’s better if we all spread out to alleviate so much pressure on one server.
With the reddit migration there’s a lot of us coming in suddenly. So some servers Are having a difficult time keeping up. Luckily with Lemmy.world Ruud is hosting our server and he has a pretty strong background with hosting other federated servers on mastodon. He has already upgraded Lemmy.World to its own designated server with more bells and whistles.
Some servers do have limitations on what they want and expect out of their people, but our server doesn’t have anything like that which I like, I feel like our community (lemmings?) are quite chill.
With big companies like Amazon, they have a plethora of servers, some that are on big tankers out in the middle of the ocean. So with a federated community we are kinda socialist in the way that we have volunteers that are giving up their time an space in order to host our servers. It’s much easier for us to spread it out to host as many people as we can. Speaking of hosting our servers, I know Ruud has set up a patreon so that we can donate to help keep the servers running smoothly. That way it isn’t coming out of his pocket only
Wow that’s a wild mix!! lol supermutt 😂 is that a real distinction the DNA test made?
You know, I was surprised how much I enjoyed that piece. The interview was handled nicely and I really felt that the representative was very down to earth.
I also really like how he used AI to help him write his speech for presenting the bill and the terrible joke it gave him to close it out.
Data privacy is so important. I’m glad that they are looking at making this a law.
Absolutely agree. According to a few articles, reddit isn’t that profitable. But apart from paying for servers, what overhead do they have? Most all of the mods were volunteers. Content creators are volunteers (I mean, we’re the content creators after all). Now after having some (still very little) experience with Lemmy, most of the cost goes to the servers, which many of the server hosts here are posting patreons in order to keep things running which I think is great! I love that setup. I’d have no problem paying a small amount to help with hosting.
Think of Wikipedia… they’re still a donation only website. If that site turns to only seek profit it would really shift the way Wikipedia works and what it presents.
Reddit had reddit premium, buying those awards and stuff and the ad revenue. I’d really really like to see how it isn’t profitable unless the higher ups are just greedy and are expecting millions of dollars for sending their people to go to board meetings.
YTA have you considered that you contribute nothing?
But seriously, would love for AITA to migrate. Nice shitpost
I’m so happy witches vs patriarchy came over! I was hoping to see y’all!
Sorry for my accidental deletion of my last comment. Still getting used to Lemmy lol
I migrated from Digg to reddit like 12 years ago. Now migrated to Lemmy and I’m on Tildes too, but I am definitely leaning toward Lemmy so far. I’m using the mobile site for Lemmy, but was wondering if there’s a good app for iOS. I loved Apollo and am so sad that it’s going down, although I totally understand why Christian is nuking it. Is Jerboa only for Android? Is there a decent app available for Lemmy on iOS?
