  • The app is coming together and improving pretty rapidly so far. I can see that Apollo has been a big inspiration in regards to gestures which makes me feel “at home” while browsing the lemmyverse. I’m definitely loving it.

    My only suggestions would be having the ability to change the font size. I’m unfortunately at a stage in my life where it’s becoming more difficult to read smaller fonts, and I’m having to squint to read the comments.

    I also made a request to the mlem dev to have the ability to toggle a setting that hides the top and bottom bars while scrolling through threads/comments like you can within Apollo. It’d be nice if a similar setting could be added.




  • I feel the 3rd kind have have mostly abandoned the GOP entirely which is unfortunate, because they are typically pragmatic and can be reasoned with. The true believers are definitely concerning since they’re typically far more ideologically extreme and reactionary. I feel the power/money seekers are slowly being purged and replaced by the aforementioned true believers which is just a powder keg waiting to be lit.

    Hopefully it’ll never reach critical mass, but I fear it’ll likely occur in the not too distant future…







  • It’s unfortunate you went about it the way you did since they can still monetize off of the entirety of your comment and post history. When you delete your account, all your comments and posts remain. They’re just no longer attached to your account name since that is what you deleted.

    I was a bit more malicious and did the opposite by keeping my account intact, but gutting everything from within. So now every thread I ever commented in has “user deleted comment” sprinkled all throughout hundreds or thousands of threads.

    My account is now a fine metaphor for what reddit has become. Just a hollow facade of what it once was.




  • I was considering pre-ordering an Ally, but the battery life on it is a little underwhelming. I know it’s a similar capacity to that of the Steam Deck, but it packs way more computing power than what the Deck offers.

    I wonder if they put such a small capacity battery in it so it’d weigh less than the Steam Deck. I know ASUS was citing it’s weight as a selling point.

    I did the same. I checked out the official reddit app, and it’s a steaming pile of garbage compared to Apollo on Android or Relay on IOS. Much like you, those 3rd party apps are reddit in my eyes. The official app is attempting to morph reddit into something other than what it used to be and always was in my eyes.

    That being said, I’ve been on Lemmy far more than I’ve been on reddit today, and I intend to continue that trend if the powers that be at Reddit Corp. proceed with their poorly veiled attempt to shut down 3rd party apps.
