It’s going to take some time or you can create the community. July 1st just arrived. So people are still trying to figure out what to do about Reddit. Not everyone was going to migrate to Lemmy July 1st when 3PA shut down. It’ll happen over time. In the meantime we can all do our part and contribute to the different communities now and create content so more people will want to join.
Mlem and Memmy are in the works for iOS as well and these apps seem promising. So much better than using Lemmy in a mobile browser.
In one of his interviews he said he wasn’t very interested at the moment. But he did say he will watch Lemmy and the fediverse to see the growth of it and decide later on if it’s worth it to build an app for Lemmy. He isn’t sure if Lemmy will actually grow after July 1st but time will tell.
I just installed Mlem and Memmy. Both have a very nice UI and are smooth. I am leaning towards Mlem though. I like swiping right to view my communities.
Edit: I was an Apollo user and reddit does not feel the same without Apollo.
He's the first 3PA dev of a big reddit client to do this. Curious to to see now if other devs will follow or if they will watch the sync dev and see how it goes.
I found the PC Gamer article a bit confusing so I read other articles and understood it better. I get it now. It's not Discord setting these sub tiers etc. They are allowing more servers. Doesn't sound so bad. I guess depending how much a person uses a server they are a member of, they can help support the server and receive premium benefits and Discord who gets a cut of the purchases. All optional. Not too bad as it is up to the individual servers.
Edit: this can be a good thing and help support discord financially. So far we are lucky discord has not sold to a tech corp or gone public.
I have no problem paying for a service or an app if it is good and fits my needs. It's the microtrans and battle passes that people generally have issues with. Paying for every little thing like a meme.
Aside from political views, another social network will not help anything and is only another useless app to install.
