Sucks that all of the iOS apps require getting an invite to TestFlight, including joining some discord server to ask for it. It doesn’t help that Lemmy on mobile Safari sucks, so being an iOS user on Lemmy requires either a lot of patience or a high level of commitment.
It’s nice that there are a lot being worked on, but I feel like whichever hits the appstore first will win.
Because it's cool
Did she stop singing, or did she stop being french?
I can't think of any other billionaire I'd want to be rescued by.
ACTUALLY it's GNU/Linux (pronounced gu-noo-SLASH-li-nux). I know it's just a "meme", but get your facts straight buddy, this ain't fucking le reddit.
Don't make me have to rm -rf your ass.
It’s a Lemmy alternative. They aim to do more or less the same thing, but are made by different people and developed independently.
But thanks to federation, Lemmy and Kbin can communicate similar to how Lemmy and Mastodon can communicate. So you can simply use the one you like best, and not worry about missing out on content posted to Lemmy.
Kbin is rough around the edges as it’s earlier in development than Lemmy, but it has more features than Lemmy, like a “microblogs” tab so that you can use it like Mastodon/Twitter if you want.
It happened even while I was typing the above comment. Replying to you now doesn’t seem to do it, maybe because only 2 comments are visible in this view. I guess the full comment thread also tries to load new comments automatically?
Also, scrolling around sometimes abruptly loses momentum, which is very jarring on iOS.
So I’m not the only one experiencing weird jittery scrolling that jumps around on its own for no reason?
The other element to this is the lack of competition. Since companies funded this way don’t need to turn a profit for a long time, they can very easily kill their competitors who do need to be profitable to survive.
So when the time comes for the company to turn a profit, there are few if any competitors left to put pressure on them, giving them the power to do what they want, and leaving consumers with no other options.
Actually I was referring to the background of the comment being colored yellow instead of white. I think it's because it was recently posted when I saw it. It's not yellow anymore, but another comment here posted more recently did appear yellow until after it passed the 10 minute mark.
So I guess lemmy just highlights comments that are less than 10 minutes old. IIRC reddit had a feature like that for gold users, but it only did it after you already visited the comments section at least once.
Why is your comment highlighted yellow for me? (via lemmy.world web ui)
That’s why you should always search for or file a bug report before trying to create a fix.
