Is he born yet?

A/S/L?

Hello fellow !iowa@midwest.social – I am currently enjoying a pop for which the west coast just doesn’t understand.

I actually feel more relieved. It has become toxic and dominated by bots. As soon as a real person posts anything, it’s immediately down voted

I’m enjoying Lemmy much more. Reminds me of the internet of old.

Thank you…great background I wasnt aware of.

I understand the multiple instances, but 100% agree name collisions across instances will be the biggest source of confusion. Will be curious how Lemmy tech stack and communities in general work to make this easy-ish for users.

Interesting…they probably have financial models showing how much more they’ll make and assume very few folks will actually quit using Reddit. Time will tell, but know I am already enjoying Lemmy more than Reddit at this point.

Probably an unpopular opinion…but I do get Reddit’s perspective that these apps are profiting without sharing back to Reddit who bears the costs and built the community. I wonder what conversations were had to find an equitable point for both sides and what that looked like.

How much were these apps making in revenue? Curious how bad the gap is with the API pricing.

I use Hermit to install the mobile page as an app…works pretty well.
