I picked it because I liked the name.

For me, it runs faster and smoother/more consistantly than the native Android app. I’ve not actually used the iOS one. Also, the updates come in faster.

I’ve not found anything I like more than Voyager. It has native apps for android and iOS, but I prefer the progressive web app version.

He’s 100% in his desperate old queen era.

Hate it. If it’s a person fine, I guess, but I wish bots weren’t allowed to create posts at all. I would rather see Lemmy grow very slowly than see Lemmy become a mirror of Reddit, with shit tons of scraped posts that have little to no engagement on them. That’s not a community, it’s a newspaper. I don’t understand the “massive growth at any cost” mindset.

Absolute strangers will ask you that the moment they find out you’re gay.

My knowledge is really surface level as I’m not a developer. I’m just fascinated by stuff like this and seeing how far they can push it. It doesn’t seem like web apps have taken off the way that native apps have, but part of that is people getting better and better internet over time and more powerful phones, so that things can run without the jank. It does work on both iOS and Android in modern browsers just by going to the URL. Wefwef really is quite stunning, especially if you take into account how new it is and how much they’ve done in so little time. Another good one is https://weather.com, which you can install the same way.

A PWA is an app that’s built on web platform technologies and use the browser engine to emulate a native platform app that uses platform specific technologies (Android, iOS). Since they use the browser to serve functionality, they can be presented on any operating system, and the browser UI is supplanted by the app UI. It can still be deeply integrated into the device, so you can install it to your phone, you get the icon, they can access functions of the device, like notifications, running in the background, running offline even in some use cases. Just instead of the device OS providing the backend, the browser functions as the backend. It’s basically a website wrapper, though I hesitate to call it that for fear of being reductive.

It’s honestly the best progressive web app I’ve ever used.

The lady in the article seems well intentioned, but this quote:

“You guys could be part of the turning point that protects your children, your grandchildren and your client’s children and grandchildren. Isn’t that worth something?”

makes me think she doesn’t know her audience. *They dont care *

Aw man, I kinda liked Mark Cuban.

Also, take rhe tine to scroll through the community and magazine lists, and subscribe to a shit ton of them. I dont run out of content to scroll through at all. Thats saying some for me: Im currently in a shit situation that’s out of my control for now, and have had metric tonnes of time to spend on Lemmy. Fortunately, my subscription list is enormous, and keeps me occupied just fine .

I wonder if something like this could be used to exclude Reddit result from search engine pages.

uBlock Origin works on Firefox Beta for Android.

What’s really nice is he has the reposts all coming from the same bot, so people who still want to keep one foot in the reddit door can have their cake, but those of us who are just totally done with reddit can just block a single bot. That way we dont get flooded with Reddit posts in /all. I really appreciate that setup, cause I just dont want to look at Reddit anywhere anymore. I’ve been suggesting lemmit.online anywhere I can, so that multiple people dont start doing it and it doesn’t become too unruly to block it all. Being able to just block one bot is nice.
