I agree it’s too much, but on the other hand the potential user base for the app is much lower than previously with Reddit. So I can understand it, even if I don’t like it.

The Boost dev is also working on an app. https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy

The developer, TalkLittle, has made another app but it’s for Tildes instead of Lemmy or Kbin. It’s invite -only so quite low population even compared to Fediverse instances. Plus iirc it’s only text. No images, no video, etc

Yeah that’s just pre-registration – so you’ll get it automatically when the first release drops.

It gets slightly annoying when you want to use a non-recommended extension (like RES). You either need to swap to Nightly or something like Fennec (on F-Droid). Then you must curate your own collection of extensions on addons.mozilla.org and finally set your browser to pull from that collection.

If this is available it definitely needs to be an option, and I think it probably needs to not be the default. I know I like to know which instances I’m interacting with, and I think it makes sense because that’s part of the point of the Fediverse.

Thanks, and thanks for fighting the good fight over there. Moderation is a tough and mostly thankless task and I can’t even imagine it on a community the size of r/TIHI.

There are screenshots of the mod log showing the “Moderator Code of Conduct” admin account going in and reverting the NSFW settings on multiple subs. Yeah screenshots aren’t always trustworthy but that’s really the best you’re going to get with this. It’s not out of character for Spez though, so I’m not giving Reddit the benefit of the doubt.

Publicity and trying to get ahead of the message are one thing. But on the other hand, he’s telling blatant lies that are easily refuted with audio recordings, transcripts, the actual e-mails, etc. I’m guessing there’s actually some revenue impact already for him to go from “It’ll pass” to this freakout they’re having over there.

You can already use Revanced to strip the ads and suggestions out of the official app. It still sucks shit compared to most every 3rd party app.
