I agree. Everyone involved in that whole ordeal sucks.

Ever been to squabbles.io? 😒 I tried to like it, but I can’t stand it.
I used PowerDeleteSuite to nuke all my comments and posts. Once you set it, it’s all automated. It also has an option to edit all your comments to say you left for lemmy (or whatever you feel like saying if you allow your comments to remain) if you’re inclined to do so.
The app is coming together and improving pretty rapidly so far. I can see that Apollo has been a big inspiration in regards to gestures which makes me feel “at home” while browsing the lemmyverse. I’m definitely loving it.
My only suggestions would be having the ability to change the font size. I’m unfortunately at a stage in my life where it’s becoming more difficult to read smaller fonts, and I’m having to squint to read the comments.
I also made a request to the mlem dev to have the ability to toggle a setting that hides the top and bottom bars while scrolling through threads/comments like you can within Apollo. It’d be nice if a similar setting could be added.
Now this is a comment I can “Chef’s Kiss” to.
Yes! I can’t wait!
I’ve been enjoying the app so far. I’m looking forward to see where the app goes in regards to added features and UI improvements.
Keep up the good work Mlem team!
Doug Demuro from YouTube would be all over this.
I’ve been on it less than a week, and I can already notice an uptick in user activity.
Things seem to be progressing well.
It’s near the bottom in settings. It’s titled “hide bars on scroll”
I’d love to have the top and bottom panels pop in and out when scrolling through comments similar to how Apollo does.
I loved Relay while I was on Android. I’d say it’s the best Reddit app on Android. When I switched back to IOS, I was able to customize Apollo to pretty much mimic the UI of Relay’s.
Once June 30th rolls around, my reddit usage dies along with Apollo.
I was considering pre-ordering an Ally, but the battery life on it is a little underwhelming. I know it’s a similar capacity to that of the Steam Deck, but it packs way more computing power than what the Deck offers.
I wonder if they put such a small capacity battery in it so it’d weigh less than the Steam Deck. I know ASUS was citing it’s weight as a selling point.
It’s obvious that reddit had someone run the stats on what percentage of users would abandon the site completely and who would bite the bullet and eventually migrate over to their app. Obviously there must be more potential earnings with whatever projected percentage of users actually swallow their pride and use their app. All that Metadata must be worth a fortune to them.
I did the same. I checked out the official reddit app, and it’s a steaming pile of garbage compared to Apollo on Android or Relay on IOS. Much like you, those 3rd party apps are reddit in my eyes. The official app is attempting to morph reddit into something other than what it used to be and always was in my eyes.
That being said, I’ve been on Lemmy far more than I’ve been on reddit today, and I intend to continue that trend if the powers that be at Reddit Corp. proceed with their poorly veiled attempt to shut down 3rd party apps.
“but there’s no users on lemmy”
It’s definitely a chicken and the egg situation.
I’ve been lurking here the past few days when I saw lemmy as a reddit alternative. I decided to sign up today as lurking isn’t doing this place any favors. Hopefully more people will sign up, and the momentum will build and continue.
Probably not nearly as much as those guys in the sub. 🤔
