Its ability to search for communities and subscribe to communities outside your instance is wonderful. I don’t know if other apps are already doing that as well, but it certainly helps and makes it easier for newcomers.

When is it coming to Android?

Nah, I’m good

People on Twitter are already trying it because Twitter has been shit.

Someone in my circle created their account and already deleted it. Their explanation was a FAQ screenshot for Threads saying that it doesn’t matter who you follow or who follows you, the algorithm will show or hide things from you based on what they think you will enjoy and there’s no way around it and you also can’t sort by new.

I mean, are companies really paying attention to user needs? Lol

I saw “Blackberry” yesterday and it was a really good experience putting you in the context of those times.

There is one scene where they type a message and wait for it to show up on another device. After a few seconds, it is there and every engineer in the room celebrates.

Then, management/sales guy comes in and they tell about what they’ve just done. He goes yeah, nice, but we do it already, it’s called SMS.

The engineers then say that he is not getting the point. It was a message sent through the network using data, 0 dollars and all and salesman’s eye get brighter.

So yes, I think the sensation was alike.

Tried Jerboa, Thunder, Connect and Liftoff on Android already.

Sticking with Liftoff for now.

Anxious for Memmy, tho.

Probably it is a bit hard to do because I don’t think it is a frontend issue.

Did you notice that the number of upvotes is different among the “same post”?

The other instances create a copy of the original and update after some time, probably. They aren’t the “same post”.

They could be collapsed as of today, maybe, but would only show your home instance’s version, I think.

Ctrl R > start typing

You’re welcome to have your life changed

Since you mentioned Twitter and GPT, I’m also not very much of a Twitter guy, but I open it sometimes just because.

Jesus Christ, EVERY POST is filled with lots of people just quoting the GPT bots to “answer” for them some ironic shit. People can’t even be bothered to even interact with a post of their interest anymore.

Pro tip: because it is Lemmy, you can edit post titles to anything you want ;)

We were there boys!

Liftoff for Android has been great for me.
