Lemmy Reddit That

I don’t mind paying ~1300€ for a new phone, if that phone meets my need. I know it’s a little bit too much according to how much would other people spend, but if I can get more stuff done with that phone, I think it’s money well spent.

An update from Apple. Apple actually reversed that decision. Finally. Tested on latest stable version of iOS 17.4 and it works. (from https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#dev-qa ):

Why don’t users in the EU have access to Home Screen web apps?

UPDATE: Previously, Apple announced plans to remove the Home Screen web apps capability in the EU as part of our efforts to comply with the DMA. The need to remove the capability was informed by the complex security and privacy concerns associated with web apps to support alternative browser engines that would require building a new integration architecture that does not currently exist in iOS.

We have received requests to continue to offer support for Home Screen web apps in iOS, therefore we will continue to offer the existing Home Screen web apps capability in the EU. This support means Home Screen web apps continue to be built directly on WebKit and its security architecture, and align with the security and privacy model for native apps on iOS.

Developers and users who may have been impacted by the removal of Home Screen web apps in the beta release of iOS in the EU can expect the return of the existing functionality for Home Screen web apps with the availability of iOS 17.4 in early March.

Finally, some good news.

@rikudou@lemmings.world Just an update for you. I just tried my PWA app on last stable version of iOS 17.4 and it works again. I made a quick google search if it’s just me, or Apple actually reversed they decision and I found this (from https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#dev-qa ):

I already had android app written in kotlin, so I didn’t need PWA. I guess it’s cool that I can use this PWA on computer, even if nobody would use my app on computer. When somebody asks me, why my app is not on App Store, I just ask them, would they pay 99$ per year for an app, and they say never. Well, there is your answer.

I just made my app as a PWA, just few months ago, just to support iOS. F**k them. I’m not making any effort for iOS apps anymore.

I never use it. But I only listen to songs when I’m driving.

Thanks god I have unlimited 150/50 4g internet at home for around 42€ per month. This month we downloaded around 5.5 TB of data. Also small town, countryside, no stop lights, no businesses other than bars and shops. There is only one stop light in whole region. And whole region is getting fiber optic. We had DSL, but speeds were terrible.

I think you have to create new account anyway. At least that’s what I did for YouTube Music. Because I don’t want to change home country of my main account and I even think you can only change country once a year or something, so I created new one, using VPN set to Turkey, and now I have family pack for around 1.20€ - 1.80€ (this month it was 1.20€), up to 6 users. But this is only YouTube Music Premium, without YouTube Premium.

I am one of the user that switched over to Lemmy, just because of Sync. I heart about Lemmy when I opened Sync for Reddit in July, when it wasn’t working anymore. But app showed a message, that Sync for Lemmy is comming. So I created an account on Lemmy. Regarding automatic update over old Reddit app I don’t think so. I think it has different package name than Sync for Reddit.

9 years on reddit. I didn’t post a lot of content or comments but I read a lot. As soon as they killed 3rd party apps, I left. And switched to lemmy. I like it here. I think I already posted more comments here, than on reddit. I don’t miss reddit at all.

I would recommend this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pwas-for-firefox/

It adds support for PWA in Firefox. I use it because Firefox dropped native support for PWA in Firefox.

You can force reboot phone with holding power button or all buttons for about 10 seconds and it will reboot. You don’t need removable battery fot that. Or you can just remove sim for example. Thiefs aren’t dumb

It’s strange, because from main menu, it works, but from this link, it doesn’t.

I am software developer and even I was confused with the choice of servers. At least at the beginning. Also, I dont think manuals (with explanations which server to choose) are great solution either. At least not when you start using it.

I agree with you. It doesn’t need to always be the same server. It could select randomly between top 5 servers like you said and I think that would be great solution.

Why can’t I access this community with Connect for Lemmy? I’m a little bit confused 🤔

I would say picking a server. Regular users shouldn’t be bothered with that. I wouldn’t say multiple server choice is a bad thing, it’s actually great thing, but regular users shouldn’t be bothered with that. Maybe hide server selection behind advanced section or something like that, so regular users aren’t bothered with that, but more tech savy users can still find that option if they would like to. And default option for server can be lemmy.world for example (or any other server). If using lemmy is too dificult for regular users and learning curve is too big, they will not bother with that and they will just leave. I am using Connect for Lemmy now and I think lemmy.world is selected by default. I am just using it and I was never bothered with concept of multiple servers, and I really like that I don’t have to worry about that.

I was not a hardcore reddit user. I made just 2 or 3 posts in those few years I was using reddit. I was mainly reading posts and comments. I was using Sync for Reddit and there I noticed Sync is comming to Lemmy, I signed up to get notification when it’s ready, but that’s pretty much it. But today I wanted to browse reddit and I couldn’t, and I didn’t want to use official app, because it’s just crap, so I registered on Lemmy, searched for Lemmy app, found Connect, installed it, tried it and I have to say I kinda like it. I really hope Lemmy grew up even more.
