How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? (www.theverge.com)

How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

It really really hope Lemmy takes off. For me, there’s enough here that I’m set. I look forward to the apps getting better and the platform getting more stable.

    If you're still having issues with apps, try wefwef.app. I have no complaints since I started using it.

    I’m actually on the TestFlight for Memmy and it’s getting much better very quickly.

    But I was an Apollo addict and that is a very high bar.

    Wefwef reversing the colors on upvotes and downvotes triggers me, and at least on iOS it has a pretty annoying WebKit related bug where it stops scrolling until you tap something.

    Memmy is quite good though, the functionality is there and the polish will come!

    I was using Mlem more but this latest update to Memmy really looks great, and afaik it’s the first of what I have to add the ability to hide posts (at least on iOS), which was an essential feature for me on Apollo. Now I just want to be able to change my browsing swipe controls to hide and save swiping right like I did on Apollo! Aesthetically it’s looking really good too. I like the Apollo-esque themes.

    Only issue I've had with wefwef is that I can't seem to subscribe to communities using it? Like if I go to a sidebar, there is just no subscribe button. But if I go to the same sidebar in my browser, I can subscribe just fine.

    Anyone else have this issue?

    edit: Just tried again after posting this, and it seems to be working ok now. I've updated it like 3 times in the past 2 days so maybe they fixed it. Neat.

    I don’t want it to absolutely explode in popularity to the point all the drama follows with it. I’m kinda liking being with a lot of savvy app users who contribute right now.
