▲ 826 ▼ How reddit crushed the biggest protest in its history: Did it, though? (www.theverge.com) submitted 3 years ago by Frostwolf@lemmy.world to c/technology@lemmy.world 315 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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’s been a great experience so far. The learning curve isn’t nearly as large as has been reported permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] macarthur_park@lemmy.world 6 points 3 years ago (1 child) A big part of that smooth experience is all the progress that’s been made in the past month, on both Lemmy and Memmy. The Memmy app only started out as a beta in TestFlight ~4 weeks ago, and was limited to 10k users. The developer has made a truly inhuman amount of progress in that time - he was (and still is) pushing updates more than once a day. It’s only been in the regular App Store for a few days now. Additionally, the largest Lemmy instance (lemmy.world) was having stability issues with the massive influx of users. But just a few days ago they figured out what was causing the problems, and the latest version of Lemmy has those fixes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] creamatine@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) Wow, when you put it like that, it really highlights how much work got put into this because the experience, especially for a brand new app, is very reminiscent of Apollo. They’ve done a great job so far. Obviously not near where Apollo was, but that was over 9 years of development. Memmy looking great* so far edit for spelling permalink fedilink source parent [–] diggit@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 years ago So far the issue that I’ve been having with Memmy is that dictation doesn’t work properly: it will delete a dictated comment when you stop/finish dictation.  There’s a lot to like about it but until that’s fixed I’ll be using Mlem.  permalink fedilink source parent [–] RoronoaZ@lemmy.world 17 points 3 years ago Agreed, liftoff has been super smooth so far permalink fedilink source parent [–] Acid@startrek.website 8 points 3 years ago (2 children) I have been using liftoff also but it is very difficult to find new communities not on your instance or on lemmy.world through the app I couldn't figure it out at first glance so I add them through a web browser and then can access them on the app permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Aviandelight@mander.xyz 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) I've been adding and blocking communities through the browser since I joined. None of the apps currently seem to be able to add or block communities from other instances flawlessly just yet. I am enjoying watching this whole work in progress that is Lemmy though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Acid@startrek.website 5 points 3 years ago Yeah it does seem the apps are currently limited in that regard, hopefully development pace will continue and we'll be up to a point where we can do that in the next few weeks. Once the apps are in a good state we can see how viable this will be long term. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jandar_fett@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 point 3 years ago That's what I am having to do too and thought I was just missing something, but that makes sense since everything is in flux and that might not be the greatest priority since the exodus is ongoing and stability/keeping up with updates is way more important. permalink fedilink source parent [–] crazycanadianloon@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 years ago* My dude, it's ok to shill Lemmy/Fediverse. I've been doing it to people I know IRL that use R3dd!t. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Kom@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I have stuff all idea how half of this works and how I'm doing it, I saw a post recommending liftoff and it's been easy enough to blunder through. I've tried using the mobile web interface for Reddit and it's like pulling teeth. permalink fedilink source parent
