Sorry to ruin the fun but it stands for "Personal Computer Memory Card International Association"

There is a joke around the name, as you said, though :)

I kind of get what you're saying, but I also think it's a bit naive, presuming you're also only here (as am I) because it all went so wrong with reddit. Do you want to support a platform where there's a corporate running it rather than the community? I think that's why a lot of people are freaking out about Threads, because the wounds are still very fresh/people have seen this play before.

If you like Threads then great, go for it, but if you are gonna hang out on lemmy where there is a culture strongly against centralisation, you're gonna find people talking smack about the thing you happen to like.

He'll have a long wait

This shouldn't be something you need to do with super high frequency. Do you know what is causing the blockage?

Mich macht es auch glücklich. Ich bin selbst kein Entwickler, kann also nichts dazu beitragen, aber es ist echt beeindruckend wie schnell alle Aspekte (Backend, Apps, Inhalte) hier besser werden.

You could transcode your downloads and store them at a lower quality if you want to save space. It is extra steps though.

It's a valid question and I understand your point, but it becomes an issue for me when I end up being caught up the a snowball effect and need to use a bad app too. Here in Europe, WhatsApp is an example of something I'd rather not use, but because it's the platform everyone else is on, it's very difficult to avoid. The parallel I see is if Twitter is supplanted not by Mastodon, but by Threads, then that is the place people will gravitate towards and then the privacy friendly version becomes less useful due to lack of users and content.

Of course it is an option to just not use these apps, but the preferably outcome is that I am able to have the nice experience without sacrificing my privacy.

• Old reddit redirect
• Reddit enhancement suite

Not sure how much you need these anymore 👀

I think over the next few months we are going to see quite the pace of changes in lemmy technically, as new features are introduced. I would be careful with saying you're happy to wait because something stable will be the result. I think it's going to be a case of racing to keep up and, despite the developers best intentions, it will have bugs too. Hopefully over time it will be less blatantly obvious than now with other clients, but don't give up on sync when it launches and is not the sync for reddit experience you're used to! I'm sure he'll get there in the end :)

+1 for duckduckgo, it removes all the built in trackers too and is built into their android app. I really like it.

Which app have you been struggling with? Both Jerboa and Connect worked fine with different servers for me, I'm guessing others are fine too

Unfortunately that page is missing a lot of options, I don't know who's managing it but it would be nice if it was updated
