The average joe probably didn't even use a third party client for Reddit and absolutely is not affected by the API changes. They're going to browse reddit as if nothing happened.

What do you mean ads lol, there are no ads. You probably did something wrong or got it from the wrong source. I'm not sure there's any credible Vanced source right now, revanced is probably your best bet

I think it looks and feels nice, but I'm encountering all sorts of errors in literally every app (including wefwef, that decided to stop working completely as I tried to open it 5 minutes ago). While trying to comment right now, I got errors twice (this is from Connect for Lemmy).

Saaaame

Yeah thought so. I'll use wefwef for now until Sync or Boost comes out I guess.

Sorry for an unrelated question, but I have a doubt about instances. If I have this username and email for lemmy.world, can I use the same username and email for another instance? When I tried creating an account with these credentials on kbin.social, it didn't work and said those values were taken.

Exactly lol

wefwef.app

Which app is that?

I would definitely suggest either something like a Pixel 7a or an older flagship. I bought a galaxy S20 FE when it was about 1.5 years old and I haven't regretted it one bit. It doesn't have the best camera though, which is why I suggested a "Pixel a" series phone. I would still buy a Samsung phone because I love OneUI, but that's something for you to decide.

Yeah, seems it was a server issue. I had used the correct instance last time as well, but it worked now. Thanks!

Can I try memmy on Android?

The errors seem to have at least reduced a bit today.

Yeah, already seems better today.

Ahh ok

I haven't tried Mastadon, but I get your point. But I'm sure people would be confused about the instances and stuff. When you really want to try it out, then you typically have patience and see how things work. A lot of people just simply don't care enough to try this when there was no issue with Reddit for them in the first place. I am trying to shift because I'm annoyed at Reddit, but someone who isn't really has no reason to.

No, I don't think it's an issue. Lemmy certainly doesn't need most of Reddit to migrate. But if the number of users is a lot less, there will also be much less content. For me, the ideal scenario is to have a decent numbers of users, but nowhere close to Reddit's (I'm almost totally sure that it won't actually replace Reddit for the general public but I'm just hoping for enough users to make it a nice community with enough content).

Yeah, I'm not surprised that a lot of people in the technical fields used third party apps. I'm talking about the general public that would never know Lemmy exists and would be bored if I even talked for two minutes about a cool app lol (and there are plenty of them).

I didn't like how it liked out of the box. But I customised it until I liked it. I did switch to Sync later, but I would go back to boost any time, it was good.

It definitely takes good enough photos in the day, but it's quite average when it gets a little darker. And for some reason, it gets blurry with any kind of movement. That I noticed day 1. If someone moved their hand slowly in front of a camera, it produces a blurry image. That doesn't happen even in my old budget phone lol. But I'm very happy with it otherwise, and have taken some photos that I love as well.

That could be the case. But it can also go the other way lol, it could end up being a place where a smaller bunch of insane/bigoted/etc people get together.

I can't even sign in. It basically says that my account doesn't exist.

I'm currently using wefwef, it's actually pretty good. I'm surprised at how the performance of the PWA seems better than the official reddit app lmao, it's almost sad. But also, is there a way to change the icon of a PWA on Android?

I would hope so lol

That was my exact situation lol, Sync for primary and Boost for alt.

Oh. I've never seen any ads while scrolling. The buffering does happen to me sometimes though, and it is annoying.

And it's perfect for that. I don't regret buying it one bit. I'm just sad that I don't know what to do about my next phone. The FE series is uncertain and anyway I can't afford a flagship when it's new.
