Go back to work in the office, slaves, so you need to buy my shitty cars to commute.

Easy there, spez!

If it means the end of overpaid talking heads then I’m all for it.

Yes. Apollo had a near-flawless interface. Christian kept smoothing up the experience until it was a dream to use! Because he listened to his users and built in the most popular functionality requests. And kept fixing stuff that broke due to changes outside of his control.

Example: at some point a couple years back, links to YouTube videos no longer consistently worked (some could no longer be played from within Apollo). Christian added a feature so Apollo would open the phone’s YouTube app, load the requested video there, and start playing it.

Also his work to make gifs act like YouTube videos comes to mind. In Apollo you could scrub forwards and backwards in a gif, mute or play the sound where available.

We collectively need to do something to secure the long-term future. My initial thought is to follow aspects of Craigslist - create a non-profit behemoth that has a virtual monopoly on the infrastructure, so it cannot be displaced by a for-profit entity. No one can challenge Craigslist’s hold on “electronic classified ads” because 1 ) network affects 2) they can’t be undercut on price while still creating an “economic surplus” ie profits for someone else. Maybe this proposed organization could charge a small subscription fee for power users or something like that.

Memmy. Seems like the best iOS option. Glad to have it! Long live Apollo.

Thanks for the honest feedback.

What do people think about scraping Reddit for some specific content and rehosting it over here on Lemmy? For example the stories from r/BestofRedditorUpdates. It would make Lemmy feel more like home and add much needed content.

That is very helpful!

I’m game! Disclaimer: have been on lemmy < 24 hrs :) 10+ yr redditor.-

One of my all time faves!

Thank you for sharing this. new thinking for me to explore.

PS if anyone wants to work with me to try and make this happen, I am game.
