I would hope so lol
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.
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.
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).
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).
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.
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.
Oh. I've never seen any ads while scrolling. The buffering does happen to me sometimes though, and it is annoying.
I'm on oneUI. How do you change the icon of a PWA?
It feels like literally any third party app for Reddit AND Lemmy are far smoother than the official Reddit app. What makes it so damn stuttery?
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?
The errors seem to have at least reduced a bit today.
Jerboa wasn't letting me sign in lol. I also found it to not be super smooth compared to wefwef and the clients I'm used to on Reddit. Sync could not get here fast enough.
