iOS 17 is a lot of little updates that make a big impact
  • This is likely not the case for everyone but if there is a must have feature in iOS 17 it’s live voicemail translation and transcript of voice memos in text. Where I work people voice memo all the time and it’s annoying when you are unable to listen to it yet they want an answer lol

    Also the new options for stickers as tap back is fun and there is some cool stuff with Live Photos you can do to make your own. And interactive widgets is, I hope, going to be very interesting.

    But overall it’s a lot of very nice feature updates.

  • So where are we all supposed to go now?
  • TLDR - Reddits success was not in its variety but in its ease of use. We need a central place to simple make accounts and login to that is always up and stable and we need a unified front end for searching for communities.

    Lemmy needs a front page and centralized signup, login and search spot. It is a waste of time and effort to explain the mechanics of how it operates to new users. If someone can easily signup, login and search communities (and create them) then the mechanics of how the system works can be explained at a later date.

    The biggest issues for Lemmy right now and in the medium term are going to be scale, finding communities and signups.

    There is so many people from Reddit and other sites that the current mega communities get bogged down and start being unusable which only adds to the confusion on signing up.

    There are some ways around this but none are easy or obvious. A new user will know less popular servers to make an account on if the main ones are inaccessible. Also the log in at one server and you can sue the rest is not something that is quickly explainable.

    Finding communities is also a challenge though it’s getting better with various sights and apps starting to pop up and we still need a lot of the main ones from Reddit created here but even a medium sized Reddit community would render a Lemmy server unstable.

  • Searching Communities
  • Good to know. Something like an icon or something would be helpful but I was under the impression that would search through your current subs not help you search for new sub/communities.

    I guess it just needs some better indicators.

  • Searching Communities

    I might have missed this but all I seem to be able to find is the communities list and the local or all feeds. Is there a way to search for communities in the app?

    A few questions
  • I will take onto this and ask is there a way to search for communities? I thought I saw one after I logged in but now I can only seem to find the all post/subscriptions page.
