I’m pretty sure at this point he’s fully just doing a social experiment

seeing how feral people get the more he changes their addiction app

I swear every time I check the reviews, a bunch of them are just like kids complaining about stuff they don’t understand or mad that there are IAPs, so they give the dev a lecture on why their business model sucks cause their parents won’t give them money for it

like so many apps

and i see a bunch of these bogus ones, they’re useless

honestly i use AppRaven and I pay 2 bucks a month for premium to get notifications and it’s really nice, I’ve found a ton of neat apps on there and they notify you when stuff is on sale

They meant the asshole commenter was having a mental breakdown. I’m sorry they said that, it’s ridiculous.

You’re allowed to grieve or distract yourself in any way you want. (I would discourage anything self destructive obviously)

There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going online. I’m incredibly sorry for your loss, and I am sending many good thoughts your way. ♡

i’ve had the same thought as you.

i regularly use the sub tab. i watch youtube on weekends while i clean, so usually on friday i’ll check my home page a few times throughout the day, see if there are any interesting recommendations and save them to my watch later.

then in the evening i do one more home page scroll, then i slowly scroll my subs page and make sure i save anything that looks interesting to my watch later. then i might watch one or two videos from my WL that evening and i watch the rest (or what i can fit in) over the weekend.

I don’t get the point of subbing to a channel if you aren’t checking your subs tab. Like…that’s why it’s there lol bc the home page is a bunch of recommendations

Lemmy feels like Reddit to me and Mastodon feels more like twitter

so to me they’re both decentralized versions of popular social media

i just think of them as my new reddit and twitter since those companies are sitting at their desks jerking it all day

What you describe as the “issue” is the entire point of lemmy and decentralizing and all that.

once lemmy starts dictating “oh you have to change things in this community in this instance to match this instance” and “everything has to follow one master set of rules” they become reddit.

honestly the best way to solve your issue would just be multireddits, if you wanna see content from both communities just add it to a multilem or whatever they end up calling it.

This was really well said!!

I’m here from Reddit and that’s what I’ve been doing, just subscribing to whatever I can find for each subreddit I’m losing, and then whichever one seems like it’s either most active or has the most quality content stays and I unsub from whatever sublems aren’t providing content.

This OP seems pissed off about subbing to multiple sublems that are the same but like…you don’t have to. Go use Reddit? lol

The multiple sublems thing is kinda the point of Lemmy, there isn’t one big overlord controlling everything

So what you’re saying is, Reddit is fucking creators by not compensating them, but when you take that work and repost it without compensation, it’s ok?

Besides, the great thing about Lemmy is that it’s not Reddit. It has a whole different vibe. I think it’s worth maintaining that.
