Man i really hope Reddit dies and people move onto decentralized networks, in time I'm sure we can figure out how to index a decentralized network for search engines completely replacing Reddit.
If the content gets great enough, that will happen. Going to take time, but it will absolutely happen. Especially with so many people deleting their comments and Reddit having their feet held to the fire with people making complaints about them violating GDPR.
Lemmy, Mastodon, and the entire Fediverse are really what the internet was supposed to be. I am glad to see the pendulum swinging back and I hope it continues. I am mostly really excited about the mobile apps being developed for Lemmy. Those are coming along at lightening speed and I those will be THE THING that makes Lemmy happen.
None of the mobile apps I saw advertise for the average Joe with little to no technical expertise. They need to do better marketing IMO. I am currently using Jerboa, and the experience is pretty much decent, but there are bugs.
You just have to download them and sign in. It’s not anything complicated. The big issue is most of these are currently in beta (at least for iOS), but Memmy is really nice and similar to Apollo. Same general aesthetic and functionality. It’s also not been a lot of time. It took a couple of months for the marketing of Mastodon apps to really catch up to the needs of the general public.
