I left Reddit because of the API changes

I left Lemmy because it’s full of terrible memes and content

I'm not looking to be the same. I'm not looking to be anything. Just discovering (and so far) enjoying the alternative I wish I knew about a long time ago. Thanks for the warm welcome! /s

Off topic: These links arent opening on the iOS app Memmy. Any hack around this?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I think that might be a bug, the [email protected] template is pretty standard and even works on the web version. i reccomend updating the app, checking the github repository and checking the settings. But for me it works on the jerboa app. also you should probably try turning off your wifi connection on your phone and retrying, if that wasnt obvious enough. if those dont work try any chatrooms/communities memmy might have, they get resolved pretty quickly in my experience.

I don't think so. You can add your instance's webpage to your homescreen and it's essentially an app. The web version works flawlessly, I've never even used an app for Lemmy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Here on Liftoff(Lemmy app) these community links redirect me to a protonmail message, lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I left because the culture, trolling, and astroturfing got to be too much and the exodus meant Lemmy would have enough userbase to fit my usecase.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Mhhhh you don't like Astolfo?

Wish there was a suitable replacement for crackwatch

Piracy not privacy. I thought the same thing too honestly

[–] theyoyomaster 6 points 2 years ago

Yup, that is it.

I like to say I left in protest but honestly I got perama banned, it's been coming for a while because I was still act like Reddit was old Reddit.

But ima just keep telling people it was in protest

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

[–] [email protected] -4 points 2 years ago
