I am myself a software developer and contribute to open source software in my work but I’m happy to pay developers for devoting their time to make really good software for iOS.
I love the idea! Do you know if there are any apps doing the same for iOS? Would love to contribute!
Wow, nice first impression! Are you the developer?
I’ve chosen to go 100% cut off from Reddit but was a daily Apollo user. I averaged around a couple of hours of use each day with Apollo. Since I left Reddit a couple of weeks ago I tried only using the browser version which has been pretty hard. But now that I found Memmy I’m super happy. A lot of the interactions are similar to Apollo and I feel I can interact a lot better with the fediverse using the app.
This was a fantastic read. Thank you so much for sharing it! I’ve started my own lemmy instance in hopes of making an instance available for “everybody” in my region, having the local culture as our common ground. But this helped me realize that it might maybe need a thought or two before pushing forward. Those who I thought would be a part of it aren’t those who would maybe want to give up traditional service for one fighting for freedom, ethics and morals.
Haha, you were right! The reboot fixed it! Thanks for reminding me 😅
Nope, will try and see if it fixes the problem
Awesome that you have joined the fediverse! So, just like email can send messages from hotmail to Gmail, the fediverse is built on a standard allowing social media services to interact with each other. The services built on the fediverse aren’t necessarily the same and they haven’t quite solved it for all the services. Mastodon is a microblogging service that behaves similar to twitter. And startrek.website has a forum like structure. I’m currently answering your post with my account on lemmy.world from where I found your post. The more we use this, the better the services will learn how to interconnect! Welcome to the fediverse😊
For me it’s trust. Do I trust the hosts of lemmy.world to host my data? Do I trust they behave responsibly in their domain so that they one day aren’t blocked from other large instances? Can I invest my data in this instance and build my internet points within their service? What happens if all my points are lost because they get hacked or one day just close down? Gathering internet points is hard work and it has a lot of benefits. As you might have noticed, some people are considering selling their 10 year old Reddit accounts to spam bot farms. They will pay good money for a credible and old account.
Our world is changing. Having a job in the traditional way is just one way to create value. Picking the right instance might one day be like picking an employer. What values do you want to build? Who do you want to invest your time and energy into?
