you're on lemmy.world which is now the biggest instance and therefore is getting hit the hardest with the reddit exodos. You can either wait it out for lemmy.world to scale their server, or you can try a smaller instance with less load on it. In any case you can still reach the same fediverse regardless which one you choose (with some exception as some instance are blocked or deferated, for example lemmygrad.ml is defederated from a lot of instances due their political POV).

That's where apps come in. tons of great ones already. I like memmy on iOS so far.

To be fair, it worked well right before reddit cut off api access. This will probably happen everytime reddit does something stupid to drive away users. In other words, it could happen every two week based on how spez is lately.

Just seeing if this is universal or what cause yesterday I didn't have a sickle issue with this and was scrolling my phone just now and had 2 right away.

Edit: issue seems fixed now. Not sure if the update was the thing that fixed it or not.

I wouldn't say ruined but great diminished. Sporting events, especially when it comes to the finals or Superbowl. Only rich people can afford it and it completely changes the atmosphere from normal fan experience.

I tried it and it seems great for a web app. I still prefer a native option.

Memmy is winning so far for me.

Dude, most us left reddit because we loved our app. Apps are generally more refined than websites and offer better notification interaction.

It's better than reddits mobile site but native apps always win if the dev puts in an effort to make it good.

It's a critical skill, but it was just guess work. Reading those headlines should make you more skeptical but just because I was skeptical of those headlines doesn't mean they were necessarily false. I'd have to read the actual article and then compare it to various sources.

I suppose you're right though because some people just take every headline as complete truth as long as it confirms their biasis.

If there's a shortage then pay will increase. When pay increases more people will become electricians. This is a problem that solves itself.

Got a 20/20. I think this test sucks though. At best, it's a measure of how good your headline bullshit detector is.

No. It seeded the fediverse. More will come tomorrow when the app stops working.

Reddit went from an untouchable site without any competition to something that needs to appease users or risk sending them to competition.
