Search "Lemmy" on the play store and the official Reddit app shows up 6th lol

110 comments

Maybe it's because reviews like "fuck u/spez, use lemmy instead" contain word "lemmy"?
- Yes
  
  That's probably part of it, but there's definitely more factors. I trust the Play Store is able to align user patterns , like how 99.9% of users searching for and downloading a Lemmy app at one point downloaded a Reddit app.
- I accidentally deleted comment when trying to edit. You still might be able to see it from different instances due to how ActivityPub works.

Reddit - the shitty corporate Lemmy alternative

With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that's not too big of a surprise

Boost for Reddit was great to me. Can't wait for Boost for Lemmy to come out and even be able to support the devs
- Yeah I'll defo support boost once it comes out. Even if I still end up using another app, was too late for the Reddit version.
  
  This is what I'm thinking of doing. I've been using boost for ages now and never donate. But after all this, and how quick he(?) went for Lemmy, I'm all for giving him a bit

Dang, I saw Boost for Lemmy on there and got excited for a moment. I can't wait.
- Pre-signed. Can't wait for the release!
- I know right? Eagerly awaiting the day it releases!

At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.
Now I'm using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.
I'm waiting for Sync 😊
- Connect had some issues until recently, but it seems to be working better now

I think that's because there are only 5 Lemmy apps?

Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app
- Agreed. I've been using the website on my phone. I figure I'll check out the apps again after they settle into themselves more.
- You can "install" it as an app on your phone too.
  
  install ... a website? is that a thing?

I'm more curious if any Lemmy app shows up if you search for Reddit.
- For me it's:
  ~~Official~~ shitty reddit app
  to 5. Reddit 3rd party apps
  Discord
  Another 3rd party app
  LinkedIn
  Twitter
  PUBG mobile
  Pinterest
  Some AI shit
  Genshin impact
  to ∞. mostly games
  
  For me it’s pretty much all mastodon apps. I can’t even get to any lemmy apps except Memmy unless i search it by name. The Reddit app doesn’t show up for me though.
- They do not.

Can't wait for Boost!

Yus, another Connect user
- I'm using Connect, too, though I'm basically just in the Boost waiting room.

What's Fedilab?

Google play store is cringe.
- Google ~~play store~~ is cringe
  
  They're one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they're constantly making major redesigns for no reason.
- WE SIDELOAD HERE.

Trust me. This is waaaaayyyyyyy better of how it was 2 weeks ago 👆

I stopped using an "app" for Lemmy. Now that m.lemmy.world has wefwef built in, the web app is perfect. Honestly better than most of the native apps out there.
- Whoa, wait. WefWef (now "Voyager") BUILT IN? How slick is that! (Voyager is one of my fav ways to lemmy...) 😎
  
  I know, right? Pretty slick.
- It crashes my FF eclvery time I fold my phone. I'm using Connect currently.
  
  For me it refreshes every time I unfold while using, it's a little jarring but at least it keeps my place
  Z fold 3 btw
  
  Same here ☹️
- How does one activate that? 🧐
  
  Just open https://m.lemmy.world on your phone then go to Settings then Install App.

And don't forget the Joker!

Same for kbin
- Kbin really needs an app. I like the idea of it, but I never want to use it unless I'm at my desktop.
  
  Artemis just entered the beta phase. http://kbin.social/m/artemisapp

That is reasonable. It is a more popular (by installation numbers) that fills a similar niche and close to 100% of everyone that installs a Lemmy app also installed a reddit app at some point. The algoritm should recommend reddit if you search for Lemmy

It's this the new Reddit m

Well yeah? After the product it will show you similar products.

Give it time, it'll be 10th, then 14th, then..

I mean they do similar things so it's just natural that it is recommend somewhere there.

new user here, is installing more than one lemmy client necessary?
- It's not necessary. OP is most likely testing the various apps to see which one he prefers.
  
  This is my life now

And Summit doesn't show up at all 😞

Also, the great (auto?)biography White Line Fever comes up.
RIP Lemmy Kilmister

Google can't harvest your data on Lemmy

Weird this showing up as I literally just installed Connect (the top one).
Loving it so far.
Allows me to lie back on the sofa without the laptop cooking my balls.
Anyone think I'm missing out by not checking out the others?

yeah maybe that's why
