  • I'm very guilty of this. I'm an old man set in my ways.

    Jump

  • My primary gaming is on Xbox and I still can't tell the hamburger and copy button icons apart without looking at them when a game refers to them in a tutorial or menu.

  • Ouch

    Jump

  • I can safely say that unless their design philosophy changes significantly I will never 100% an Ubisoft cookie cutter open world game because nothing they've produced is worth a hundred hours of boring repetitive gameplay.

  • Reddit launches moderator rewards program amid sitewide discontent

    Jump

  • That's amazing. This has big "as a thanks for working your nuts off, we'll reward you with a pizza party" energy going on.

  • What made you choose your instance?

    Jump

  • Even though I was on Reddit for 9 years, I never frequented r/startrek until this year and saw the mod posts about starting a fresh Lemmy instance. Being a member of the Federation in the Fediverse just really appealed to my geek brain.

  • Is there a business in your town, which you are 100% sure is a front?

    Jump

  • Chicago has a weirdly high number of mattress chain stores. There's a stretch near me that has 3 of them in the span of 4 blocks. They've all been there for awhile and there's rarely ever anyone in them. No way these are legit businesses considering how often people buy mattresses.

  • how is this sync price point real?

    Jump

  • I spent more than $20 on a pizza the other day. Considering the many hundreds, if not thousands of hours, I used Sync for Reddit over 5 or 6 years, $20 is a no brainer. That said, I wouldn't pay the $100 lifetime considering because I don't need the perks associated with it and who knows if Lemmy will be around that long (I hope it will but you never know).

  • It Took 23 Days for Lemmy Posts to Double from 1 Million to 2 Million

    Jump

  • If I'm not mistaken Sync's dev is a relatively young guy (I recall reading he was a student a few years back) which likely means he hasn't experienced the joys of vision going downhill with age like many of us old farts have.

    Jump

  • Use the app that works for you. That's why many of us are here, because Reddit took away that option to push their shit tier official app that's far inferior to literally every third party app I ever tried.

  • Lemmy is slowly getting better

    Jump

  • I don't understand the "slowly" part at all. I joined Lemmy about a month ago when Reddit third party apps went dark. Lemmy was largely a ghost town then, with most of the relatively mainstream communities I sought out having newest posts that were days or even weeks old. That desolation was gone after the first few days, with a ton more engagement from others who migrated over and a steady stream of new content. The communities I frequent have grown by leaps and bounds since then. "Slow" isn't a word I'd use to describe Lemmy's growth.

  • Incandescent light bulbs are officially banned in the U.S.

    Jump

  • I moved into my condo in 2010. The bathroom includes a vanity mirror with 6 incandescent bulbs over it. I only have 3 on at any given time since all 6 on at the same time is annoyingly bright. I want to replace them but it seems wasteful to chuck them in the garbage when they still work.

  • What is an item below 100 bucks that everyone should own?

    Jump

  • Amen. Not so much an issue for 40 year old me but I had so many friends in my younger days who didn't own one because they didn't think they needed it...until they needed it.

  • Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?

    Jump

  • No joke, I felt like a luddite after trying to click the "X" in the upper right of an embedded tweet to close it earlier this afternoon on my laptop.

  • Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?

    Jump

  • Whoa, I didn't even notice that the community keyword search actually worked and does so across instances. Thanks for the heads up!

  • Is it just me or did Lemmy suddenly became more active now that Sync for Lemmy is released?

    Jump

  • I was very happy with Voyager which is great for a PWA but I'm in utter awe at how good the Sync beta is. I was expecting a minimum viable product that still needed a lot of updates but it's amazingly polished from the start and basically works exactly as the Reddit version did. It's always good to have options and I'm glad the Lemmy app scene seems to be flourishing.

  • Yummy

    Jump

  • Considering a huge percentage of Thai people are lactose intolerant, I weep for anyone who has to clean the Burger King toilets.

  • First screenshot of Sync for Lemmy

    Jump

  • I'm the weirdo who had 3 different Lemmy apps on his phone trying them all out to see what worked best for me and Connect was definitely one of the ones that stood out. Keep up the good work!

  • First screenshot of Sync for Lemmy

    Jump

  • Whoa, Sync has been my most used Android app for the past 5 or 6 years and I never knew the origins of its name. I just figured naming products is harder than most people think (trying to be original and memorable) hence the basic Sync moniker.

  • Lemmy apps

    Jump

  • For me, it was how amazing Sync's navigation was. I found myself trying to use Sync's gestures in other apps--they're THAT intuitive and reliable. I'm honestly surprised Google or Apple haven't poached the developer to work on making the UIs of their built-in apps work more consistently.

    For now wefwef is really good and does everything I need this type of app to do (mainly adjustable font sizes for my old man eyes with a minimalist interface which I prefer over the information overload that most seem to prefer, different strokes and all).

  • Lemmy Just Reached 1 Million Posts

  • I was lamenting the lack of an NFL community here but no way in hell I'm joining a Dallas Cowboys community regardless of how much discussion it generates. 😆
