Not the summer sale but the Steam fest, I played House Flipper 2 demo, I really enjoyed it and it turned out it was the most played one.
House Flipper is a sort of simulator, the purpose of the game is to buy houses in horrible conditions, renovate them and resell them, there’s something oddly satisfying in it, I love it :D
I’m doing it exactly like I was doing it on reddit, that is, build up my personal home page with all the communities I want to see then I changed my settings to default to subscribed when opening Lemmy instead of All.
Every now and then I check the list of all communities to see if there’s something new worth following, that way it’s also easier to avoid communities that do a lot of spamming, overwhelming the smaller (more interesting IMO) ones.
Very well said, it must have not been easy at all with the huge and sudden influx of people, but everyone did (and is still doing) a fantastic job in keeping lemmy a beautiful place to be.
I’m a fringe case then lol, I keep them until they actually break, they do last 4-5 years for me, sometimes more, I don’t make intense use of my phone, I much prefer using my PC for basically everything.
Thank you for reacting so quickly!
True, I bought an ipad more than 7 years ago to read because e-readers are too small for my liking.
I don’t use it much anymore since I have an e-writer now, but it still receives updates regularly, whatever comes to my phone comes to it as well, it’s impressive.
Happy to hear companies are finally getting it.
Well, Google isn’t famous for being reliable in the long run with their services, Apple is proven at this point, tho who knows, I’ll wait a few years and see if Google is still at it with their Pixels.
That’s the reason why I switched to iPhone after many years of Android, security updates are vital nowadays with all the sensitive data and apps we use on our phones, Apple is the only one that guarantees al least 5 years, iPhones are not too expensive if you don’t buy the latest models and I’d rather avoid supporting companies that don’t understand the importance of security.
They’re not telling (rightfully so) and hopefully won’t until all instances are fixed.
The performance improvement is very noticeable, thank you so much everyone for the excellent job!
Have a look at this explanation
If you want to know more, here’s a starting guide
You’re not missing anything by not using apps, as other people said, many people came here because reddit apps stopped working and they’re looking for replacements.
I never used apps on reddit, old.reddit on desktop was by far the best experience for me, I don’t intend to use apps on lemmy either.
marketing team says that and worse behind closed doors
That’s my point, all companies driven by profit do that, we just don’t know.
Key word is “driven by profit”, not all companies are like that, there are also smaller companies that do care about their customers, but if they get big enough, or they get investors involved, they change for the worse.
And among the worse, some companies are smart and don’t disclose what they really think to the public, other are stupid like reddit and totally lose trust by showing their true colors.
written by dishonest people, for dishonest people, on how to manipulate the reddit userbase into buying your shitty products
Isn’t that what every profit-driven company does? I mean, it’s shitty, but I don’t think it’s something exclusive to reddit.
Fantastic write-up! Thanks for sharing so hopefully other people can avoid the same problem.
It’s true that not everyone has the chance to find another job when their current one is bad, but in general, keep in mind that when bad things go out to the public (like in reddit case), things inside the company are even worse.
I bet admins are venting among themselves even harder than what we do here, so I believe they wouldn’t be affected by “hanging out” here as much as you think.
I mean, noone is hating directly on them, we know they’re just following orders and that the culprit is the ceo.
True, but admins are just employees, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if, by reading here, they understood it’s time for them to find another job.
Microsoft Teams is the official communication tool for business where I work, no need to use whatsapp tho a few colleagues use it for fluff, as for personal/family, some of my family use whatsapp but I don’t (I use Discord), if we want to talk to each other we use “good old-fashioned” phone calls :D
