I love Lemmy but your question is legit. I just signed up with lemmy.world because lemmy.ml is slow/not responding.

Before making a post in lemmy.world guess what? lemmy.world isn’t responding. I know they have scheduled maintenance at 9 CET but it was 20 minutes before that.

Same here… it’s frustrating, loading a post would take like 10 minutes.

Hopefully Lemmy admins/developers would solve this issue. It’s the only social media I use now.

Probably enshitification!

Look it up.

I did use pihole to block it. Sadly, not everyone have the technical knowledge to do so.

That’s why I’d recommend apple products even though they’re not that great.

This is why I don’t buy Android.

The software isn’t optimized enough from smoothness and battery consumption perspective.

Also, the ROM that’s usually comes from the manufacturer is either spyware, bloated, or just crap. You need technical knowledge and risking bricking your device to install custom ROM.

The hardware, which is my least concern, depends on the company you buy from.

My SONY smart tv (with apps disabled) would phone home like ~200 times a minute.

Losing Apollo was the main reason.

However this whole saga unveiled other disturbing things such as how Reddit is leveraging its communities for advertising in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/837198

This.

Everytime I see a federated instance I need to find it in community search to subscribe.

I saw a NSFW image today morning and I unchekced the “show NSFW setting” and It did work

To be fair, they didn’t remove other posts which was posted 3 days ago such as these from r/datahorder and r/apolloapp

Based on a comment here, you were aggressively cross posting. I believe this was the reason for banning you.

Reddit has been falling since 2015 at least to me

1. Redditors became aggressive when they disagree with you
2. Ads everywhere
3. Politics 99% news 1%
4. Mods became s%!t

I used Apollo so the ads part wasn’t an issue for me. But the moment they announced their API disaster, I said enough is enough.

I feel lemmy is light years ahead.

I couldn’t find Mlem in the App Store. How can I download it?

Never mind… I found the test flight invite in their github page
