I like to plan ahead and after posting my info in the website https://www.death-clock.org/ it scared me into changing my eating habits.

Maybe some are waiting for Boost or other 3rd party apps but there will likely not be a super big number coming over. Apparently doom scrolling is preferred for a large swath of Gen Zers

Need to focus on improving these communities and being active/creative especially in building niche communities on Lemmy.

I see so many communities created with just a link or two posted weekly by community creator. That kind of activity gives Lemmy a bad look.

Great idea! Also I noticed that sports communities are mainly bots. Really wonder just how many actively posting users there are on Lemmy?

Even in the hay day of online discussion forum websites you’d have trolls that derail threads and bring nastiness to the forefront.

Good moderation, clearly defined rules and quality of content are key- contributes to a quality forum.

The karma farming and bridgading of Reddit is not missed here. Now if we can get some of the niche forums more population.

How about Webferret?

Most of the people that I know who have Iphones do for family chat or teens and college age because everyone in their circle does.

But IPhone owners have no call to be looking down on android users.

Some of the greatest apps, PowerAmp and Photo Studio Pro do not have iPhone versions. Also IPhone runs behind Samsung in innovation. I mean IPhone finally added widgets but the functionality on IPhone pales in comparison to Android.

Also can’t change defaults in IPhone for launcher, music, dialer, and pretty much everything except, browser, and email.

I could never own an IPhone because they think they know best for users. With Android I have autonomy over my device.

Some areas of this country do not get reliable cell signal that is where an FM tuner can still receive emergency alerts but no not IPhone because they disallow their customer base from having and essentially force their power users to utilize their cloud services because once again they fail to offer expandable storage as an option. Shaping their own market but it essentially is anti consumer.

Despite these things Apple is relatively successful with these business decisions (especially in the US) but Samsung Ultra has eclipsed the IPhone Pro with the 23 version and IOS is still playing catch up with Android.

No from what what I’ve read its focused on a text limit like Twitter is.

I can see the content there just is just space activity in them.

Same except for me its BoostforReddit.

It’s a product of META , Facebook’s greasy overlord. Essentially its a separate app from Instagram but it compliments Instagram. It is Facebook’s attempt to siphon users from Twitter. Also Threads accounts cannot be deleted only deactivated at the moment.

I like it but there is sparse activity on most of the Android instances. 😟 Lemmy kind of seems like several of ants scurrying around on a big mound right now. Am a big BoostforReddit fan and am hanging out on Jerboa until their Lemmy app is released.
