"Curating" makes it sound like you are some kind of porn connoisseur.

I mean let's be real: Anyone with a fraction of self-respect would walk away from this dumpster fire after being repeatedly called noise by the idiots running the website.
But on the other hand I have to admit that Spez was completely right. This did blow over rather nicely for Reddit, since any publicity is good publicity and it seems like most of it is business as usual minus actually good apps.
So basically, u/Spez was right and people really are addicts. Shame, but not entirely unexpected.
Connect for Lemmy is amazing.
There's also wefwef, which seems to be a clone of Apollo.
Popular Reddit apps like Sync and Boost are currently in the process of making Lemmy ports.
Amazing work as always, Kuro!
It's been a long time since I saw a developer being this responsive and caring about their app.
In no particular order:
- Remove API changes
- Remove u/Spez and his lovely executive board
- Make the site a non-profit project without ads, since most of the work is done by volunteers anyway
Oh, and for fucks sake: Remove that shit stain that is the official app from the universe.
Sure, but why grace the dumpster fire with traffic, when you also can just copy the relevant parts here?
Thank you for your effort in running this instance and also for being so transparent about the whole process.
Boost was well worth the money and I'd happily pay again for the Lemmy port.
I think it's important to not scare experienced and skilled developers away with all that brigading for free and open-source.
Developing good software is not easy and as long as Ruben offers a premium version without ads, that's more than fair.
Have used Reddit exclusively on Boost since 2018. This is amazing news!
Thank you Ruben!
It seems like the future for Lemmy is pretty bright with all these amazing apps switching over.
It's a shame that Christian decided to not develop Apollo for Lemmy for the time being. I bet that would also convince a fair share of users to abandon ship.
It is a pretty big deal. What it essentially means is that you are completely exposed, if you pardon the pun.
And yes, absolutely everyone with basic IT skills has access to this data as it is shared across instances. All it takes is a couple minutes to deploy a docker image and boom, I'm somewhat of an admin myself.
The fact that this data is stored in plain is a major security and privacy issue that makes me rethink this platform.
