    Maybe it’s because reviews like “fuck u/spez, use lemmy instead” contain word “lemmy”?

    Dang, I saw Boost for Lemmy on there and got excited for a moment. I can’t wait.

    With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that’s not too big of a surprise

    Boost for Reddit was great to me. Can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy to come out and even be able to support the devs

      Yeah I’ll defo support boost once it comes out. Even if I still end up using another app, was too late for the Reddit version.

        This is what I’m thinking of doing. I’ve been using boost for ages now and never donate. But after all this, and how quick he(?) went for Lemmy, I’m all for giving him a bit

        They’re one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they’re constantly making major redesigns for no reason.

          It pains me to defend a corpo, but calling Google unreliable for their “fling shit and see what sticks” methodology for developing new products is inaccurate. Google/Alphabet is actually one of the most reliable corpos in the tech sphere, relatively-speaking, if you analyze their core products throughout the years.

          Yes, it does feel like Google retires projects faster than they instantiate them. But that’s by design. The core product (selling advertising on SERPs/YouTube/AdWords/etc) is about as reliable as it gets, and that’s where they get their money.

          Obligatory “fuck corporations.”

            Their core products meaning search and email, sure. Everything else is on the chopping block and randomly changes all the time.

            Remember when they bought Nest and literally bricked everyone’s thermostats? Tasks / reminders / whatever gets completely reworked every other year. They went through a chat phase where they released half a dozen different, incompatible chat apps, and also wrote a chat sub-system into every other app they had.

            They’re lunatics. If all they want to do is search and email, just do that, don’t waste time and consumer patience branching out into all these random things they’ll drop support for in two years.

              I always find it so extraordinary when someone replies to one of my comments with some off-the-wall shit like this.

              You’re splitting hairs I already split. I specifically pointed out that their core products, you know, the things that actually matter, render the company among the most-reliable tech giants out there. I explicitly countered the notion that the fling-shit-and-see-what-sticks method is anything other than an elaborate R&D scheme.

              Yet, here you are, responding to me raging about Google’s failproducts as if I didn’t JUST get finished explaining what that’s all about and how it doesn’t detract from their ability to generate income. They’re not lunatics, you just don’t understand what’s happening. Which again, is wild, because you’re literally responding to a comment where I explained what’s happening.

    At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.

    Now I’m using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.

    I’m waiting for Sync 😊

    I stopped using an “app” for Lemmy. Now that m.lemmy.world has wefwef built in, the web app is perfect. Honestly better than most of the native apps out there.

    That is reasonable. It is a more popular (by installation numbers) that fills a similar niche and close to 100% of everyone that installs a Lemmy app also installed a reddit app at some point. The algoritm should recommend reddit if you search for Lemmy
