Try to Create a Functional Social Media App in 2023 Challenge (Impossible)

 

When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy.

Now that it's starting to die down a little bit, does anyone regret doing that? Or are you glad that you took that step?

 
 

I asked if people chose iPhone for the blue bubbles elsewhere a couple days ago, and while there was some good discourse on that post, the blue bubbles definitely also came up as a reason.

In my experience, when people find out my texts are green, they oftentimes would rather switch to a different platform altogether like Instagram or just not text at all.

Is this actually a deal-breaker in friendships out there?

 

Like a lot of others, I've been looking at Reddit alternatives recently which is what landed me here at Lemmy.

How do you think Lemmy compares to Reddit? But also, for people who have tried other Reddit alternatives than Lemmy, how do they compare? What has been the pros and cons of each community for you?

 
 
 

Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

The communities are a lot smaller as is to be expected, but it feels really good compared to Reddit. People are active enough and the overall design is so much less cluttered.

Although the bar is pretty low, given that half the Reddit app is just ads.

My guess is someone who really, really, really wants you to see the advertisements. With a little bit of content on the side.

The problem is that Reddit Shorts is something I could ABSOLUTELY see happening in the near future

 

Finally tried the official Reddit app. It's as bad as they say.
