They have TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE working at Reddit and Memmy for Lemmy is a superior product with how many people working on it?? 3?

Spez is an impossibly incompetent Elon Musk wannabe (the person who just flushed $44 BILLION down the toilet due to incompetence). He needs to be drawn and quartered tbh

I wouldn't say it's a better product, but it is quicky moving in that direction.

I'm so happy user funded and user controlled is a viable market strategy.

The official Reddit app is just a miserable experience. Take away the ads and bugs and I still don’t like it. Navigation, layout, voting are all inferior to Memmy already and the gap is only widening

Agreed! Any time I go back to try it out, it’s a miserable experience. I was spoiled for 6 years or however long it was with Apollo where the user experience was obsessed upon. I’m using Mlem now and it’s refreshing compared to the official Reddit app.
