iPhone SE 2020 here. The main reason I like Apple is because the designs and sizes suit me better. I find that Samsung phones tend to be too big and focus on camera, rather than battery time (which I personally prioritise). I haven’t checked out other alternatives such as OnePlus, Pixel, Motorola since my parents only purchase either iPhone or Samsung. I think if Apple wasn’t so restrictive (their ecosystem), I would like them better (+their prices going down). It’s difficult finding compact phones that focus on battery time nowadays, as someone who doesn’t care for the camera… I truly wonder what new phone I will get in a few years.

Reread the post, I think it addresses the issue. Sorry for my blindness. :')
Hey, this new version looks awesome! Y’all are doing great. I just noticed one issue; when I first opened up the app and saw the list of communities I’m subscribed to, it didn’t nearly show all of them. Maybe only 12 of them appear… is this a known bug?
soap2day.id has been my go-to lately. Amazing, newly updated layout to organise your watchlist. I find that it tends to lag a bit more compared to lookmovie2.to, but on the other hand the quality and subtitles are almost always great.
I’m totally done with Reddit, but that doesn’t mean I won’t miss it. I know Reddit can harbour a bunch of chronically online people, but nearly every interaction I had on there was wholesome. I miss the niche communities and the sense of belonging. I won’t ever go back though, primarily because of the constant ads, but also because the CEO has shown what kind of attitude he’s planning to drive Reddit forward with. I hope as time goes on, Lemmy will continue to grow, sparking intellectual and helpful posts and communities.
I’m glad you feel better here.
I only have Instagram as a form of social media, though I don’t post anything there. It definitely tears at my self-esteem at times, but I haven’t the heart to delete it because I consume other healthy content there. Only got FB to use Messenger with my parents. I don’t get all this social media hype, I guess; TikTok, Snapchat, etc… not my thing.
I like Lemmy. Like some others said, conversations feel more organic and refreshing. The website is pretty ok, I like the new icons here on Beehaw. I’m looking forward for more niche communities to grow, especially those catered towards specific shows or movies. I think I’ll grow to like this site even more as time progresses, honestly.
This is amazing! Thank you for making this.
I get where you're coming from in terms of attracting quality users. I think the devs definitely should prioritise fixing bugs and crashes over graphic design (which I'm sure they do). At the same time I think we need a satisfying design that is unique to Lemmy, in order to enjoy scrolling through feeds and communities.
I can't speak for the developers, but like any app I presume they have to get the crash/bug issues under control as well as add more features to the surface before launching the actual app. The influx of new users is probably overwhelming right now. I'm hopeful they'll release a smooth app within a month, or two, or three... by using Testflight, any beta user can send feedback, which would likely hurry up the development.
First you install the app Testflight on App Store (instructions here https://testflight.apple.com/join/xQfmkJhc). Then click on the Apple icon over here (https://join-lemmy.org/apps) to open it in Testflight and install it.
Yup, I’m also heavy on the customisation aspect. Would be fun with custom icons like you said (the dev said they would implement community-submitted icons in the future), as well as in-app themes like Reddit/Apollo had.
This update looks amazing! I love the profile tab and I’m really happy I’m able to see all the communities I’m subscribed to. Good job, y’all are doing great!
