If it was just looks. Usually the UX is simply not very good. We need more designers in the FOSS space.

The original developer left the project and handed it off to somebody else. I reckon you’re still on the old beta which doesn’t get updated anymore and got pulled off of Testflight.

Personally I really like that lemmy is becoming more active and there’s more activity on mainstream topics outside the tech bubble right now.

What I don’t like is my instance becoming overwhelmed.

Penetration tester?

Really? For me it’s the opposite effect. You usually don’t get crazy amounts of engagement like on reddit where a post can have hundreds of upvotes and comments but on average, I feel like I’m getting more engagement and more valuable engagement.

That’s not it. The account was 100% empty and the stuff that’s now back, I can delete again. That said - it might absolutely be some server caching issue on reddit’s side. It’s definitely fishy though.

Holy fucking shit. I just checked. All my deleted comments and posts are back.

I’m based in Germany and I’m pretty sure this is a GDPR violation.

Edit: Not all is back but some older comments are. I previously checked and my account was definitely empty before.

I think so, right? There’s a field to edit your comments. Unfortunately I can’t try it anymore since my posts are already deleted and I don’t intend to post anything.

Unfortunately there are many people who simply don’t care. People got used to apps being crap and many don’t even understand the fundamental concept of using third-party clients.

The other point for me is that reddit has been getting shittier long before the API change. Forcing you to use their crappy app when you just clicked a link on mobile, all this weird avatar and award stuff. The weird chat that got bolted onto their message system, yet keeping the two seperate?

There’s no way I will pay for that.

I hope you’re not doing this manually. Power Delete Suite can also do edits.

Works just fine for me. Which device are you on?

My absolute favorite is https://wefwef.app/ . It’s a simple PWA and it feels just as good as a full app and has a better feature set than other clients for iOS.

How do you go back in an app? Do you always tap the button at the top? For me that’s super impractical and I even got a small iPhone.

Glad to see this mentioned here. Wefwef is fantastic and not enough people know about it. It’s the client that made me really dive into lemmy.

Eww look at Mlem being inclusive and open-minded and all.

In addition to what the others said, there was a „campaign“ a while ago that you should boost and not favorite on Mastodon.

Since there’s no algorithm that promotes liked posts in the timeline, liking something doesn’t do a whole lot.

I’m really not a fan of the lemmy / kbin web UIs but I recently installed wefwef.app as a PWA and I really like it.

I don’t have it installed right now but I’m pretty sure the system-wide back-swipe gesture still work here, doesn’t it?

That’s how it is most of the time for me. I unsubbed from LTT because their clickbaity videos made it hard for me to see what I’m interested in. With this extension I might actually start watching their stuff again.
