Why does it have to be so hard to find communities? Trying to add this, but it doesn’t show up: https://lemmy.world/c/boostforlemmy
Should I just leave lemm.ee since it has trouble finding every single community?
When browsing communities from other instances you need to modify the link as follows:
Such a mess of a URL. I sincerely hope something else comes up to surpass Lemmy/kbin, or that the apps in development hide those kinds of messy bits.
I think the main issue right now is just your unfamiliarity. Once you get used to the the format it makes a lot of sense.
[instance-you-are-on]/c/[community-name]@[instance-it-is-on]
This standardisation has already proven itself for multiple years now, with millions of people using it over on Mastodon. People will get used to it. The “this is unfamiliar and scary to me” reaction goes away as the familiarity develops over time.
Yeah that does make sense now that you’ve laid it out, but at the same time I couldn’t care less about seeing the instance info once I’m subbed to something. Even showing my profile as being @lemmy.world is just cumbersome, lame looking, and ultimately unnecssary for so many users. Could be a useful sorting tool for sure, but it would be cleaner to have the option to hide them altogether, y’know? I’m excited to see what all of the devs do with this new platform!
I think at the current point in time it’s useful for teaching early adopters and enthusiasts. A simplified format might develop at later stages when aiming to cross the gap into mainstream household adoption.
One of the things we need to achieve on the fediverse is not just getting people to move to fediverse sites and use them, but to understand why they’re using fediverse sites and why cutting out corporations is a good thing. The average person isn’t going to come over without bigger reasons to, they want their slop and will go to wherever has the most slop. Create a new culture with a reason for people to support it, use that to reach a critical mass to pump out a competitive amount of slop, then at that point you’ll drag in the mainstream.
I’m registered for this… incidentally it’s the first time I’ve ever seen pre-reg for an app before lol
This is what finally made me create a Lemmy account.
Great news. I’m probably more likely to use Sync, but seeing not one but two well regarded Android Reddit apps migrate to Lemmy is just bloody awesome.
Thank you for this great news!
Is Sync migrating too?
Yes, it’s going to be called Sync for Lemmy and preregistration opened two days ago. It most likely will still be some weeks before it becomes available. Ljdawson stated the target is 6 weeks, so that would be somewhere in the middle of August.
Three* Don’t forget Slide.
Great news, Slide is my favorite FOSS client from F-Droid
Sync literally went off the play store about an hour ago :(
Edit: Looks like Sync for Lemmy is happening! https://syncapps.io/
Really missing Relay :(
I’m not missing Relay’s trackers in the paid app.
FOSS?
Got to support the dev of somehow. I’d happily pay for it again.
Are there any Foss lemmy app yet?
Boost for Reddit wasn’t, so I would expect the same here.
Yes! Boost was my favorite.
Awesome, used to use the reddit version and really liked it, switched from the official app and never looked back. Excited to try it out when it releases (also this is my first comment on lemmy, been lurking for a week or so but I think it’s time I start interacting)
I never used Boost for Reddit, but with this many people singing it’s praises… ***BOOST FOR LEMMY, LET’S GOOO! *** Sorry, Connect. You’re still cool tho
Hell yeah!
Fantastic news. This’ll really scratch the itch.
first Sync, now Boost? Let’s funking go!!!
This is Lemmy now, you can swear if its not targeted
Not targeted? Can’t I randomly just tell you to go F yourself and it’d be fine?
I believe you have to supply lubricant.
To keep things friendly and all.
I know, but I find it more fun this way
I paid for Boost premium for Reddit a long time ago and will do it again just to support it here.
As a long term user of Boost for reddit, I’m so hyped by this now!!!
I know there’s a megathread for all lemmy clients, old and new. I just can’t find it. Maybe you guys know? Or Is there a community? I just want an actual list of all lemmy apps.
This one?
Hey that’s the one! Thanks dude.
I thought Rubén said he was going to move onto smaller apps instead of making a Lemmy app?
Regardless, I’m glad this is happening!
