Google play store is cringe.
Google
play storeis cringeThey’re one of the least reliable companies out there. Every other product gets cancelled within 2 years, and they’re constantly making major redesigns for no reason.
It pains me to defend a corpo, but calling Google unreliable for their “fling shit and see what sticks” methodology for developing new products is inaccurate. Google/Alphabet is actually one of the most reliable corpos in the tech sphere, relatively-speaking, if you analyze their core products throughout the years.
Yes, it does feel like Google retires projects faster than they instantiate them. But that’s by design. The core product (selling advertising on SERPs/YouTube/AdWords/etc) is about as reliable as it gets, and that’s where they get their money.
Obligatory “fuck corporations.”
Their core products meaning search and email, sure. Everything else is on the chopping block and randomly changes all the time.
Remember when they bought Nest and literally bricked everyone’s thermostats? Tasks / reminders / whatever gets completely reworked every other year. They went through a chat phase where they released half a dozen different, incompatible chat apps, and also wrote a chat sub-system into every other app they had.
They’re lunatics. If all they want to do is search and email, just do that, don’t waste time and consumer patience branching out into all these random things they’ll drop support for in two years.
Google domains was the one I least expected to be killed.

With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that’s not too big of a surprise
I’m more curious if any Lemmy app shows up if you search for Reddit.
For me it’s:
Officialshitty reddit app- to 5. Reddit 3rd party apps
- Discord
- Another 3rd party app
- PUBG mobile
- Some AI shit
- Genshin impact
- to ∞. mostly games
For me it’s pretty much all mastodon apps. I can’t even get to any lemmy apps except Memmy unless i search it by name. The Reddit app doesn’t show up for me though.
They do not.
Give it time, it’ll be 10th, then 14th, then…
At first there was so network instability and compatibility problem that I used PWA and Jerboa and Connect and switched between them multiple times a day.
Now I’m using Jerboa almost exclusively as everything seems more stable.
I’m waiting for Sync 😊
Connect had some issues until recently, but it seems to be working better now
Same for kbin
Kbin really needs an app. I like the idea of it, but I never want to use it unless I’m at my desktop.
Artemis just entered the beta phase. http://kbin.social/m/artemisapp
Cool! Looking forward to trying it out.
I think that’s because there are only 5 Lemmy apps?
It’s this the new Reddit m
Boost for Reddit was great to me. Can’t wait for Boost for Lemmy to come out and even be able to support the devs
Yeah I’ll defo support boost once it comes out. Even if I still end up using another app, was too late for the Reddit version.
This is what I’m thinking of doing. I’ve been using boost for ages now and never donate. But after all this, and how quick he(?) went for Lemmy, I’m all for giving him a bit
yeah maybe that’s why
Trust me. This is waaaaayyyyyyy better of how it was 2 weeks ago 👆
What’s Fedilab?
Pretty sure it’s a universal app to access all kinds of fediverse apps, like mastodon, calckey, etc.
The latest release added Lemmy support but it’s pretty basic. It just let’s you browse a specific instance as a timeline.
So it’s a browser?
It’s a generic ActivityPub client.
It’s a proper app that can parse and follow fedi links internally, and has the native feel you can’t really get with a web app.
And don’t forget the Joker!
new user here, is installing more than one lemmy client necessary?
It’s not necessary. OP is most likely testing the various apps to see which one he prefers.
This is my life now
And Summit doesn’t show up at all 😞
