Totally agree. Check out wefwef.app if you haven’t already. You can add a shortcut to your homescreen so it opens and looks like a native app (which closely resembles Apollo). If you need help with that, let me know.

It’s broken. Some people are saying it’s a lemmy issue and not specific to this app, but I don’t have this problem when using wefwef.

Kbin looks way too much like the latest version of Reddit that is over designed and cumbersome.

Plenty of third party apps popping up for lemmy with Apollo like UI/UX that is much better (like wefwef or Memmy for example).

Yeah I’m curious if all the people in the comments that say they are using and enjoying it also have friends that signed up or if it’s just all meme accounts.

What is there to do? Is it just meme accounts or did your friends start using it too?

I mostly use instagram to interact with IRL friends and follow some meme accounts, so I’m curious what this app even looks like if my friends aren’t on it.

How do I find and interact with things inside the fediverse but outside of lemmy? Like mastodon for example. Do I need to make a mastodon account or is there a way for me to see and interact with it using my lemm.ee account?

Yeah, it doesn’t work a lot of the time. It also let me log in but says I don’t subscribe to any communities (which is wrong) and doesn’t show many any communities when I use search.

Man I’m in my 30s and still do bunny ears to tie my shoes. Never really learned the “correct” way. My shoes do come untied a lot so maybe it’s time.

I have way more bugs on Memmy. I can’t even reply to most comments in that app for some reason. Wefwef can be a little finicky but smoother overall for me.

I love that the it emphasizes that this is a joke and you should absolutely not do this and then lists a bunch of steps that are basically “set up your own instance and be an awesome administrator!”

I’d say that’s probably true for most younger people in the US as well.

There are obviously exceptions though. I like to golf and it’s (unsurprisingly in the US) normal to tip the bag guy at the end of a round that wipes down your clubs and cleans out your cart, so I keep cash on me that I handle somewhat regularly for that. But really that’s the only thing I can think of that I use cash for these days.

I’d assume some people also prefer to use cash when traveling to other countries since (in the US at least), using your debit/credit card in a foreign country can accrue significant fees.

I’ve just always been this way. I will catch myself going to wash my hands going from room to room in my house sometimes, but even I think that’s weird when I realize I’m doing it. I unapologetically wash my hands after handling anything like mail or packages as well. Might be slightly OCD in that regard. On the plus side, I didn’t get COVID until a few months ago for the first time.

wtf are you doing with your poop knife to enjoy it? Poop knifing should be all business, sir.

Okay but how often are you touching your belt after you’re done in the bathroom and have washed your hands?

Definitely not. It’s what’s known as a “dark pattern” in the industry.

Is this at the Morikami Gardens in Delray Beach? Looks very similar.

Oof, you’re talking to the wrong guy. I’m literally a user experience designer. Not even joking.

User interface just means the styling of the website. The colors, button styles, typography, line-spacing, imagery, etc. These guys usually build out pattern libraries or design systems for the UX guys and developers to work with.

User experience design is much more broad, hard to give a general definition. Basically try design “architect” I suppose, that creates blueprints based on data extrapolated through analytics and research.

Sometimes they go as far as to build out prototypes and deliverables for developers using the pattern library created by the UI designers.

This might be the only actual old person trait in this thread (OP included). The rest is basically just “I don’t want to be fucked over.”

Absolutely. We need a prison reform.

Not to nitpick but not ALL prisons in the US are for-profit. They should be illegal though.

Fun fact - other countries that have for-profit prisons include Australia, Canada, France, the UK, Israel, South Korea, and New Zealand.

This won’t do much since most of these prisons operate under state jurisdiction, but in 2021, President Joe Biden issued an executive order to stop the United States Department of Justice from renewing further contracts with private prisons.
