Just saw the other day that the Pixelfed developer pushed out a new feature pretty quickly and it reminded me of how much faster you can push new features out when you’re working on a small team with very few developers.
Then I realised that… At the place I work at (an app most likely installed on your phone) - well every change will have a huge impact. If 0.05% of the users’ performance is degraded - that’s a shit ton of users. So we have processes in place. We test on all kinds of devices before releasing.
Running a high quality service at scale is hard and it’s expensive and it’s not always fun because you have to leave your cowboy developer guns at home and do the homework before pushing to production.
I spent way too much time trying to understand why I wasn’t taken to the comments when I hit the comment icon…

Yeah, all apps advertise “no algorithms” - well those algorithms are what is pulling users back and back again and the more you get people to open your app - the more likely it is that they’ll contribute something.
I have to remind myself to open Pixelfed. Which is how I want it to be and how it should be. But I also understand that none of my friends will go there and look at nothing and then check in again a day later.
I go through a cycle for this. I leave Reddit because I hate it. And then I go here and well it’s quite obvious it’s a certain type of people who are willing to jump through hoops and use the fediverse. I find most of the opinions here to be a little bit too extreme for my taste. I just want to discuss football (soccer) and tech…
But I agree with you. It only feels empty because we all decide to not hit “post”.
Much harder to get distracted with a pen and paper. Main reason I use it.
Ah, might be! It’s been 10+ years since I tried it. Back then I found it very hard to navigate
Same with Lightroom vs Darktable.

I loved infinity for reddit. Did I miss a memo or something, I thought he decided to try to make the reddit client financially sustainable?
I think you’re spot on and it applies in general to why we see a trend of subscriptions. When we all got our first smartphones, most apps were local and it didn’t cost the developer more if they had 1M downloads compared to if they had 50 downloads.
I think the main issue is we don’t know where Lemmy is one year from now. I have already started to see a decline in my usage because there simply isn’t enough content. /c/football is virtually dead it feels like and it (or rather /r/soccer) was my number one subreddit.
What the hell, this is so impressive. I’m blown away! Did not expect this kind of experience this fast!
Are you kidding me? Just checked this community for the first time in a month and this post is 15 minutes old? That’s freaky timing
I just try really hard to do the small things all the time. Whenever I leave a room, I try to bring something with me that shouldn’t be in that room. Whenever I go into the kitchen, I try to clean one thing in the kitchen whether it’s putting something in the dishwasher or throwing out an empty package.
Just do small things whenever you have a moment.
Our place still looks chaotic though so don’t expect miracles.
Looks like something I would want a friend to get because I want to try it but don’t think I could commit to a small phone
Makes a lot of sense since it’s a sub for power users. The proportion of 3rd party app users is probably among the highest at Reddit
USB-type C to become EU’s common charger by end of 2024
I mean… Sure, but we’ve had USB-C as de facto standard for many years now. When was the last time you saw a micro USB phone?
If it could sync that with my Fuji camera, that’d be great
