A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Mlem is coming along nicely. It’s a far cry from Apollo, but I feel for the devs in this space; they weren’t ready! It’s a lot all at once.
I’ve been flipping between mlem and kbin (as a pwa for now)
Kbin does have a bit more to offer right now in terms of customization, but it’s barely out of prototype phase itself. You can have a compact mode experience there, but both options are limited and struggling to catch their breath, in their own ways.
Mlem just implemented comment collapsing which I definitely appreciate.
At the same time I’m not mad about the lack of polish in this stage. A lot of the things people hated about reddit came from a particular type of mean-spirited and/or low-effort user… maybe the requirement of a little effort and patience/empathy on our parts now could be to our ultimate benefit :)

I think this is a fantastic point! And I think we should just celebrate the fact this is Reddit. I will give Kbin a look over and see how I feel using it! Thank you!
Ultimately I am so impressed with how well this has all handled the mass exodus from ~~Suckit~~ Reddit. I think this has all the potential and I am committed.
I may be a programmer, but as a person that doesn't not own any Apple devices, I might be speaking out of place.
In the coming few days I'm hoping to learn Kotlin/use my prior experience in Rust and try to help the programmers for the Android app bring out features faster.
My reason for bringing this up is that I can't be the only one that wants to contribute to a good cause like Lemmy and the hope is that there would be participation for iOS programmers too.
But I feel like these things take time, so for now it is too early to make conclusions, especially given the really short timeframe all the migration is happening in
