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.

This. For a lot of people Reddit isn't reddit.com, it's Apollo or Relay or Sync or Reddit Is Fun.

After the apps stop working, they won't be able to keep using the thing they're used to. They can't just go back, they'll have to switch to something different.

I stopped using Twitter when they pulled this API crap, and as a Boost user, I won't use reddit when I can no longer use Boost.

Currently using Jerboa for beehaw and I'm liking it so far, and the dev seems really responsive to user requests. Excited for the communities to get some traction moving forward!

not toot my own horn, but the 3d party app community for lemmy is quite active right about now... wink-wink

the community has risen to meet demand, and it's a very exciting time right now!

That's me, avid Relay Pro user, I'm not going back to the pos native app. Loving Lemmy and the Fediverse! Also, kinda psyched to see it grow.
