Maybe it's because reviews like "fuck u/spez, use lemmy instead" contain word "lemmy"?

That's probably part of it, but there's definitely more factors. I trust the Play Store is able to align user patterns , like how 99.9% of users searching for and downloading a Lemmy app at one point downloaded a Reddit app.

then we need to be uninstalling reddit and installing porn social apps immediately after. enough people do it and...

I accidentally deleted comment when trying to edit. You still might be able to see it from different instances due to how ActivityPub works.

Here is what it said:

You can hit the delete button again to un-delete it.

Or just simply press Alt+F4, that'll readd your comment.

Reddit - the shitty corporate Lemmy alternative

[–] SapienSRC@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago

With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that's not too big of a surprise

[–] bulwark@lemmy.world 48 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Dang, I saw Boost for Lemmy on there and got excited for a moment. I can't wait.

[–] Alivrah@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago

Pre-signed. Can't wait for the release!

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

[–] TwanHE@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

Google play store is cringe.

[–] GatoB@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Google ~~play store~~ is cringe

[–] tcj@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They'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.

[–] kep@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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."

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 😊

[–] metallic_substance@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Connect had some issues until recently, but it seems to be working better now

[–] sneezy@lemm.ee 21 points 2 years ago (24 children)

Gotta say, the website works great on phone too. No reason to get an app

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Agreed. I've been using the website on my phone. I figure I'll check out the apps again after they settle into themselves more.

I'm more curious if any Lemmy app shows up if you search for Reddit.

[–] starman@programming.dev 17 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

For me it's:

  1. ~~Official~~ shitty reddit app
  2. to 5. Reddit 3rd party apps
  3. Discord
  4. Another 3rd party app
  5. LinkedIn
  6. Twitter
  7. PUBG mobile
  8. Pinterest
  9. Some AI shit
  10. Genshin impact
  11. to ∞. mostly games

Pretty sure it's a universal app to access all kinds of fediverse apps, like mastodon, calckey, etc.

[–] amiuhle@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Kushi@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

It's a generic ActivityPub client.

[–] Fisk400@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

That is reasonable. It is a more popular (by installation numbers) that fills a similar niche and close to 100% of everyone that installs a Lemmy app also installed a reddit app at some point. The algoritm should recommend reddit if you search for Lemmy

[–] ekZepp@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Trust me. This is waaaaayyyyyyy better of how it was 2 weeks ago 👆

[–] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (9 children)

I stopped using an "app" for Lemmy. Now that m.lemmy.world has wefwef built in, the web app is perfect. Honestly better than most of the native apps out there.

[–] wilberfan@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Whoa, wait. WefWef (now "Voyager") BUILT IN? How slick is that! (Voyager is one of my fav ways to lemmy...) 😎

Kbin really needs an app. I like the idea of it, but I never want to use it unless I'm at my desktop.

Well yeah? After the product it will show you similar products.
